A Prized Possession
A few years ago a lurker kindly sent me a book on the Great Depression. It was in rough shape but I leafed thru it and this fell out
How cool is that ?
Roger Babson was quite the guy
Fascinating Character
Role in development of Andrews Pitchfork
He learned to draw a nominal line through zigzagging market action on charts from George F. Swain, a Professor of Engineering when he worked with him and later taught this technique to Allan H. Andrews who further refined it into “Andrews Pitchfork” a now commonly used trendline indicator

I Must say from his picture here he bears a striking resemblance to my Buddy Dave ( Rambus) …who is also a fascinating character.
Lucky find, but I can’t tell quite what that is that has Roger Babson’s name on it. Is it a page from the book you were given to read on the Great Depression, by Babson? If so, what is the name of the book? It must be a rare one indeed.
Its his calling card
I cant find that book but it was rare
Cool! That calling card is a great piece of history.
