During the first half of 1925, customers and employes of electric service companies purchased 1,929,600 shares of stock, valued at $185,- 130.000. This was 23.6 per cent of all the electric utilities financing during this time. Just how rapidly the small buyer is becoming interested in this class of securities may be learned from the fact that while the total sales of securities for June, 1924, and June, 1925, were approximately the same, about $26,500,000, the number of purchasers last year was only 14,600, where this year it was 40,150.
