Waddell & Reed – Traveling World War I Exhibition
To celebrate the company’s 75th anniversary, Waddell & Reed created the Traveling World War I Exhibition. On August 24th, Waddell & Reed rang the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange, as well as completed their final stop of an educational tour that traveled to 75 cities in nearly every state. The traveling exhibit featured 66 artifacts, such as weapons, uniforms, posters, and flags. Funds raised at each stop were divided equally between the local museum and the National World War I Museum, based in Kansas City.
