Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Data Segment Data

The company's businesses are organized, managed, and internally grouped into segments based on similarities in products and services. Segment selection is based on the manner in which management organizes segments for making operating and investment decisions and assessing performance. The company has determined it has nine operating segments and has aggregated certain of those operating segments into two reportable segments: Professional and Residential. The aggregation of the company's operating segments is based on the operating segments having the following similarities: economic characteristics, types of products and services, types of production processes, type or class of customers, and method of distribution. The company's remaining activities are presented as "Other" due to their insignificance. These Other activities consist of the company's wholly-owned domestic distribution companies, the company's corporate activities, and the elimination of intersegment revenues and expenses.

The following tables present the summarized financial information concerning the company’s reportable segments:
