ROSS, JOSIE B.

ROSS, JOSIE B. leaves you with a company name and very little else, so the real issue is absence of shape rather than any clear defect. By our assessment, it belongs to the kind of record that is too thin to judge on business grounds and too bare to suggest a product or service. That means its main use is as an index entry, not as something that tells a reader what sort of company it is. The downside is practical: anyone trying to understand it has to supply the missing context from elsewhere. Against ordinary named companies with visible work, ROSS, JOSIE B. remains close to the minimum possible description.
