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:
