Henry Morgan (November 14, 1819 – December 12, 1893) was a Scots-Quebecer department store pioneer in Canada who founded Henry Morgan & Company. Early life Henry Morgan was born into a family of humble circumstances in Saline at the time an isolated village six miles (10 km) northwest of the royal burgh of Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland. He received the basic education then available before taking a job with a wholesale dry goods firm in the city of Glasgow. Career In 1844, after gaining sound knowledge of the textile business and having saved a small amount of money from ten years of hard work, and obtaining a loan from his brother-in-law John Davie, an ambitious Henry Morgan decided to emigrate. Encouraged by David Smith, a fellow Scot in Montreal, Quebec, Morgan believed a better life existed in Canada than in a Scotland faced with "the Clearances", and he planned to put his training to good use and open a business there. Immediately upon arrival in Montreal, Morgan j ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
