Does H & H Roofing come before or after Hart Book Store?

Company names starting with letters only always come before proper company names. Letters in alpha first, then proper names after:
ABC Roofing
H & H roofing
J & J roofing

Hart Book Store

If you have St. John Brown, do you include St. and if you do, do you spell it out (Saint) or go by St. or do you skip it and go by name in order to file in alpha?

Below is the way I've always filed and I've worked in an administrative environment for over 20 years.

ABC Roofing
Art Supply Company

H & H Roofing
Hart Book Store

J & J roofing
Just for Kids

Hope this helps.

How should I file C.B. Hart & Sons, Inc.

You file it as St. John Brown.

You don't spell it out unless it is already spelled out.

You would file C.B. Hart & Sons

After any entry that has just alphabet letters before a name.

Anytime Systems
A. B. Systems
A & B Systems
Carrathurs Bros.
C.B. Hart & Sons
C & W Hart & Sons

You just ignore the periods within the name of the firm when filing.

May I have a test given by you I take my exam on tomorrow.

:)May I have an example of alpha filing . I take my exame on tomorrow. You have given me so much just within a short time. I have been practing and I am enjoying myself. I feel confident. Bless you
