Born in 1953, I am based in San Diego. My wares are under the sink, in the garage, and in toolboxes. It took 40 tries to develop my flagship product (which shares my name) as a water displacement formula. My Web site lists more than 2,000 uses for it, such as dissolving toupee tape residue, keeping pigeons off balconies, and removing a python from a bus. My other brands include 3-IN-ONE Oil, Lava, X-14 and Solvol cleaners, 2000 Flushes, Carpet Fresh and Spot Shot. My new Smart Straw feature can help you avoid losing that little red straw. Who

Founded in 1869 in New York by a German immigrant and his son-in-law, I became one of America's largest private companies. I went public in 1999. As an investment bank, I have helped companies raise money via debt and equity stock and have taken public firms such as Sears Holdings Corp., Merck & Co. Inc. and Ford Motor Co. I am one of the most sought-after employers by M.B.A. graduates. My 2007 revenue totaled about $46 billion, nearly double 2005 levels. My assets under management total nearly $900 billion. Who am I?
