Baseball and the Rifle Team at the NYSE, 1927

JF Ptak Science Books  Post 1377

Is there nothing else that shouts out $15 trillion market cap than this NYSE basketball team?  Well, probably.  These photos appear in a New York Stock Exchange personnel department publication for 1927, and as the HR -arm of the Exchange,  devoted itself to all things necessary to the average employee of the 1300-person entity.  The NYSE seemed to be fairly well involved with the health and free-time status of its workers, reporting on programs for self-betterment, general reading, health care, health insurance, savings and spending, training, "mental guidance", retirement plan (singular), and so on.  These photos come from the "Employee and His Play" section, and discusses the achievements of the many sports teams hosted by the Exchange.
