One new businessman in
Livingston is T.H. Stotts, local in-
vestment representative for
brokerage firm of Edward D. Jones.
Edward D. Jones & Co. was
founded in 1955 in Mexico, Mis-
souri, the first of more than 1,650
offices in 48 states from coast to
coast, the company claims to be
the nation’s largest investment firm
in terms of retail offices.In 1970
they were one of the first firms to
offer U.S. government-guaranteed
bonds in unit sizes that individual
investors were seeking, typically
$1,000 and up, in $1,000 incre-
ments.
In 1981 they became No. 1 in the
nation in terms of number of New
York Stock Exchange branch of-
fices.
They reached their one millionth
customer in 1989, and they are the
only firm of this size serving in-
dividual investors exclusively.
Last year they exended their
branch office network to all 48 con-
tiguous states.
Edward D. Jones prefers a con-
servative approach to investments
and advising people who like to
gamble with their money to deal
with some other firm. They leave
the more speculative investments,
such as options, commodities and
“penny stocks,” to other firms.
They base their decisions on the
investor’s long term interests.
The local representative through
on line computer with the St. Louis
office has access to the customer’s
account information electronically.
“With a touch of the keyboard, an
investment professional can take a
look at the current range of invest-
ment ideas available and use his or
her expertise to help an investor
reach a decision about where to in-
vest their money.”
Stotts began as a local represent-
ative in October and he will be put-
ting in a local office soon. Prior to
joining office soon. Prior to joining
the Edward D. Jones firm last year,
Stotts spent years in retail business
with the J.B. White Co. at Hil-
lsboro, Rockdale, and Heame, and
was the merchandise manager for
J.B. White in Jacksonville. He then
worked for Daville Inc., which had
specialty stores, and was the vice
president of marketing.
Stotts is originally from Pit-
tsburg, Texas. His wife, the former
Becky Alexander, is a native of
Livingston^They met in 1961 while
attending Stephen F. Austin
University. They have a daughter in
Austin and a son in Connecticut
and have two grandchildren.
