I’d appreciate any suggestions you guys have on where to order a chuck key that fits this old drill press.

You could take the chuck to the local second hand store and trial and fit for one. Do you have a "ReStore" in MJ? The one here (Victoria) always has a fair selection of chuck keys. Can you lookup the correct key using the size/make/model of chuck?
 
When I needed a chuck key for a drill chuck on my lathe I found one at Great Western Saw in Regina. Would certainly help if you could remove the chuck to check it at the store.
 
I caved and bought a couple multi-sets from kbc tools. Two different keys pretty much work in any chuck I own

Now…. If only I could find them

My keys go right back into the jaws hand tight...My Dad was the worse for packing away the chuck keys from the drill press. I saw this way keeping the key and chuck together and I was sold!
