When did Procter and Gamble become such a large company?

They own a lot of brands, and a majority of them in same categories like paper products, detergent, soaps, and even some snacks.

It’s been decades. Procter & Gamble is among the first corporations about which i read the new financial strategies of practicing monopolies through loopholes in the law. I was a teenager at the time.

At least as far back as the `60's. We were always hearing ads for their stuff on t. v. back then! These days, I never hear a thing from them!

It has been big for as long as I remember. They rolled out Pringles in the 70s.

Must have been a while ago. I don't really follow business/corporate news that much...

Simples...
