At age sixteen Spalding [1811-1902] "went to Nashua and worked in the general store of Joel Carter and later for Hugh Jameson whose interest he purchased in 1832. Later, with his brother in law John Reed they established the mercantile firm of Reed and Spalding. After many years of being associated with Reed and Spalding, Solomon went to Franklin, New Hampshire. Then he went to Wentworth, New Hampshire with Putnam Spalding and established the firm P and S Spalding. After four years Solomon returned to Nashua and established the Flour and Grain Store on Railroad Square. In 1874 he disposed of all his mercantile assets and retired from business life" [online Find a Grave].
