Abstract
As history progressed and people in general became dissatisfied with hiding their hard-earned monies in a well concealed place, such as the bedroom mattress, or burying it in the proverbial coffee can, they began to search for more productive ways to put their monies to work. rite growth of many small and subsequently prosperous corporations in the economy provided just such an opportunity. As time passed, an ever increasing number of potential investors began to see the opportunity to share in the rapid growth and the profits of these corporations.
