...corporate accounts. In addition, the company has a 2,600-strong force of part-time saleswomen, mostly middle-aged, who troop from door to door, hawking stocks and bonds. This corps was established 30 years ago, when the company sought to spur personal investment by distributing savings chests to Japanese households.
