He resided with his family at U'4 X. Lafayette t. Mr. (Joetz was taken to Hot Spring more than 10 weeks ago. His condl- ' tion then was such that attending phy sicians had practically abandoned hope. Mrs. Goetz joined him there ami remained with him for many weeks but the climatic conditions there imi paired her health and she was compelled to return to South Bend a few I weeks ago. j I Philip Goetz has been at his father's 1 i bedside nearly all of tho time.

He looked around Home for a few davs seeking a job in his line, cigar making. But he could find nothing. So one night ho packed up his few belongings, stole out to a railroad yard and hopped into a box car of the hrst outbound freight that traveled west. Tie stuck to his box car until he hit South Bene', where several of his Borne friends had preceded him. When he got off in the I-ike Shore yards Charles Goetz hail little more in this world than the suit of clothes on his hack. But he had a pair of nimble hands and a strong will. And in a few short years he was "making good." It was in FsSl that he first stepped into South Bend. He was in the city only a lew days when he got his first iol as a cigar maker. And he kept it for four oars. At the end of that time he had accumulated enough in sawngs to purchase the little cigar factory of Phinus Solomon situated where the Wheelock store is today. In a few years his business row to j-trger proportions and he moved into new charters, occupinw the rooms on F. Washington st . over w hat is now the Renfranz tailoring establishment. Success continued to follow him and his establishment .main outgrew its quarters. Mr. Goetz then p-irchased the property at .".0 7 W. Jefferson st. where hic establishment is located today.
