Pot Pourri

1. From 1902 to 1909, he was working six days a week and eight hours a day at a Swiss patent office and doing research-he called it his mischief-in his spare time. But he was nourished by music. It was at the core of his creative life, and Mozart and the violin at the

2. Henning was educated at the University of Copenhagen. He came to India in 1937. In 1938, he set up this company in partnership with his former schoolmate Soren. This company went on to become one of the most successful Indian companies. After retirement,

he served as the chairman emeritus of the company. He used to call India his "adopted homeland" and divided his time between Denmark and India.

4. Shojiro Ishibashi was born in 1885 in Japan. When he came of age, Ishibashi entered the family business, making tabi, traditional Japanese footwear.

But in 1928, he began producing a totally different product than what his family earlier did. He was the first Japanese manufacturer to do so. Ishibashi's goal was to sell his products overseas to British and American consumers.

He felt he would need an English name for his company. Ishibashi means "____ ___" in English. As a tip of the hat to fellow manufacturer Harvey Firestone, Ishibashi reversed the words, and named his company.
