Value Line
Tom & Jack:
Pre-Internet and Personal computing (early-80's), I was part of an investment club with some work associates.
We always did our research in Value Line at our local library.
Sometimes we would take photocopies of the few pages for companies we wanted to consider. 5 cents per page!
I was only in that group for a year but had to leave due to a corporate move from MN to TX in 1984.
BTW and Off-Topic:
In the following year, I discovered AIM middle of the night when I couldn't sleep.
So turned on the TV and ran across Robert Lichello's infomercial.
I remember being very impressed, but was not going to spend the $300 for the 3 ring binder with 163 pages. I had no idea he had written his much less expensive book 8 years prior!
As it happens, around the same time, my (since deceased) father-in-law caught the same informercial and bought it! On his next visit he handed the binder to me and said this investment program sounds too good to be true, but I can't find the 'fatal flaw'. So he asked me to but I wasn't able to.
I still have those 163 pages!

I guess the rest is history.
