When his father started B. G. in 1901, said Goodman, his object was to satisfy "the smallest possible segment of the American population.

Revson pays attention to the smallest details, often spends weeks working out the right name or the exact shade for a new lipstick or nail enamel, personally selects models and approves their clothing.
