The Newells Was Organized
In Roxboro 50 Years Ago
Has Had Interesting His
tory; Was First Located In
Grocery Window.
A landmark among Roxboro’s
progressive business firms for 50
years, The Newell’s Jewellers,
this month are celebrating their
Golden Anniversary.
Now owned by the brothers,
Newell, W. H. and R. E., the firm
was organized in 1888 by George
A. Newell, grandfather of the
present proprietors, who moved
to Roxboro from Farnkinton, N.
C. The first location was in the
window of the old J. W. Johnson
Grocery store, the site at present
occupied by Sergeant and Clay
ton’a.
After a few years here the
headquarters were moved across
the street to the old First Nation
al Bank building and thence to a
building purchased by the Ne
wells from Dan Andrews on Court
street, the present sitq df the
Feedwell Case, and later to the
building now occupied by Pen
ders, where it remained until the
present building was built in
1907.
Shortly after coming to Rox
boro, W. H. B. Newell, father of
the present owners, took over the
business from his father and
operated it until his death in
June, 1913, when he was succeed
ed in the ownership by Sons B.
B. and W. H. This firm contin
ued intact until the former with
drew in 1924, at which time Bro
ther R. E.entered the partnership.
The firm has always kept a
breast of the times, giving their
customers the best in quality and
service. Ten years ago, the broth
ers added a second story to their
building. Only last year, a com
plete new modern front was ad
ded to their building, making it
one of the most up-to-date in the
city. Their store is always fully
equipped with the best in jewels,
silverware, etc.- The second floor
is fully equipped as a modern
book and stationery department,
which the Newells offer as an
other exclusive service for their
customers.
Both brothers are married,
"Wheeler to the former Miss Paul
ine Thompson of Roxboro, and
Russell to the former Miss Jose
phine Chandler of Semora. The
former is 41 and the latter 37.
The W. H. Newells have four
children and the R. E. Newells
have only one.
