With some of the money Edison started his own company in 1868. Next he invented a stock ticker(证券报价机). This was a machine that recorded the price of stocks (股票) in New York. The Western Union paid Edison $ 40,000 for this invention.

Edison used the money to open a shop in Newark in the state of New Jersey. There he met a young woman, Mary Stiwell. Edison and Mary got married on Christmas Day in 1871. They had three children. In 1875, with his wife and young

family, Edison moved to Menlo Park in the same state. There he built his own laboratory. In the laboratory were tables, science books, instruments and bottles of chemicals.
