Joseph Frank Bott, one of the company directors and shown in the photograph at right below, formed a partnership with his brother William to run a billiard hall located opposite the State House. Both brothers came to Columbus from Zanesville, OH, children of Magdelena and Casper Bott. The Botts were originally from Bavaria in Germany.

J F Bott sold his interest in the manufacturing company in 1908 but remained as director of the Bott & Cannon Co.
