100 Years of P&G Canada! #Giveaway #PGmom

If you follow me on social media, you'll know that last week I was lucky enough to be in Cincinnati - and it wasn't just because each day I was there was 34 and sunny, while Toronto dealt with 15 and rain.

I was able to join the American Pampers Baby Board to learn more about diapers and the AMAZING things coming this year from the brand. While in the hometown of Procter & Gamble, we also visited P&G Headquarters and got to visit the Archives and learn all about how Procter & Gamble started.

William Procter, a candle maker, and James Gamble, a soap maker, married the Norris sisters. Their father suggested that the men go into business together and Procter & Gamble was born.


Have you wondered why it's Procter & Gamble and not Gamble & Proctor? It's because Procter was more established and already had stationary so Gamble just added his name with a pen.

Do you know which brand was P&G's first? That would be Ivory - a soap marketed for both washing body and laundering clothes.

You can learn more about P&G History here. Check out this neat infographic that documents P&G's history in Canada:
