Names in the News – Dump and Tiffany Co

My husband and I both spotted notable names in the news on Friday. I saw Dump in an article about a woman who’s been collecting names from gravestones in southwestern Missouri:

With every cemetery visit her binder grew, and grew. With names like Vannoy, Maudi Mae, and even Dump.

He saw Tiffany Co in an article about retailers gearing up for black Friday:

Expect to see heavy price-discounting among most retailers this holiday season, but not as aggressive as last year’s stunning markdowns. “On average you might see 30% to 50% off, but last year was 75% to 80% off,” says Tiffany Co, director of retail at Fitch Ratings.

I love that Tiffany Co studies retail trends. I would have loved it even more if she were a jeweler, though.
