COMPANY

General consumer products company, founded 1896 by the merger of companies founded by John Dwight and Austin Church. One of their major products is Arm & Hammer baking soda, so some perverse pleasure was no doubt gained by naming Armand Hammer to the company's board. Other brands include Brillo, Scrub-Free, Close Up, and Trojan condoms.
