The Sock Exchange is a large organization open 24/7 that was founded by The Furmasons that provides services for pets to buy and trade socks to help stimulate the economy.

During its first appearance in The Great Sock Mystery, Pal was brought by his friend, Amigo, to the hideout to explain and show how socks have disappeared. In The Great Lint Rush it closed down due to a sly businesstoad, Mr. Toad. When he became convinced that lint was worth more money the market was reopenned.

History and Purpose

Some pets have formed a faction called The Furmasons that would help humans survive during problems that are big or small. The company has been made to boost the humans' economy when socks are taken and more are being bought.

During one night, Pal was brought by Amigo to explain the reason for many socks' disappearances. In order for Pal to get D.W.'s favorite sock back, Amigo gives a suggestion in trading with the phrase "buy low and sell high". Lacking success and losing all the good socks, Amigo informed Pal and Kate of the person who has the sock.

Later on, Mr. Toad will briefly turn down the exchange as all socks will be gone. It became difficult for pets to do business with the expert businessman since he is the only one with the socks in Elwood City. When the lint business has brought Mr. Toad to become part of it, he gave all the socks back therefore restoring and reopening the market.

Goal

The challenge of the organization is to ensure and extend the favorable macroeconomic performance and holster the capabilities of all to share in the prosperity that is being generated.

Mr. Greenspaniel's Name

Along with his name, the character Mr. Greenspaniel is a play on Alan Greenspan, the former Chariman of the Federal Reserve. Mr. Greenspaniel's incomprehensible ramblings reference "Fedspeak," the "'turgid dialect of English' used by Federal Reserve Board chairmen in making intentionally wordy, vague, and ambiguous statements" to prevent investors from overreacting to official statements. The "Sock" Exchange is a pun on the Stock exchange that drives the modern economy.
