The Disney brothers from left: Roy and Walt 

After Walt Disney produced his short film "Alice’s Wonderland" in Kansas City, he 
entered into an agreement with New York Distributor, M.J. Winkler to release a 
series of "Alice Comedies" based on the films title character. That agreement on 
October 16, 1923 became the official founding date of the Walt Disney Company, 
known then as the “Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio”, with brothers Walt and Roy  
Disney, as equal partners. Today, Walt Disney Motion Pictures Group is one of 
the largest and best-known studios in Hollywood. 

The original Walt Disney Studio was located in the rear of
a small office occupied by a reality company in Los Angeles

    William Wrigley Jr.  (September 30, 1861–January 26, 1932)        

Wrigley was a salesman and industrialist. Because his father was a soap
manufacturer, Wrigley started his own business in 1891, Wm. Wrigley Jr.
Company in Chicago selling Wrigley’s Scouring Soap. In 1892 Wrigley
got the idea of offering two packages of chewing gum with each can of
baking powder. The idea was such a huge success that and since the
chewing gum industry was relatively undeveloped, he began marketing
chewing gum under his own name. His first two brands were called Lotta
and Vassar. Juicy Fruit and Wrigley’s Spearmint gum were introduced
next in 1893. Wrigley was also owner of the Chicago Cubs baseball
team. The Cub’s ballpark (Wrigley Field) was named after the former
owner.
