tarting in 1906 in a basement workshop in Hartford, connecticut, he made brushes which he sold in the first week for $62. In the 1960's The Fuller Brush Company was selling $2,000,000 worth of brushes and other products a week. Over the span of 54 years, Fuller not only built a modern mass production business from a handcraft operation; he made the name Fuller Brush Man a household word and invested door - to - door selling with an integrity that was a far cry from the reputation of the yankee peddler of Fuller's boyhood.
