Music by Charles L. Strieber;
Arranged for Piano-Forte by E. L. Faupel;
Published by the Hauschild Brothers (later Hauschild Music Company), Victoria, Texas;
Printed by J. M. Armstrong Company, Engravers, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; This appears to have been the first piece published by HMC and thus apparently the engraving and printing had been contracted out;

Front Cover; 3 pages of music Numbered as pages 3 thru 5; Rear Cover with Advertising;

As a Photocopy the second (blank) page was not reproduced; My father made this photocopy for reasons unknown; I do not intend to make any photocopies for sale; at this time I DO NOT HAVE any originals for sale;
This is a variant; the original was printed in 1892, the rear cover ad has a nice picture of the "new building" erected in 1893 and a testimonial letter dated at New Orleans, Louisiana on March 30, 1896; I do not know what other variants may have existed;
In Rotary, published in 1922 is believed to be the last item published by HMC (aka Hauschild's) until the 1970's when a few pieces were recycled with new titles; With publication starting in 1891 or 1892, HMC had a long career as a publisher for regional artists of Anglo, German and Mexican Music;
Condition very good; This is a PHOTOCOPY; covers shows some storage wear;
PLUS 2.) BONUS ITEM: Business Card of Henry J. Hauschild; In recognition that the primary item was part of the collection of Henry J. Hauschild Jr., who billed himself as a âPhysiognomist â Bibliopolist â Cognoscente di Eccellentissimoâ, and was the very proud owner of the world famous "Nose Galleryâ at âThe Oldest Houseâ in Victoria, Texas, this business card is included. Henry Senior founded the business which was later owned by his 8 children and eventually the four brothers before being closed in 1980;
"Musicologist and historian, Delmer Rogers, longtime member of the staff of the Department of Music at the University of Texas, is of the opinion that the Hauschild Music Company, founded in Victoria, Texas in 1891, was the second oldest institution to commercially publish sheet music in Texas. (Thos. Goggan of Houston being the first.) Also, his extensive research indicates that Hauschild's was the first in Texas to issue music with Spanish titles. About thirty were published, many by talented writers, and sold in large numbers. In addition, probing seems to prove that Hauschilds was the first to publish the efforts of several of the music-loving Germans of the area. Most interesting, too, is that the spritely composition, the Cowboy Rag offered in 1904 possibly was the purcursor of this genre of popular music." taken from "The Cognoscenti Collections"; NOTE: I find other references to Goggan as being in San Antonio and Galveston, but not Houston until later;
