ITEM 4 · THE BOUNDARY ARTICLE THE LEG REQUIRES — CREDIT IS NEVER IMPORTED
Every small town in a great firm's penumbra risks inheriting the firm's genius by osmosis; this article exists to place the verbs where they belong, so Walkerton's record credits only what Walkerton did. Studebaker: designed in South Bend, engineered in South Bend, built in South Bend (and, in its last years, Hamilton, Ontario) — sold in Walkerton, by Williams Supply Co. at 408 Michigan Street from 1951, a sales point on a national house's registry. The town's Studebaker verb is "retailed," full stop. Bendix: founded on the brake and the starter drive, built in South Bend and Mishawaka into an aviation and automotive technology giant — never seated in Walkerton in any form; the town's Bendix verb is none. The radio and instrument names of the region's technology fame are the cities' likewise. Against those placed verbs, the town's own technology names stand at their true size and need no borrowing: the Central Cut Glass Co.'s works (1909–1919), where a decorative technology of real distinction was actually practiced on this ground (Arts owns its telling); and the composites line — Plas/Steel Products by 1973, Polygon Company from 1949 — where materials technology was and is manufactured here, at Industrial Park Drive. (The continuity between those two composites names is this section's standing named gap, GAP-W6-9, settler the Secretary of State's corporation files; it is not asserted here.) The boundary article closes as ordered: the famous names made elsewhere, printed as elsewhere; the town's own works printed as its own — smaller, and actually its.
Principal sources: Businesses (the dealership and manufactures courses; GAP-W6-9); Arts (the cut-glass works).
