From 1915 Granite Monthly, The Business Section of Concord, p. 253: "Probably the oldest jewelry store in the city is the N. C. Nelson Company, which was started by the late N. C. Nelson forty-three years ago, in a small room in State Block. The location of the store was soon changed to the Wm. B. Durgin Block and in 1887, after Charles H. Sinclair was made of member of the firm of N. C. Nelson Company, new headquarters were taken for a short time on School Street, the business soon outgrowing them, which necessitated their removal to the present location at 25 North Main Street. Since the death of Mr. Nelson, in 1909, the firm has been owned and managed by Charles H. Sinclair, who was born in Concord in 1859 and educated in the public schools. Previous to his entering the jewelry business, Mr. Sinclair had been in the employ of the Wm. B. Durgin Company for seven years...."
