““The law is well settled that where an agent has signed a contract in a personal capacity, that is, executed it in a manner clearly indicating that the liability is his alone, extrinsic proof is not admissible to discharge him from liability upon it. If he personally is, in unambiguous terms, bound to fulfill, he must fulfill.””
