People Gathering in Front of the New York Stock Exchange
(Original Caption) New York, New York: Wall Street financial stability of the U.S. was toppling for a few minutes on Oct. 29, 1929 when a coalition of bankers and industrial executives and government officials went to the rescue and checked an hysterical shrinkage of stock market prices which, had it continued, would have brought ruin to hundreds of thousands of investors and suffering to millions of homes both in this country and abroad. Photo shows a scene in front of stock exchange jammed throughout the day.
