Avon started out as the California Perfume
Company when founder, Mr. David McConnell, 28 of New York, NY, USA
discovered that the rose oil perfumes he was giving away were the
reason people were buying his books.
He named the company Avon in 1939 in tribute to his favorite playwright, William Shakespeare and Stratford on Avon.
Mrs.
P.F.E. Albee of Winchester New Hampshire, USA pioneered the company's
now-famous direct-selling method. Today, with sales representatives
numbering three and a half million, Avon products are sold in 143
countries around the world.
Women have been selling Avon since 1886 – 34 years before women in the US won the right to vote! |
