Rich folks don't get together in a crowd that big. For example, in a corporation listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the facts are: over quarter million people own just one to five sh'ares, $150 to $750 worth, at recent market prices.

not single one of the million owns as much as one-half of one per cent of the company's stock. Or look at the 400,000 stockholders in a company making automobiles. A third of them own less than $1000 worth of stock. And two out of three stockholders of a big food company own less than 50 shares. It's millions of average-income people who own shares in America's corporations.

Owning stock means owning "a piece of a one's money in order to share in the profits. Despite this wide ownership, some people still ask, "Will my investment be welcome if my spare money will buy only a few shares?" The answer is simple, positive. Handling investors' orders for a few shares or hundreds is the day-to-day business of member firms of the New York Stock Exchange. Helpful information is yours for the asking at any of their offices, which are located in 378 cities. They invite the opportunity to put their facts and experience to work for you.
