Parts of summary from "Developing the student-citizen of finance: sponsored film at the New York Stock Exchange, 1947-1973." "Last December [1951], the New York Stock Exchange opened a new exhibit room and theatre adjoining the gallery overlooking the trading floor. Visitors who come to the Exchange (it is one of the sights of New York) view the seemingly hectic procedings on the floor, look at exhibits and models of the operations of the Exchange and usually visit the theatre for a showing of a film which goes on every half hour. Beginning this month [December 1952], the Exchange will replace an older film, Money At Work [1947], that had been fairly satisfactory but did not exactly 'tick' as it should have, with a new picture, What Makes Us Tick, that is completely different"--Business screen, 1952, v. 13, no. 3, p. 43, viewed online January 17, 2024 via the Internet Archive. "The Stock Exchange stepped up its educational program tremendously. Its color cartoon movie called 'What Makes Us Tick' was a hit. More people were conducted through the visitors gallery above the trading floor than ever before in its history"--Ottawa citizen, January 1, 1953, p. 21, viewed January 17, 2024 via Newspapers.com.

Public learns about investing in common stock and the process of listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) through the story of an oil drum company's expansion to meet the increasing production demands of its customers.
