To Charles Clark, success meant finding ways to serve his family, community, and country. He is best remembered as a founder of the consumer products corporation, Kimberly-Clark, but his work in Neenah, Wisconsin, dates back to the 1850s when he worked in a furniture factory to help support his family while also going to school. His hard work and perseverance inspired others to continue his work even after his death.
