I don't recall TM ever having a name for or anything as organized as a company for his business. He was pretty informal, meeting clients at the club and the estate etc.

I seriously doubt he ever incoporated. I do remember the references to the yellow pages ad, but I can't recall ever actually seeing the ad.

Episode in question... I believe is Adelaide. I think she referred to his business as a consortium or something of that nature.

I remember Magnum's ad mentioned helicopter rides as part of the investigative services. T.C. was scoffing at this, mainly because of the gas bill Magnum owed him!

This was a preview of the "Great Hawaiian Adventure Company" idea!!!

I don't think Thomas had a company name either...my thought is that his listing was just his name and that he was a Private Investigator and some of the services that he offered. Like a professional person, y'know. Lawyers and doctors don't have company names. They do business under their own personal name.

I think you are right Agatha...thanks everyone for your help.

But here is another one...how did Magnum earn his lucky $2.00 he lost in the seventh season "Forty"?

TM - My grandfather was one of the world's great collectors. He collected souvenirs, stamps and friends, but his prized collection was a stack of uncirculated currency, all silver certificates, all two-dollar bills. On my 13th birthday, he gave me one of them and told me to read the serial number. It was my birthdate, and in time it became my "Lucky Two". I'd carried it with me ever since ... until last night.
