Following this, he returned to Philadelphia in xxxx with the help of Thomas Denham, a merchant who employed Franklin as clerk, shopkeeper, and bookkeeper in his business.[11] In xxxx, Benjamin Franklin, then 21, created the Junto, a group of "like minded aspiring artisans and tradesmen who hoped to improve themselves while they improved their community." The Junto was a discussion group for issues of the day; it subsequently gave rise to many organizations in Philadelphia. Reading was a great pastime of the Junto, but books were rare and expensive.

Over time, his commentary, and his adroit cultivation of a positive image as an industrious and intellectual young man, earned him a great deal of social respect. But even after Franklin had achieved fame as a scientist and statesman, he habitually signed his letters with the unpretentious 'B. Franklin, Printer.'[11] In xxxx, Ben Franklin published the first German language newspaper in America - the Philadelphische Zeitung - although it failed after only one year, because four other newly founded German papers quickly dominated the newspaper market.[12] In xxxx, Franklin was initiated into the local Masonic Lodge.
