Fortune 500
The Fortune 500, a ranking of the nation’s largest companies compiled by Fortune magazine on the basis of 1994 sales.
Fortune has reformulated the list to include service companies as well as the industrial firms that historically have comprised the rankings.
Each entry includes rank, name of company, headquarters, change from last year for industrial companies (or the notation “service list” in the case of companies that had been part of the separate Service 500 rankings) and the 1994 sales figure.
