In the history of enterprise, Elizabeth Arden is one of the names that keeps returning.

Elizabeth Arden was born at Woodbridge in 1881. Her recorded nationality is United States.
Around the turn of the twentieth century the corporation became the dominant economic form, along with the antitrust politics that followed it.
She worked as businessperson, cosmetologist and entrepreneur.
Her recorded holdings include Maine Chance Farm.
Business reputations are unusually sensitive to the decade in which they were made.
Recognition followed: Knight of the Legion of Honour (1962).
That the business was built from United States shaped it: capital, regulation and market size differ by country, and they decide what is even attemptable.
