The firm Schäfer und Koradi was established in July 1851. Schafer und Koradi was located at Fourth and Wood St. from 1852 until 1879, when the firm moved to 314 York Ave. Ernest Karl Schäfer died in 1878. Rudolf Koradi ran the business until his death in 1908, when Walter R. Schäfer took it over. See Robert E. Cazden, Social history of the German book trade in America (1984), page 734, and Philadelphia city directories through 1881. Jedediah Howe was a stereotyper operating in Philadelphia between 1824 and 1833.
