GM started during the 1908 recession.

Founder Billy Durant had made a fortune making horse carriages.

There were 253 U.S. automakers.

Durant wanted one company with lots of brands.

Buick was the first (he worried it might be pronounced “Boo-ick.”)

Kraft started during a recession in 1903.

James Kraft rented a wagon with a horse named Paddy.

He sold cheese to local grocers, who liked the convenience.

But it was hard to keep fresh.

He spent years working on a process for sterilizing cheese…

…hence, processed cheese. pic.twitter.com/L567bHJpNM

Goldman Sachs was founded during the recession in 1869.

It was a one room office.

A German immigrant, he worked as a shopkeeper before loaning money to local merchants…

…and eventually building a massive commercial paper business. pic.twitter.com/oWsfGWz6VZ
