Description

This rare train ticket was issued to Clarence W. Barron on March 1, 1887. He traveled on the Fall River Line Old Colony Railroad & Steamboat Company's Railroad. The Fall River Line operated from New York to Newport or Fall River. Clarence W. Barron is largely considered the founder of modern financial journalism and was one of the most influential figures of Dow Jones & Company, the Wall Street Journal and Barron's Magazine.

Barron purchased Dow Jones & Company in 1903 after the death of founder Charles Dow. He was president until his death in 1928 and also controlled the Wall Street Journal and founded Barron's Magazine. All of these are still in circulation today.
