Under a cottonwood tree, standing
opposite what is now No. CO Wall
street, 24 independent brokers on
May 17, 1791, signed an agreement

fected. The exchange -is not incor
porated, being a strictly voluntary
association. It has now t,100 mem
bers. In 1909 a membership or seat
in the exchange was sold for $96,
000, th highest price on record.

Be a Booster
Do you know there's lots or people
, Settin' 'round in every town,
Growlin' like a broody chicken,
Knockin' every good thing down?
Don't you be that kind o' cattle,
'Cause they ain't no use on earth,
You just be a-booster rooster,
Crow and boost for all you're worth.
If your town needs boostin', boost 'er;
Don't hold back and wait to see
If some other fellow's willin'
Sail right in, this country's free. '
No one's got a mortgage on it,
It's just yours as much as his,
If your town is shy on boosters,
You get in the boostin' biz.
If things just don't seem to suit you,
And the world seems kinder wrong,
What's the matter with a-boostiu'
Just to help the thing along.
'Cause if things should stop agoin'
We'd be in a sorry plight;
You just keep that horn a blowin'
Boost 'er up with all your might.
If you know some feller's failin's,
Just forget 'em, 'cause you know
That same feller's got some good points,
Them's the one's you want to show.
"Cast your loaves out on the waters,
They'll come back" 's a sayin' true,
Mebbe, too, they'll comeback 'buttered,'
When some feller boosts for you.
