annual reports and the archives of the companies themselves.

labor/management actions, NAIC codes, key dates, ticker symbol,
principal subsidiaries, principal divisions, principal operating
units, principle competators and other significant milestones --
all peppered with statistics, dates and names of key players.

name within each volume. Each volume includes a cumulative index to
companies and personal names. Vol. 7 and subsequent volumes include

well as from material supplied by the companies themselves. Entries

profiled may be selected for updating.
