Explanation:

1. After the death of Mr. Boucicaut in 1877, his wife continued running the business and 'Le Bon Marche' opened in 1892. Today, this departmental store is a property of well reputed 'LVMH' Luxury Group.

2. In 1882, Thomas Edison developed and installed the first large power station in the world in New York. However, later, his use of direct current was displaced by the alternating current system developed by the American inventors Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse.

3. Freud was an avid reader who loves literature in German, French, Italian, Spanish, English, Hebrew, Latin and Greek. He read William Shakespeare in English throughout his life, suggesting that much of his knowledge of human psychology may have been derived from the works of Shakespeare.

4. Frederick Law Olmsted was born in Hartford, Connecticut, on April 26, 1822. Although he never attended college, he became a very educated man. He did not enroll in college because of a weakness in his eyes, but he attended lectures at Yale University intermittently and became an honorary member of the class of 1847.

5. Emmeline Goulden, her maiden name, was born on July 15, 1858 in Manchester into a family with rather modern ideas in those years. His father, Robert Goulden, was a businessman involved in the political life of his country defending the civil rights of men and women. His mother, Sophia Crane, descended from a family with a long tradition of defending women's rights.

6. Louis Pasteur was an average student in his early years, but was gifted for drawing and painting. His cakes and portraits of his parents and friends, made when he was 15 years old, are preserved in the Museum of the Pasteur Institute in Paris.

7.  Until the age of sixteen, Elizabeth Stanton studied at the Johnstown Academy where she learned math, science, literature and several languages. At school she was an outstanding student who fought in intellectual duels with other students and received several awards.

8. Sears, Roebuck & Co was the Amazon of its time. The success was reflected when reaching sales for 750,000 dollars in 1893.  In 1906 they became the first retailer in the financial history of the United States to launch their IPO.  That same year they established their headquarters in Chicago, in the Sears Merchandise Building Tower. In 1973 they moved to the Sears Tower, the building that for a long time was considered the tallest in the world.
