need a way to reach the savings of the public at large. The same problem, on a
smaller scale, faces practically every company trying to develop new products
and create new jobs. 2. there can be little prospect of raising
the sort of sums needed from friends and people we know, and while banks may
agree to provide short-term finance, they are generally unwilling to provide
money on a permanent basis for long-term projects. So companies turn to the
public, inviting people to lend them money, or take a share in the business in
exchange for a share in future profits. This they do by issuing stocks and
shares in the business through The Stock Exchange. By doing so they can put into
circulation the savings of individuals and institutions, both at home and
overseas. 3. When the saver needs his money back, he does not
have to go to the company with whom he originally placed it. Instead, he sells
his shares through a stockbroker to some other saver who is seeking to invest
his money. 4. Many of the services needed both by industry and

raised through taxes alone. The Government, local authorities, and nationalised
industries therefore frequently need to borrow money to finance major capital
spending, and they, too, come to The Stock Exchange. 5. There is
hardly a man or woman in this country whose job or whose standard of living does

development. In one way or another this new money must come from the savings of

savings can reach those who need finance. A. The way companies reaching
