Johnson & Johnson started with just 14 employees but, by the end of 1894, the Company employed 400, and manufacturing and office space occupied 14 buildings.  This photograph shows early employees of Johnson & Johnson in New Brunswick, New Jersey.  Many of the Company’s early employees were of Hungarian descent, since New Brunswick had one of the largest Hungarian populations in the country at the time.
