The partnership of James E. Caldwell & Co., the extensive retail jewelers on Chestnut street, above Ninth, expired on March 31 by limitation. Steps were immediately taken to re-form the co-partnership, which will run for three years from March 31 last. The members of the new firm are the same as of the old, as follows: J. Albert Caldwell, Joseph H. Brazier, Hugh B. Houston, Fred’k Shaw, R. Nelson Caldwell and James Riley, general partners, with the estate of James E. Caldwell, deceased, as special partner, represented by Sarah C. Caldwell, J. Albert Caldwell and Richard A. Lewis, the executors. The interest of Mr. J. H. A. Davidson in the business of the house is continued under the new arrangement. It is evident that the affairs of the previous partnership were in a very satisfactory condition, as the business of the house has been continuously large for years. The articles of the new partnership set forth that the general nature of the business intended to be transacted is the manufacture, importation and sale of watches, jewelry, silverware, diamonds and fancy goods generally.
