Exercise 3
In the previous lessons we have learned how to deal with letters that are used together
to form a name. In this lesson, we’ll learn how to file names with numbers.

II. Numbers of more than two digits are given their proper numeric value.

Rule 7
A business name is filed as written unless it is the name of an individual, on that case it
should be transposed. Consider the following examples:
Top One Supermarket
Prime Choice Chemical Co.
Katrina Co Boutique
They are filed by unit as:
Co Katrina Boutique
Prime Choice Chemical Company
Top One Supermarket
EXCEPTION: When a firm named for an individual is so well-known that to transpose it
would cause confusion, it is filed as written.
Examples:
Jose Rizal’s Aklatan
Vicky Belo Skincare
