Along with his brother Will, the two boys recalled working with their father, J.W. Goslen, in the upstairs of a building on 3rd Street in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and seeing the old wood-fed steam-operated printing press that was used to print commercial work as well as a newspaper. He graduated from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, North Carolina in 1906. Having learned to play a cornet in his early years he and a group of other men attending UNC from Winston-Salem, organized a band which played for various athletic contests. Having been active in the business until he was 92 he died in 1979 at the age of 93.

Uncle Will, as he was known in his later years, and his younger brother J.B. were 15 and 9 when their father J.W. died in 1894. They were too young to operate the business their father had started and it was continued in part by Wachovia Bank and Trust Company until the two boys graduated from UNC. The old steam-operated press was replaced with a modern (at the time) electrified press and a new building was built. The rights to Blum’s Farmer’s and Planter’s Almanac was purchased by the two brothers in 1921 and the Almanac continues today, the 2010 edition being the 182nd.

In 1872 the company was started by J.W. Goslen. After serving as a Captain in the Civil War he returned home and started the company which published a newspaper along with other commercial printing. As the company grew, a new building was needed. Unfortunately, before it was completed J.W. died in 1894. The company, however, has continued as a family business with four generations of Goslens involved.
