Leading California companies are listed in the 1987 Roster in the following categories: industrials; financial institutions, including banks, savings and loans and holding companies; merchandising firms; transportation firms; insurance, including life and fire and casualty; and utility corporations. A 1987 rank and a rank for the previous year 1986 are given numerically for each industrial company. Others categories have a letter preceding the ranking: A holding company would show H-6 to indicate a rank of 6 within that category; see Code below for further identifications.
