Everyone who by words spoken or written or by conduct represents themselves, or who knowingly suffers themselves to be represented, as a partner in a particular firm is liable as a partner to any one who has on the faith of any such representation given credit to the firm, whether the representation has or has not been made or communicated to the person so giving credit by or with the knowledge of the apparent partner making the representation or suffering it to be made:
Provided that where after a partner's death the partnership business is continued in the old firm's name, the continued use of that name or of the deceased partner's name as part thereof shall not of itself make that deceased partner's executors or administrators or that deceased partner's estate liable for any partnership debts contracted after that partner's death.
