This is a question we are often asked; the answer is we're not sure! We have customers the world over who have their own ideas; our Canadian customers like to think that Chesterfield is a Canadian word although they refer to any sofa as a Chesterfield. We have done a little research and according to Robert Hendrickson in the Encyclopedia of word and phrase origins, the term chesterfield is commonly applied to a sofa in honour of Philip Stanhope, the forth Earl of Chesterfield (1694-1773). However, Hendrickson points out that it is more likely that a latter Earl of Chesterfield invented them, which earl he does not know. At any rate, according to the OED (Oxford English Dictionary), it was used to refer to a couch in 1900.

According to Carver in American Regional Dialects the term appears to have come into use in Canada around 1903 and in Northern California about the same time. The Journal of the Canadian Linguistics Association notes chesterfield seems to be in general use throughout Canada, though the usual American sofa is also known and used . Almost everywhere in the U.S chesterfields are cigaret...

East Chesterfield Christian Church - History
It all started in 1857 when L. L. Carpenter and James Hadsell held meetings in the Maple Grove Schoolhouse, then situated on the northwest corner of the Philip Roos farm in Chesterfield Township. At times the services were held in the barn of the Roos homestead. In the following year, April 1858 the church was organized.
The church at the onset was a strong one. There were 70 charter members. A few of the names were Mr. and Mrs. Philip Roos, George Roos, Mr. and Mrs. Levi Terry, Mrs. Sarah Wait Sheffield and her son Fred.

PARIS—Several European governments extended a ban on short selling of financial shares Thursday, seeking to keep a lid on volatility in European banking stocks amid deep bearishness.

In an apparently coordinated move, France, Italy and Spain announced they were extending bans, while Belgium’s stock market regulator, which had imposed an indefinite ban two weeks ago,said it would lift the short-selling ban only when market conditions allow.

The moves extend restrictions that were put in place on Aug. 12 against investors making certain types of bearish bets, as concerns have swirled about banks’ holdings of troubled government bonds and the weakness in the overall economy. The search for quick fixes underscores attempts by regulators to wield a big stick in the face of what many view as unfettered speculation.

Short-selling, a trading strategy that pays off if stocks tumble, is widely regarded in the investment community and in academia as a legitimate, and even healthy, way for markets to function. Bank stocks in the countries that imposed restrictions have continued to move wildly up and down, although some have showed signs of stability and many gained ground on Thursday in line with a rise in U.S. financial stocks.
