From 1870 to 1876, Samuel Biddle was in partnership with Jeremiah Robbins and Jedediah P. Clark in Philadelphia as Robbins, Clark & Biddle. Starting in 1878, Samuel Biddle, together with Joseph Trowbridge Bailey and George Washington Banks, established Bailey, Banks & Biddle. At the turn of the century, Bailey Banks & Biddle was commissioned by the U.S. government to update the Great Seal of the United States; its design today remains the official version of the seal.
