Around the time of the first industrial revolution Molly, of Molly&s;s Flour, stopped selling flour direct to the people in her village.
She wanted to sell to more people than would stop by the back of her farm kitchen, so she packaged her flour up, and sent it around the county in tins by train.
And just like that we saw the first industrial trust problem emerge.
Up until that point, everyone in the village knew Molly personally, so they could be confident her flour was good, pure and untainted.
Now it was going Yorkshire-wide, in tins with an engraving of a windmill and sitting on a shelf in a Manchester grocery store. But would the grocers tamper with it and mix it with cheaper substitutes like sawdust and talcum powder? Such actions bedevilled Victorian products and tinctures.

Now, here's a closer look at today's Money Morning insight, the most important market events, and stocks to watch.
The Top Stock Market Stories for Tuesday Despite some progress in trade talks between the United States and China, China warned its citizens about trouble ahead for its economy. This morning, the Chinese government predicted the nation's economy would grow between a rate of 6% and 6.5% in the year ahead. This figure would represent a slowdown from last year's expansion rate of 6.6% and would be the lowest growth total in 30 years. Ongoing tensions between the United States and China have cooled in recent weeks. U.S. President Donald Trump said that the two nations are "very, very close" to a deal and a "signing summit." Health insurance companies are under pressure after the U.S. House of Representatives unveiled a "Medicare for all" bill. Although the bill has very little chance of passing in the current session of Congress, investors are unnerved about the growing desire in Washington to shift to a single-payer model. Although there might be an opportunity for companies like Cigna Corp. (NYSE: CI) and UnitedHealth Group Inc. (NYSE: UNH) to rebound, don't expect the gains to last long. Many analysts feel that health insurance stocks are ripe for a sharp downturn when Democratic nominees for president begin debating their healthcare positions in the fall. Shares of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA) are falling again in pre-market hours. The latest bad news came after the company received another downgrade – this one from Barclays Plc. (NYSE: BCS). The British bank slashed its price target from $210 to $192 per share and said that the company has undermined its own narrative around the Model 3. "With lower margins not likely to be offset by increased volumes and cost saves, we cut our PT to $192 and remain underweight…" the bank wrote. The price target of $192 represents downside of 32.7% from Tuesday's closing price. Money Morning Insight o - [By ]
