359 Repetitive Word Removal

Remove repetitive words; however, standard business word abbreviations are preferred over word removal. The compression technique in this step should be applied only if standard abbreviations do not meet your business needs.

Can remove repetitive words in business/firm names. Abbreviation preferred to removal.

Line #9 — Business/Firm Name
