The Spic and Span Story
Product Description They had it! Put any name on it that suits---courage, faith, ingenuity, desperation, whatever---Naomi called it gumption. In 1930, the markets had crashed, banks were CLOSED, 40 million people lived in poverty and civil strife loomed. Naomi, with her husband and two friends also searching for survival, invented a new product, Spic and Span, The perfect Cleaner for all Painted and Varnished Surfaces, and brought it to market. An amazing feat for four amateurs in a small midwestern city. Still more amazing---fifteen years later they sold it to Procter & Gamble! The Spic and Span Story tells how this all came about, and also what happened to a family unaccustomed to wealth and prosperity. About the Author Robert W. Stenglein (Bob) is the "Son of Spic and Span.) He was present at the conception and enjoyed the affluence of the sale. Bob moved to California in 1984, has two daughters and three grandchildren.
