Love in the Office

Maybe you met your wife or
husband through the ofiice.
Yours was the kind Of honor
able" Office romance on which
all corporate managements look
benignly. even though your
work output may have slumped
while you two were incoming
about each other.
Or maybe you're q bachelor
or single girl hoping that
through the ONCE you1l meet
someone you can marry. You
also may be confident that your
corporation won't discourage or
prohibit your kind Of dating,
and If your boss were asked a
direct question about this. he'd
probably smile and say, I'VE
believe in marriage"
But there is another kind Of
Love in the once" which is
"The Skeleton in the Business
Family Closet"
This is the Illicit love affair
between two married employees
or between one married and
one single employe. This Is
the Office relationship which
most employers hate to admit
even exists. This is O subject
which has long been taboo
despite the fact that 1t is one

the inclination was to deny
that they'd ever had any ex-

they are forced to action. Then

Carroll Morgan Recalls
40 Years in Securities

Some big changes have oc-
cured In the Washington Sc
curities business In the last 40
years. according to Carroll
Morgan. well-known investment
counselor and limited partner
of Jones. Kreeger a. Co.
Just about this time in June.
1919. Mr.. Morgan started as
a board boy with Moorhead g.
Elmore. The Arm, which no
longer exists. had Offices in the
basement at 729 Fifteenth
street NV. now occupied by
the Securities Building.
It was an old-fashioned
chalk board and the boys had
to step lively on busy trading
days so that customers could
keep up with the market.
Sees Biggest Changes
Looking back over 40 years,
Mr.. Morgan believes that the
three biggest things that have
happened in the securities
business in that time have
been:
/. The great widening Of pub
lie interest in securities.
2. The Securities and Ex-
change C o m mission, which
created public confidence and
made broader ownership pos
sible.
3. Development of pension
funds and their investment in
equities.
He recalls the founding of
the Bond Club Of Washington
on June 6, 1925. He was one
Of the 10 founders and became
the clubs first president.
Only five Of the original
members are still living. In ad-
dition to Mr.. Morgan they are
Winslow Van Deventer. Sidney
Thomas. William Mackall and
Franklin Ellis. The club elected
seven Washington bank presi-
dents associate members. OF
these only Robert v. Fleming
and Joshua Evans remain in
the financial district.
