Richardson for a number of years past. The style of the new firm will be W. C. Richardson & Co. The new members are Mr. W. E. Chapman, who is the oldest in years and in point of service with Mr. Richardson, and has been active manager of the boats operated by the company for more than ten years. The other gentlemen entering the firm at this time, Mr. T. H. Paine. Clarence E. Richardson and John T. Kelly, are all younger men but are especially well versed in the affairs of the company. Capt.
