Why are
women’s purses
bigger than men’s?
Remember all those cartoons you’ve seen of a wife going
through her sleeping husband’s trouser pockets? They may
give you a clue why some women’s purses are bigger.
But we’re inclined to think that there are other and
better reasons why more women than men own stock in
so many of America’s largest companies.
For one thing, women are practical, thrifty, and inclined
to do something sensible about their future finances and
those of the family. Forgive us, mister, but the facts speak
for themselves:
Women have outnumbered men share owners of tele
phone stock since 1900. The big food companies have a
predominance of women share owners. Ditto the country’s
largest auto maker. And, at last count, 116,800 women
owned shares in General Electric as against 83,000 men.
Big business, as it turns out, is a woman.
About 2,100 of these women—and men—turned out
this spring to attend the G-E annual meeting and eat a
box lunch in one of our largest factory buildings. If you’d
like a report of what was said and done, just let us know.
A card asking for “Report of the Sixtieth Annual Meet
ing,” Dept. 6B, General Electric, Schenectady, N. Y.,
will do the trick.
