Description |
Keller & Bright, was a partnership between John B. Keller (b. ca. 1818) and William S. Bright, M.D. (b. ca. 1816), stationers
and lithographers active from 1856 to about 1858 at 38 South Fourth Street. Residents together with their families in Spring
Garden Ward 3 by 1850, their business partnership began ca. 1852 at the book selling and publishing establishment of William
L. Keller (S.E. corner of 8th and Race streets). In 1853, Keller & Bright began to be listed as druggists in the city directory,
and by 1856, the partnership relocated to the southwest corner of Fourth and Chestnut Streets (38 South Fourth Street) as
"stationers, lithographers, &c."

Keller & Bright dissolved before 1859, when a city directory lists Keller as a looking glass manufacturer at 38 South Fourth
Street. By 1864, Keller worked as a gilt frame maker and gilder at 31 South Fourth Street and in 1869 as a grocer at 501 South
Third Street. Keller presumably died around 1869; the last year he was listed in city directories. His wife Fanny D. was listed
as a widow in the 1871 city directory.
