union and confederate armies regularly traded tobacco for coffee and other goods throughout the civil war , also without much preference for brand . the bull durham brand , though , grew out of an incident in durham , north carolina that occurred at the close of the war . soldiers from both sides raided a farmer ' s tobacco crop as they waited for a surrender to be completed . after returning home , these same soldiers wrote back asking for more of this tobacco . the farmer , mr . john green , happily obliged ; the tobacco was named bull durham in 1868 and later became the largest selling tobacco brand in the world .
one of the most important aspects of bar promotions relates to the impact of social influence on product usage behaviour and brand selection . social influence theory suggests that individuals may conform to meet the expectations of a person or group . 39 research into reasons for smoking uptake among adolescents has shown that social influence , especially peer smoking and peer approval of smoking , are predictors of smoking behaviour . 40 although over 80 % of smokers begin to smoke before the age of 18 , there is still opportunity for young adults to be influenced to begin smoking or continue smoking once they have reached the age of majority . the bar environment presents an ideal social context for tobacco companies to focus on opinion leaders in order to influence smoking status and brand choice . 41– 43

6 . 6 1920s the bathroom comes of age white has been the color of choice in american bathrooms . it was clean , bright and sanitary . but in 1926 , color made its first appearance in bathroom fixtures from standard sanitary . suddenly style entered the bathroom with a new attitude that made it an integral part of home décor .
3 . 3 1890s the growth of the modern bathroom alongside standard manufacturing , two companies producing enameled sanitary products were growing steadily . the first was dawes & myler manufacturing which was founded by ex - standard manufacturing staff , edward l . dawes and william a . myler . the other was ahrens & ott manufacturing , set up by theodore ahrens and henry l . ott . in 1899 , all three companies merged to form standard sanitary that led the expansion of the bathroom market and made modern bathrooms accessible to all .
12 . 12 1970s turbulent times by 1971 , american standard sales reached $ 1 . 4 billion with 70 , 000 employees . despite a turbulent economy that led to a decade of controlled growth and expansion , the company grew worldwide . by 1979 , it was operating in more than 20 countries and claimed the title as the world’s largest plumbing manufacturer . refurbished radiator building
15 . 15 1990s we want you to love your bathroom americans turned their attention to creating stylized living spaces that offered a sense of comfort , retreat and relaxation . american standard joined the renaissance by acquiring porcher , a french - based luxury brand and a german - based faucet brand called jado . in addition , new suites and product lines were added to attract style - minded consumers .
2 . 2 1880s the sanitary advantage in 1883 , standard manufacturing perfected a process to coat pulverized enamel onto hot castings to form a smooth , white surface that was easy - to - clean and impervious to water— preventing corrosion and bacteria from forming and multiplying on the sides of metal tubs . john c . reed developed a process he patented to enamel tubs quickly and helped standard sanitary rise as the nation’s plumbing leader .
9 . 9 1950s peacetime boom the housing industry recovered quickly after wwii as affordable housing was required for millions of returning war veterans . the new suburbia was born , and with it the expansion of plumbing products . in 1951 , american standard had moved into the kitchen ; introducing steel sinks , steel walls , base and specialty cabinets , automatic dishwashers and electric food waste disposers . popular enameled steel kitchen sink with integrated food disposal system .

people are great to work with here - people work towards the same goal ; have not met anybody who ' s out for # 1 . since the beginning of the year , a lot of new things have been introduced to make it a more fun place to work : flexible work arrangements , massage services on - site , product discounts , treat trucks in the summer . the company ' s expanding and continues to innovate and re - brand .

two in - person interviews , they paid for the cost of one of those ( i do not live near their headquarters ) , but not both of them . poor communication , as i thought the second interview was for the job i initially interviewed for , turned out to be a completely different job , which i didn ' t find out until minutes before . so i was totally unprepared . still they offered me a position with the company . pay was fair , benefits were good , but they expected me to shoulder the majority of the financial burden of relocating to their area and were completely difficult to work with in that regard and on the start date . after weeks of negotiating , i gave up , the financial impact of trying to move my family there , sell our house , and pay for housing was just too much to manage . they had zero empathy for my situation and instead sent me a very rude email response back when i asked them to get back to me in three months if the position was still available ( so i could get my house on the market and try to avoid renting while paying a mortgage ) . unnecessarily rude and stubborn . i would avoid this company .
given that i had no idea that i was interviewing for a different position the second time i went there , every question was difficult . i didn ' t have a chance to research the product or the position to be able to answer the questions effectively . 1 answer
