History

William Procter, a candlemaker, and James Gamble, a soapmaker, immigrants from England and Ireland respectively who had settled earlier in Cincinnati, who met as they both married sisters, Olivia and Elizabeth Norris, formed the company initially. Alexander Norris, their father-in law called a meeting in which he convinced his new sons-in-law to become business partners. On October 31, 1837, as a result of the suggestion, Procter & Gamble was born.
In 1859, sales reached one million dollars. By this point, approximately eighty employees worked for Procter & Gamble. During the American Civil War, the company won contracts to supply the Union Army with soap and candles.


Ivory is one of P&G's oldest products (first vended 1879), P&G is sometimes referred to as 'Ivory Towers' and its factory and research center in Saint Bernard, Ohio is called 'Ivorydale.' Ivory is whipped with air in its production and floats in water.
