In the early 1880s, the Journal was more of just a news bulletin which was named as ‘flimsies.’ The publishers of The Wall Street Journal use to hand-deliver them throughout the day at the stock exchange market to the traders. Initially, these news bulletins use to publish in a ‘daily summary’ called as ‘Customer’s Afternoon Letter.’
With the passage of time, ‘Flimsies’ got popular among traders and then finally one fine day, reporters (now publishers) Charles Dow, Charles Bergstresser and Edward Jones named it as ‘The Wall Street Journal.’
