"Ding dong! Your books are here!"

15 companies that originally sold something else.

One surprise for me was Avon. The company that became Avon originally went door to door selling books. To lure female customers they offered little gifts of perfume. The perfume became more popular than the books and Avon was formed.

Good Grief, I would LOVE to have a book originally sold by Avon, maybe it would have a trademark in it or some thing. Maybe Ebay! R
