<<Is there an easy way to find the market cap for gorillas MSFT and CSCO circa 1991 and the companies with the highest market caps in 1991?>>

I looked at the April, 1991, Fortune (the Fortune 500 issue) on microfiche at the library (not everything is on the internet, yet). Membership in the 500 is determined by sales not market cap with GM being #1 with $126 billion sales. Microsoft and Cisco not on the list. (When did CSCO go public?)

Ranked by market cap:

1. IBM		   $75 billion
2. Exxon		69
3. Philip-Morris	62
4. GE			58
5. Merck		41
6. Bristol-Myers
	Squibb		40
7. Coca-Cola		35
8. Proctor & Gamble	30
9. Johnson&Johnson	30
10.Amoco		27
