The story

Henry Budd and Archibald Bartram (22 March 1774 – 1808), known as "Budd and Bartram" or "Budd & Bartram", started their printing partnership as early as 1794 to 1803.

They printed much work for Thomas Dobson, At The Stone House, No.41, South Second Street, Philadelphia. Budd and Bartram printers were located at 58 N. Second St.

In 1802, John Reynolds "the Printer" (Born 1787 - Died 1853) was an orphaned apprentice in Philadelphia, working for the printer Archibald Bartram, a relative of the Quaker printer Isaac Collins. Later Reynolds, printed and published the Lancaster Journal newspaper for 14 years, beginning in 1820. This newspaper evolved into today's Intelligencer Journal.
