  • Stephen Foster:
    • In 1828, Stephen Foster, in company with Col. J. Langdon, of Montpelier, Vt., built a store upon the site of that now occupied by the Spalding Brothers. They continued the business until 1833, wheb Col. Langdon withdrew, and Levi Spalding came in. In 1844, Mr. Foster withdrew, and since that time the business has been in the hands of the Spalding family. It may be mentioned here that Mr. Foster was the first merchant in the Eastern Townships that abandoned the sale of distilled spirits. (p. 34)

    • Au sujet de Levi Spalding : Fils d'un soldat de la Révolution américaine du Massachusetts, Spalding devient commis dans un commerce de Montpelier dès l'âge de seize ans. Stephen Foster ouvre un commerce à Rock Island en 1830, avec son partenaire Col. Langdon. Ce dernier se retire en 1833 et le commerce se perpétue sous le partenariat de Spalding et Foster (Levi Spalding y travaillait déjà depuis 1830 en tant qu'employé). Foster se retire en 1844, et Levi Spalding conserve le commerce jusqu’en 1859, au moment où il le vend à son fils William Spalding.
