Stocks and Bonds
Published Jan 01, 1900
An account executive at a stock-and-bond firm telephoned an elderly woman client who had purchased her first stock -- one hundred shares of Proctor & Gamble. He told her that he had just heard they were going to split. "Oh! What a shame." she lamented. "I'm so sorry to hear that. And, they've been together for so long too."
