HistoryThe Colville Chamber of Commerce was established in 1910. Louis G. Keller (1881-1966) who arrived in Colville in 1907 was the first President of the Colville Chamber of Commerce. With the backing of his wealthy Ohio father, he went into the hardware business. Keller Hardware was housed in the distinguished Rickey Building on Main Street. In 1944 he sold the business to Barman's Department Store. His wife was the widow of J. Harry Young (1854-1914), an early Colville banker and newspaper man who had made a fortune in mining and real estate.
