He doesn't look like an Industrial Average!
Is ... Is that him?
Wikipedia says the Dow Jones Industrial Average was first published in 1896 by Charles Dow and Edward Jones the co-founders of the Wall Street Journal. But Wikipedia didn't exist in 1971 so a guy named Dow Jones could probably convince a lot of people he invented it.
I'm guessing you are joking, but in case you are not, Dow Jones was, and is a company where people work:

That dude must have been pulling in some serious tail. It was the 70s, so I can say that, right?
Well I'm pretty sure both of the photographed women are one step away from literally worshipping him.
