A&M that fall, but they all knew
Holik’s and not Victor s.
“I sat there in my little shop and
watched boys walking by with a pair
of shoes or two pair of boots, going to
Holik’s,” he says, describing his first
day of business.
“All that money walking by. So I
got outside and started hollering
‘come on in here. I need your
money!’ Within two to three days I
was making two to three dollars a
day,” he said, proudly.
Those first customers, especially
members of A&M’s Corps of Cadets,
kept coming to Victor and brought
their friends. In 1970 he moved his
shop across the street, to his store at
201 College Main. Business got bet
ter. He started selling boots, selling
more than he was repairing. Last
year he opened his second store, on
Texas Avenue, selling Just Boots.
This year he plans to branch out,
going back into the restaurant busi
ness. By midsummer he hopes to
have the world’s first “Senor Vic
tor’s” fried chicken shop alongside
his shop on College Main.
Prosperity has its eosts. His two
stores, business trips and plans for
his restaurant take more of his time.
The work doesn’t bother him,
though.
“I get my kicks from working, ” he
says with a grin. “My only sport is my
cash register. I work eight days a
week.”
He does admit to “slowing down”
to working only 16 hours a day in
stead of the 20 he worked when he
first came here. He thinks most
people relax too much.

Has hard work been the secret to
his success?
“I attribute it to being honest and
sincere with people in all ways and
standing behind the guarantee you
offer,” he says. The tone in his voice
leaves no doubt that he means it.
But he does feel he’s neglecting
his customers, especially A&M stu
dents, by being away from his little
repair shop more.
“Sometimes, since I’ve become
more successful, I miss the close as
sociation with those boys. Many
would ask me about things they
should’ve asked their parents. But
I’d try to give them advice, some
times have lunch with them.
Then a sad look comes into his
eyes and he recalls a time he wasn’t
close enough.
“One day in 1969 a boy came in
very depressed. But I was very busy
that day and didn’t have time to talk
to him. The next day news came
around to me that he’d hanged him
self.”
He blames most parents for ne
glecting their kids, not guiding them
enough or being close enough to
them. He’s determined that won’t
happen with his two sons, now 17
and 15. They sell boots for him when
they’re not in school.
He leaves no doubt about their
futures, either.
“In my home I set rules that are
not questioned,” he says simply-
He says the proudest day of his life
came last April when he became a
U S. citizen. He waited 15 years
longer than he had to for that day.
Why?
“All the years I was waiting, I
didn t feel I was yet good enough to
become a citizen,” he says slowly
and carefully. “I didn’t want to be a
liability to this country. I wanted to
be an asset.”
As a businessman, he has a special
goal.
I think there are not enough mil
lionaires in Bryan-College Station. I
want to add one more.”
executive session today to act on the
confirmation.
The suit filed against Briscoe by
Frances Farenthold contended the
governor illegally raised campaign
funds. It was settled out of court,
but terms of the settlement were
secret.
