So say the GGG's of New York, eight girls who guide visi tors through a financial land markthat has become the third largest tourist attraction in New York City. Any one of these girls might tell you about the Texan who some time ago entered the build ing and asked, ' but where's the cattle?" The "three G's" are the gal lery girl guides of the New York Stock Exchange. Million Dollar Gallery They now operate In a million-dollar visitor's gallery and exhibition hall which last March was opened by the New York Stock Exchange building, to ac commodate the ever - growing numbers of visitors. Each year the guides take nearly 400.000 visitors, about half of them women, through the visitors galleries of the 165-year-old exchange." Over the gal lery railing they point out the busy trading floor below, about the size of a football field but far more crowded. The exchange now has 1,366 dues - paying members. Since 1950 the prices paid for the memberships called seats, al though everyone on the floor stands, have ranged from $38, 000 to $113,000. Members are entitled to execute "buy" or "sell" orders in the exchange's 1.200 listed stocks. More than half 51.6 per cent of the 8,630,000 stock owners in the United States are women. Know More Now The girls say it is obvious more visitors know about stocks and the Stock Exchange than they did five years ago, because they never ask anymore: "Where are the seats " They know there aren't any. A recent survey shows the most frequently asked question today is "Can I go to the floor and place an order?" The an swer: "No." Other frequent questions: What's the price of a seat on the exchange now? Answer: Around' S72.000. Why aren't there any women on the floor? Answer: No woman ever has applied for member ship. How did you get your job? Answer: "Applied for it." Actually the gallery girl guides also have to apply them selves to their jobs. Catherine Wittemore, a former airplane mechanic and flier, says they're chosen for personality, appear ance and ability to learn. Dancers, Models, Artists She said most of the 35 girls ages range from 20 to 35 who have been GGG's since the serv ice started, including former ballet dancers, models, an artist and a comparison shopper, knew little of finance when they began. They bone up on the business in an intensive 16-week training course at the Institute of Finance. It's part of . their job to give a 15-minute talk on. the Stock Exchange, then an swer questions, and it's a tribute to them that they rarely are stumped, even by experts. Visitors rarely ask their guides for tips on stocks. When they do, they are told, "we never forecast the future of the mar ket." Of . course the gallery girl guides get their share of odd questions. The favorite anecdote of the week: A little old lady excitedly pointed to the figures 3:12 on the wall above the stock quota tion board and said breathlessly, "Oh, tell me quickly what that stock is. I want to buy some as soon as I can. I've been watch ing it, and it's gone up two points in two minutes." What she saw was a dial-less electric clock.
