Years ago I belonged to a club which built an HO sized town with a wholesale paper supplier (Pickwick's Papers). We also had a farm oriented buisiness, Fee Cee's Fertilizer and several others of similar ilk that I can no longer recall. Don't forget the unusual last names that sometimes find their way into small town business names. In the city you might have something like "Superior Office Supply". In a rural area where there may be a bit less marketing savy you might find something like, "Finklediltz Office Supply". Frequently, instead of "Smith Chevrolet", car dealers will have names like, "Smith Motors" or "Smith Motor Company". Here in Kansas City, we have both Thoroughbred Ford and Extreme Ford. In a smaller town those businesses would bear the last name of the owners instead of "Thoroughbred" or "Extreme". Naming buisnesses on a layout can be fun. Enjoy it, and let us know what you decide on. <br /> <br />Cheers, <br /> <br />Ed
