A member of the very first class of Clemson cadets, Isaac Leonard Keller left school after two years and opened Keller\u2019s Store, stocking cadet uniform supplies. Legend has it that he could determine sizes and hems of uniforms without even measuring, and so he was given the nickname \u201cJudge.\u201d In 1918, he moved across the street into a wood-frame building, where the store remained until 1936, when the current brick building was erected.<br \/>\nThe cadet uniforms might be a thing of the past, but within the walls of Judge Keller\u2019s you can find the uniforms of contemporary Clemson students and fans. Stacks and racks of T-shirts and shorts, sweatshirts and hats cover almost every available surface. For years, they offered overalls, dyed orange, for sale.<br \/>\nThe Judge\u2019s grandson and namesake, Isaac Leonard Keller \u201970, runs the store today with the help of his son, Ben. But that doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t see vestiges of earlier generations. Three hats that belonged to Leonard\u2019s dad still hang on the wall. And if you look through the boxes on the shelves, you might still find a nice pair of white leather shoes from the 50s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The red brick store that sits on 307 College Avenue hasn\u2019t changed much in the 78 years since it was built.
