Transforming P&G

Proctor and Gamble started out as two companies making and selling soap and candles separately.  But in 1837, William Proctor and James Gamble decided to come together and form one company.  And for the last several decades been a great company and a mainstay of Wall Street and Main Street.    In 2003, it earned $43.4 billion in net revenues, making it the largest household and personal products company in the world.

P&G products are everywhere.  At home, when I do laundry, I use Tide or Cheer.  When I get sick, I use Vicks for a body rub.  For the babies, we use Pampers.  In the bathroom, I use Charmin.  In the morning, I brush my teeth with Crest, and I drink Folgers coffee. in 1987 P&G introduced the world's first 2 in 1 shampoo which is very popular today.
