In 1833, Olivia Norris married an English candlemaker in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Her sister, Elizabeth, married an Irish soap maker.
The candlemaker’s name?
William Procter
The soap maker?
James Gamble
In 1837, they started a business called Procter & Gamble.
Today, Procter & Gamble is massive, operating in more than 180 countries with an extensive portfolio of popular brands:
Personal Care: Gillette, Head & Shoulders, Olay, Crest.
Household Care: Tide, Dawn, Febreze.
Health & Wellness: Vicks, Pepto-Bismol.
Baby & Family Care: Pampers, Bounty, Charmin.
But they didn’t start this way.
For their first 74 (!) years, P&G only sold soap and candles.
From a small soap and candle company to a global powerhouse, P&G shows the power of consistent compounding over a long time.
