History
Founded
in 1837 William Procter and James Gamble Incorporated in Ohio on May 5, 1905
In the beginning
After the invention of the electric light bulb, the demand for candles fell significantly, thus causing the newly formed P&G to cease their production.
During the Civil War, the government began to order mass quantities of soap from P&G for the Soldiers usethis significantly led to P&Gs return to the market and their second chance at rising in the business world.
