Business
Flare
These kids are developing a flair for business.
In fact, they’re selling Hares as part of their
highway safety kits.
They’re Junior Achievers. They’re learning
about business by getting into business.
Guided by volunteer advisors from sponsor
ing companies, they form and operate their
own. They take the legal steps of incorporation
and raise capital by selling public stock. They
produce and advertise and market their prod
ucts, and they pay dividends from their profits.
Then they liquidate their assets at the end of
the year to make room for other companies and
new Achievers next year.
Kids learning about the American way of
business — that’s what Junior Achievement is
all about. And we’re proud to be a part of it.
