{"1899":"Joel Moses (Yoel Moshe) Salomon (1838 - 1912) was one of the people who succeeded in breaking the printing monopoly held by Yisrael Bak since 1841. In 1863 he, with partners Yechiel Brill and Michel Hacohen, opened a printing shop, but it closed the following year. After printing some items in Alexandria, Egypt, Salomon returned to Jerusalem and published along with his father-in-law Avraham Rothenberg from 1866 to 1868. In that year he received his own permission to establish a printing house in Jerusalem which continued during his lifetime and afterwards by his descendants until the last half of the 20th century under different names: Yoel Moshe Salomon (1868 \u2013 1890), Salomon Brothers (1890 \u2013 ca1920), and Defus Salomon (1920 - )."}
