The original DJIA consisted of a dozen stocks: American Cotton Oil, American Sugar, American Tobacco, Chicago Gas, Distilling & Cattle Feeding, General Electric, Laclede Gas, National Lead, North American, Tennessee Coal & Iron, U.S. Leather (preferred), and U.S. Rubber. Only one, General Electric, is still in the average today.
