the name of any one or more of the general partners, and with
or without the addition of the word Co. or company, as the
parties may determine; and in any action or suit to be brought
on any contract or engagement of the partnership, or to enforce
any liability of the same, the general partner whose name is used

such interest, any profits shall remain to be divided, he may also
receive his portion of such profits.

necessary to make good his share of capital, with interest.
