Site Vision Statement

Proverbs 29:18 (KJV);
   "Where there is no vision, the people perish..."

Since the inception of the California Perfume Company (CPC) web site in February 2002, my vision has remained resolute: that this humble web site would serve as the veritable encyclopedia of "all things" related to the California Perfume Company and early-Avon (chronicles, people, products, collector's helps, etc.) This is no easy task that can simply be accomplished by one person—it requires help from CPC and Avon collectors, diverse and unique, across this world. Working together, this web site will promote and enhance the hobby of California Perfume Company and early-Avon collecting. More importantly, this web site will stand as a testimonial to the entrepreneurial spirit embodied in Mr. David Hall McConnell, Sr. He clearly left an indelible and enduring mark in the annuals of our proud American history.
