After they had been in business twelve months, they became, as has been mentioned, the proprietors of Keimer's newspaper; and were appointed printers to the general assembly. These advantages resulted from the management of Franklin, who soon after succeeded in his plan of supplanting Brad- ford in the post office. Before the complete revolution of two years, this part- nership was dissolved, and Franklin came into possession of the whole business, which he conducted with skill and reputation. ...By means of his industry and economy he soon paid his debts, and began to accumulate property. He opened a shop well tilled with stationery, and did some- thing at bookbinding and bookselling. He annually pub- lished Poor RicharcVs Almanack, which became celebrated ; likewise a neat pocket almanac; and in 1741, he com- menced the publication of a magazine, which was con- tinued six months. In 1741, he printed Cicero's Cato Major on old Age, with numerous notes in octavo and Pennsylvania. 235 quarto.
