Alexander Turney Stewart (October 12, 1803 – April 10, 1876) was an American entrepreneur who moved to New York and made his multimillion-dollar fortune in the most extensive and lucrative dry goods store in the world. Stewart was born in Lisburn, Ulster, Ireland, and abandoned his original aspirations of becoming a Presbyterian minister to go to New York City in 1823. He spent a short time teaching before returning to Ireland to receive the money his grandfather had left him, purchase some Belfast linens and laces, and return to New York to open a store.

  • Alexander Turney STEWART (12-an de oktobro 1803, Lisburn, Irlando – 10-an de aprilo 1876) estis irland-devena usonano, kreinto de la unua vendeja magazinego en Usono. Stewart elmigris en Usonon en aĝo de 15 jaroj, kie li instruis antikvan histoorion en privata lernejo. Li kelkfoje hejmenvizitis, de kie li kunportis punton kaj merceron. Li baldaŭ rimarkis, ke tio pli profitdona ol la instruado. Li malfermis en 1823 magazenon en la Broadway, kiu atentokaptiĝis ĉar Stewart estis treege atentema al la aĉetantoj. Lia baza principo estis, ke oni devas kapti ĉiun aĉetanton. Dumtempe li estis tre malatentema al la dungitoj. (eo)
