More than three-quarters of its annual 45-million-share volume comes from brokers outside Philadelphia. Most of that business involves stocks listed on the big New York exchanges. Says Wetherill: "No broker would do business with us when he could save his customer the 50 a share on the other regional exchanges...
Black is beautiful, says the Negro slogan. Money is golden, says Hollywood. This year they coincide: Sidney Poitier is the number-one money-making star of 1968, reports the Motion Picture Herald in its 37th annual survey of superstars. After Poitier comes Paul Newman; third is Julie Andrews; fourth is John Wayne-appearing among the Top Ten for a record 19th time. In fifth position is a newcomer, Clint Eastwood, whose made-in-Italy "Dollar" westerns were appropriately named. The sixth is Dean Martin; seventh, Steve McQueen; eighth, Jack Lemmon; ninth, Lee Marvin; and tenth, Elizabeth Taylor. There...
