Business? Person? Both?

My current set has this:

The odd bolding made me think it was a business—so I checked the reference images.

So, apparently, a business? But I also saw these—

Also, if the business name is the name of the person who would be indexed on that page—is the person listed elsewhere? Or do you index that person on that page? E.g., would Doug Daniels of Doug Daniels Inc. in the Daniels section be indexed in that page?

    The obvious businesses, like Metropolitan Coal, are not indexed and the names within that listing are also nott indexed. Obvious names like George M. McCoy are listed, as they are personal, residential listings. You will also index Edward J. Montague, etc. When a person is listed with a business, they will have their own, separate entry elsewhere in the directory, but you would not necessarily index that listing.

    Then, I would include W H McLellan, yes?

    Yes, since W H is a person.
