Next door to the law office, a trading post since 1913.

Billy Keeler also runs Richardson's Trading Co., his family's business on Historic Highway 66, one door down from Keeler & Keeler. It is on the National Register of Historic Places, and it is where Navajo weavers, silversmiths, and families from across the reservation have traded for more than a century. That is the community this firm comes from and answers to.
