520    Wedgwood has been one of the most recognizable brand names
       in the world for more than two hundred years--the epitome 
       of quality and luxury--and is also the Enlightenment's 
       most remarkable success story. Born into a poor family of 
       potters, Josiah Wedgwood amassed a fortune that would 
       today make him a billionaire, and created a multinational 
       corporate empire. He combined rationality with bold 
       experimentation, revolutionizing the business model of his
       time with a series of innovations: organizing skilled 
       labor in one of the world's earliest factories; 
       encouraging employee loyalty by offering long-term 
       contracts that included health insurance and pension 
       plans; and changing the very notion of shopping by 
       utilizing showrooms and traveling salesmen.
