Why This Broadside Is Special

1864 to 1974. Trading happened on the exchange floor in a more restrained, local
style than Wall Street—making period materials like quotation broadsides especially appealing for collectors.
About James Carothers & Co.
James Carothers & Co. was a prominent Pittsburgh brokerage and investment securities firm active
through the late 19th and early-to-mid 20th centuries. The firm was a member of the Pittsburgh Stock Exchange
and operated out of the Peoples Savings Bank Building, 305 Fourth Avenue in Pittsburgh.
They were known for working “thin corners” of the market, specializing in:
- Unlisted and inactive issues
- Local bank stocks
- Insurance stocks
- General investment securities
The firm also has legal significance in U.S. financial history due to a landmark 1911 bankruptcy case,
In re James Carothers & Co., which helped establish the stockbroker/customer relationship as
principal and agent rather than debtor and creditor.

- Pittsburgh history collectors
