In the history of American business, this great year was 1886. This year, David McCartney, a book salesman in New York, was surprised to find that the perfume he gave with his book was favored by customers when he was promoting the collection of Shakespeare. So he founded Avon perfume Company under the name of Avon, a river in Shakespeare's hometown; That year, Coca Cola was born in Atlanta, and its first bottle of "weird" shaped product was launched on the market; That year, the famous George Eastman developed the first automatic camera and named it "Kodak"; Sears Roebuck, the pioneer of global bulk mail order and retail industry, was also founded in this year and remained the global retail industry leader until 1992. Citigroup was born in this year and later became the world's largest banking institution; Johnson&Johnson was also established in the same year, initially manufacturing pharmaceutical diagnostic products, and later producing globally popular moisturizers, shampoos, and Band Aids. If we add Karl Benz's invention of the world's recognized first car in Germany, then these company names that appeared in 1886 can actually outline the growth line of the world's companies for the next 100 years.
