Goetting Advertisement from the 29 November, 1905 issue of
The Fitchburg Sentinel (Fitchburg, Massachusetts)

The perfume company known as "Goetting & Company" or "Goetting & Co." was acquired by David H. McConnell some time in 1896 in order to secure the services of the chief chemist and owner, Adolph Goetting. The details of the of company acquisition, compensation provided to Mr. Goetting, and the disposition of the Goetting & Co. stock and materials all remain somewhat of a  mystery. However, the above advertisement found in the 29 November edition of The Fitchburg Sentinel is the seventh in a series of ten and sports an address of 126 Chambers Street, New York. Clearly, Mr. McConnell continued to manufacture and sell the Goetting's products through drug and retail stores while continuing to build the California Perfume Company business. Advertisements for Goetting's perfumes can be found in papers from 1905 through 1907, however the date associated with Mr. McConnell's discontinuance of the Goetting's sales, focusing on the CPC alone, has not been determined.
