DEAF MUTES WIN SUCCESS
Members of Firm of Gott & Henderson, Chicago
Music Publishers, Succeeding in Their Chosen
Field Despite Big Physical Handicaps
CHICAGO, I I I . , May 9.—-The increasing number
of people familiar with the very excellent music
and lyric of "When I Dream That Auld Erin
Is Free" will be both interested and surprised to
know that members of the firm publishing the
song, Gott & Henderson, are deaf mutes. Both
of these men are fine fellows and thoroughly
alive to the great world of affairs around them
and evidence an inimitable spirit both in what
they have accomplished and what they are plan-
ning to do.

ried mail on snowshoes in the Needle Mountains Dream That Auld Erin Is Free" was written by
Leo Friedman, well-known composer of "Meet
Me To-night in Dreamland." It was soon
brought to the attention of John McCormack
and the famous Irish tenor included it in his
repertoire.
Mr. Gott, who is the business manager of
Gott & Henderson, is also an exceedingly in-
teresting character. He was born in Fond du
Lac, Wis., in 1882 and lost his hearing as a re-
sult of an attack of spinal meningitis when he
was nine years old. He came to Chicago when
a boy and attended the School for the Deaf and
afterwards the Illinois Institution. He started
boxing when he was eighteen years old and for
a while followed the profession, being known in
sporting circles as "Dummy Gott." During his
fighting career he was known as one of the
gamest men in the middle-weight class. He has
the reputation of having never suffered a knock-
out. In 1910 he started in the selling game and
"built up a mail-order business of his own. His
methods of selling, while effective, have of neces-
sity differed from that of the ordinary sales-
man, for a steel pencil, a writing pad and an
alert brain constitute his tools of trade.
