I wonder if a guy could get a hold of one of Great Northern’s stock certificates.

But of course...wanna buy one?

I have two, for a total of 100 shares.

They were cancelled 7/17/29, but they are gen-you-wine certificates.

They were issued with a par value of one dollar and twenty-five cents each, which, when they were purchased by my grandfather, were severely undervalued.

Just kidding about selling them, they are family heirlooms, but they do represent what our family is about, as far as our life's fortunes are concerned.

I also have West Canadian Oil & Gas Limited and the Cuba Company...fairly common items, but still collector items, for some folks.

I actually would be very interested in buying one of the Great Northerns. My wife is from Duluth and her father worked on the railroad and in the steel plant there.
