I am in Tennessee and we have a store here in my home county named "Jot'em Down" store. The whole community is named that. When I was a kid and saw the store's name for the first time I was with my Great Uncle, Hassel Young. I asked why that store was named that and he said it was because when folks would charge their goods they would jot it all down (name and what they got). When the store first started it was the only one around that would let folks charge. Point is: we got that kinda stuff here too.
