Where it all started: American Business Icons.

When it comes to defining history, anyone and everything has one. Even the businesses we visit every day, has a history; how did they get started, where did they start, and most importantly, who started them. Some of these stories we know, and some we think we know.

With this series of post I dig into the origins and histories of some of our most notable iconic businesses and products; not just in the United States, but worldwide.

I hope that these posts will inform, and delight you, as much as it did for me in writing them. So sit back and enjoy; “where they all started.”
