GOOD WORK: A family history at SC Johnson | Watch Video
Five generations of Johnsons have led this now-$10 billion-a-year company, making it one of the oldest family-owned businesses in America.

They don’t trumpet themselves as a dynasty; they rarely do media interviews; and they’ve never considered allowing the company to be publicly traded.
Lee Cowan goes inside SC Johnson, the company behind Johnson’s Floor Wax, Windex, Drano and many other familiar products.
