AUDIT ROW #403 · UNNAMED COURTS PRINTED AS AN UNNAMED RECORD
Walkerton's motel era is a directory-strength record with no named court in it: across 1950–1990 the town's corridors (US 6 and SR 23) carried the era's roadside trade in gas, food, and repair — all documented in the business and food records — but no named motel, tourist court, or motor lodge seated inside the town stands in the directories reached. The discipline of this article is in its second clause: the record is printed as unnamed because it is unnamed — no court is invented a name, a neon sign, or a postcard history to fill the era out. If roadside lodging existed at the town's edges below directory strength (a cabins sign, a rooms-over-the-garage trade), its settler is the Independent's classified and display advertising across those decades, named here; at directory strength the era's verdict is that the through-traveller's night was spent in Plymouth, South Bend, or LaPorte, and Walkerton sold him supper and gasoline instead.
