Parting Comments
· Deep Thought of the Week: Nothing is more common than unfulfilled potential.
· Notable Quote: “Any man can make mistakes, but only an idiot persists in his error.”---Cicero
· That’s Puny Department: Once upon a time in the old West, the Hangman was asked, “Is old rope good enough for a hanging?” The Hangman replied, “ Frayed knot. That stuff is bad noose.”
· Did You Know Section: In 1837 the United States was in the grip of a financial panic. Market plunged downward. Hundreds of banks closed their doors. People wondered if the economy would ever right itself again. But in the midst of these hard times a Midwestern businessman planted a seed that would flower into a multibillion-dollar business.
Alexander Norris had two daughters. One was married to a maker of candles, the other to a maker of soap. Each man’s business depended on a steady stream of animal fats. Rather than see his sons-in-law compete for the same raw materials in a depressed economy, Norris urged them to go into business together. Reluctantly, they agreed. Today, they are recognized around the world for turning animal fat into a fortune. Their small Cincinnati business has become a worldwide powerhouse with more than 250 brand-name products, from Pepto-Bismol to Pampers.
The sons-in-law were named William and James. Their last names?-----Procter and Gamble.
