I had to go to extrordinary lengths to prove that you are supposed to use a comma before the "and" in a list. To the point where I was told that my Chicago Manual of Style was old. Just call the reference desk at the library, I told them.

Chewing Wax:

He opened the letter, read it, and made a note of its contents.
This is also the usage of the Government Printing Office and of the Oxford University Press.
In the names of business firms the last comma is omitted, as
Brown, Shipley and Company
The abbreviation etc., even if only a single term comes before it, is always preceded by a comma.
