WALTER NEEDHAM
Hill Street, later, Paragon Works, 37, Vyse Street, Birmingham
Walter Needham - Birmingham - 1907
Mr. Walter Needham, jeweller, of Hill Street, Birmingham, has a very fine display of opal goods which he is now making a special feature of his business. Opals are, undoubtedly, becoming very fashionable, and this season Mr. Needham has had a remarkable run in all descriptions of articles studded with this class of brilliants. A large trade is particularly being done in rings and bracelets, chiefly of 15-carat gold, though demand usually subsides immediately after Christmas. A new catalogue has just been issued by the firm of which 10,000 copies have been printed and circulated. This catalogue contains a list of the rings, &c., in different designs. Most of them are gems set in gold in handsome designs, richly embellished. A great deal of skill has also been lavished on the designs of bracelets, which have been made in all sorts of attractive shapes and forms to suit the taste of everyone. Sapphires, rubies, and diamonds have been freely used in the manufacture of rings and bracelets.

JEWELLERS SHOP ROBBED
Three burglars raided the shop of Mr. S. Child, jeweller, Birmingham, on Tuesday, and ransacked the premises. A policeman saw their heads through a skylight, and after an exciting chase he captured two. The third man escaped by jumping through a bedroom window. The pockets of one contained 70 gold watches and rings, and the other's socks concealed gold chains and watches. The property recovered was valued at £400. The third man carried away £300 worth. During the chase a constable was injured by falling through a glass roof. The two men were remanded by the magistrates.

His liabilities are around $15,000 and his assets less than $100. The gem dealer attributes his failure to lack of success in his action against the underwriters and to bad trade. The value of his stolen jewelry was $55,000.

The factoring business of Messrs. Evans and Brown, of Northampton Street, one of the oldest established in Birmingham, is passing entirely into fresh hands. Mr. William Brown, the surviving partner, is relinquishing the jewelry trade altogether, and has sold his business to three well-known Birmingham men. It will be practically a new firm under the old name. I wish every success to the new combination. They are all three men whom I know and esteem.

This business appears to have its origins with the firm of Edward Brown of 64, Northampton Street, Birmingham.
