As i go through these, at times there are companies listed, ie Nestle's Co, then there is a name as manager. I indexed the managers name, but do i do anything with the Company name? My first instinct is not to index companies, but i want to be thorough

    Index companies that are listed as "John Doe Furriers" or "Thompson Bros." Do not index companies that are named "Nestle's Co." or "Chicago Tribune." With both examples, index every unique name associated with that company; ie: "John A. Doe, manager, Nestle's Co.", will be indexed as "John A. Doe."
