The credit goes to Edgar P. Smith. That\u2019s the name of the Fortune editor who, more than six decades ago, had an inspired idea: Why not publish a list of the 500 largest industrial companies in the U.S.? And so, in July 1955, the Fortune 500 made its debut, with companies ranked by the size of the previous year\u2019s revenues. The phrase quickly entered the lexicon, and almost overnight the Fortune 500 became the ultimate scorecard for Big Business success in America\u2014and a proxy for tracking our economy\u2019s changes over time.
\nTo highlight that economic evolution, here we present a graphic breakdown of three key years in the list\u2019s history: 1955, the year of its birth; 1995, when the list was expanded to include \u201cservice\u201d companies like retailers; and this year\u2019s list. As you can see, Edgar Smith\u2019s big idea is now bigger than ever.<\/p>\n
