In 1911, a Virginia entrepreneur moved to Atlantic City, NJ and started selling cosmetics door-to-door and styling hair in her basement. Soon, she would grow her business into an empire.

Madame Sara Spencer Washington continued to expand Apex internationally, doing business in Haiti and South Africa. She acquired millionaire status in the 1940s, taking on roles as a civic leader and philanthropist.
