Businessman. Son of William Procter, co-founder of Procter and Gamble. Harley designed a groove so that a bar of Ivory soap could be broken in two. He perpetuated a fortunate error in manufacture that made the soap float. He convinced the company to spend more than $10,000 on a national newspaper advertising campaign which was very successful in brand marketing.
