content: When agents represent one or more lines or routes, they are filed by their business name or proprietorship in this subseries rather than with the line(s) they represent.  Folders in this subseries are marked BUS.   

Exception: Several agent files have a small volume of bills of lading. To provide an example of business operations from the agent perspective, in a few instances these have been kept together under the agent name, rather than sorted by the vessel.
