ture day he would give me a start in life. In
January, 1866, he told me to select my stock
of goods and start for Galveston, Tex. I left
Cincinnati the latter part of January, '66, and
was selling music and pianos in Texas on Feb-
ruary 17 following, in which business I am still
engaged and expect to be for years to come.
"The memory of A. C. Peters I shall forever
cherish and, when he died in a few months
after I left Cincinnati, I lost my best friend.
"I brought my stock with me to Texas (I
knew no one here), and I presume I am the
only one who brought a complete house such
a distance, having had it built in Cincinnati
before leaving, put up in packages, hand
shingles, nails, etc., in fact, everything com-
plete. All I had to do was to rent a lot and
get a carpenter to put it together. I did not
use the house, however, for my own purposes,
as I was fortunate in being able to prpocure one
after I landed.
"An incident happened on the Mississippi
steamer which I never will forget. It was this:
One of my fellow-passengers asked me the
question: 'Goggan, where are you going?' I
replied, 'To Texas.' He asked, 'What business?'
And I replied, 'Pianos and music' He said:
'Great God man! Take my advice and have the
goods discharged at Memphis, sell them at auc-
tion and take what you can get. Invest the
proceeds in Bowie knives, guns, pistols and am-
munition and you will do business that will pay.
But music, never!"
"I met the same gentleman in Texas after-
wards, and I was happy to inform him that
Texas was not what it was painted to be,—that
we had as good and as refined society in Texas
as could be found anywhere and no man was
molested who attended to his own affairs. I
am an adopted son of Texas and feel ever
grateful to the people of Galveston and the
entire State for the very many acts of kind-
ness shown me while among them, especially
during the early days of 'Reconstruction,' for
then I was a stranger from an 'Abolition City,'
but I was treated with extreme kindness."
The repair and service departments of this
house are looked after by Walter Noble, who
is as proud as a peacock in his little corner.
Not only does that department pay for itself
but it makes money. Everything is done in a
craftsmanship fashion. The customer is always
satisfied. Mr. Logen, the manager, is a "hail
fellow, well met"—always there with a smile
and more often with a good story. I guess
that's the way he gets his customers.
F. A. Brinkmann, whom everyone who knows
him well calls "Brinky," has resigned as the
manager of the sheet music department and is
now a free-lancer through the entire institution.
If Adelina Patti were to appear in San Antonio
to-day, "Brinky" would be the man to see her,
representing the house. That's what he does
for pastime. Aside from that he digs up and
follows up every possible prospect, whether it
is for a Victor talking machine, a Duo-Art, a
Steinway or anything else. If it's musical,

Feist Secures "Barcelona," One of
Biggest of Europe's Present-Day Hits
Only Rival of Number Abroad Is "Valencia"—Gus Kahn Furnishes American Lyrics for American
Publication—Expected to Repeat Its European Success Here
T ON DON, ENGLAND, June 30. — "Barce-
' lona" as a song and as a dance is the
second biggest hit in Europe. Its only rival is
"Valencia." "Barcelona," however, has achieved
success here even more quickly than that at-
tained by "Valencia" in the same space of
time. "Barcelona" is second now but at its
present rapid rate of popularity it will be a
good first in a few short weeks.
Following the initial efforts in popularizing
"Barcelona" the demand required an immediate
60,000 copy run. Immediately after its release
the big railway strike took place. Despite this
over 200,000 copies of "Barcelona" were sold
while the strike was on and while business con-
ditions were in a turmoil. This doubtless estab-
lishes a record that will live for all time.
"Barcelona" is displayed everywhere in music
Brinky will sell it to them. The sheet music
stock of Goggan's is as complete as you will
find it anywhere in the United States of Amer-
ica. Every publication, whether it be classic,
standard, or the latest popular hit, is carried
in liberal quantities, according to demand.
Educational material, the highest type required
by the most expert musician, can be supplied
from Goggan's.
Little Lenore Williams, Brinky's protege, is
looking after the details of the sheet music
and does it well. A very sweet modest type of
little lady, with a receptive mind, and learning
every day.

Leo Feist Publishes
"Merry World' Hit
"I Fell Head Over Heels in Love" Added to
Firm's Catalog—Outstanding Number in Sea-
son's Production
"I Fell Head Over Heels in Love," the hit
song from the Shubert-De Courville revue, "The
Merry World," now playing at the Imperial
Theatre, New York, is published by Leo Feist,
Inc. It is an English song by Donovan Par^
sons and Pat Thayer and was originally pub-
lished by Francis, Day & Hunter, Ltd., of Lon-
don. This number has been taken to readily
by Broadwayites and it certainly is the best
song of the new musical comedy offerings of
this season.
New Roat Number
The Charles E. Roat Music Co., of Battle
Creek, Mich., recently issued a new song "I
establishments. It is generally coupled with
"Valencia." Travelers returning from the Con-
tinent invariably say that "Barcelona" has
taken Europe by storm.
Inquiry at the offices of Leo Feist, Inc., the
large popular publishing house of New York
City, which operates branches in eighteen of
the leading centers throughout the United
States, and in addition covers the country with
numerous representatives, shows that this en-
terprising firm has obtained the American
rights for "Barcelona." It engaged the services
of Gus Kahn, the well known American lyric
writer, to supply American words and he has
succeeded in turning out a set of popular lyrics
that will certainly rank with the best things of
the past of which he has been the author.
Want a Pardon for Daddy." The words and
music are by Charles E. Roat, head of the com-
pany, who is also the writer of "Pal of My
Dreams." Forney W. Clement, manager of the
publication department of the Roat Co., has
arranged an intensive campaign to exploit this
new issue.
Century Series for
the Piano and Saxophone
"Century Saxophone and Piano Music" Bring
Tribute From Paul Whiteman Upon Publica-
tion
The Century Music Publishing Co., publisher
of copyrighted and uncopyrighted standard
music, has added to its publications a series
known as the "Century Saxophone and Piano
Music." This contains piano and three saxo-
phone parts at the regular Century retail price.
The series is endorsed by Paul Whiteman, the
well-known orchestra leader, who in a letter
to the Century Co. recently said:
"I have just received a set of your saxophone
and piano solos and wish to compliment you
highly on the wonderful selection and manner
in which they are gotten out. I sincerely trust
your efforts will be prolific of tremendous sales.
I feel the selections are worthy of great results."
This compilation is of favorite light classic
compositions made into interesting arrange-
ments of medium difficulty and contains parts
for piano E flat, alto, B flat, tenor and C melody
saxophone. All numbers are playable in duets
in any combination.
