Story of Ludwig Karl Gnädinger in Montreal, Canada
http://www.gnaedinger-ramsen.ch/ahnenforschung/wahlwies/wahlwies_sprachen/genealogy_montreal_story_ludwig.htm
In the employment of Greene & Sons, there was another German named Emanuel Haeusgen, who was their bookkeeper, so he and Ludwig started in the fur business on the year 1852 under the name of Haeusgen & Gnaedinger, at No. 39 St. Peter Street and later a retail store on Notre Dame Street.

The token was made after 1878, when after the death of the partner Mr. Haeusgen the company became known as "L. Gnaedinger, Son & C°".
