- Business Magnate. He was one of the fathers of the chain-retail business. His company, the E.P. Charlton & Co. 5 & 10 stores, started as a single store located in Fall River, Massachusetts. Before long there were 53 stores located all over the United States and Canada.
Eventually his company merged with another large retail chain and he became the co-founder of F.W. Woolworth Company.
His personal fortune at the time of his death has been valued at approximately $32 million dollars and his philanthropic legacy continues in the local community with a local Hospital and Business College dedicated in his name.
