INDUSTRIAL DIRECTORY OF NEW JERSEY.
Fine iron bridges connect it with Morrisville and the fertile farm lands of Bucks county, Pennsylvania. Covering an apex in the Delaware River, it has a widely extended water front upon that stream.
There is an excellent sewerage system, good water-supply owned by the public, a paid fire department and efficient police protection, electric and gas lighting, trolley roads running to all parts of the city, numerous local and long-distance telephone stations, well-paved streets, and all other conveniences of a large modern city.
There are forty-eight churches, embracing every religious denomination. The public schools include a high school and twenty subordinate schools, besides which the State Model and Normal Schools, with upwards of 1,000 . pupils, is located here. In addition to these there are three business colleges, seven parochial schools, and more than a dozen private schools.
An active and energetic Board of Trade looks after the business interests of the city, and there are many Building and Loan Associations that places the acquisition of homes within reach of workingmen.
Trenton is pre-eminently a manufacturing city. Thirty-six potteries, among them some of the largest in the country, make all classes of ware, from common drain pipe to the finest china. Tile manufactories and many brick yards, the products of which are the finest in their line, are also here. Iron and steel works, woolen mills, rubber and oilcloth factories, and large breweries, each employing hundreds and in some cases thousands of skilled workmen at good wages, are other representative industries. Here also are located the great iron works of the world-famous Roeblings, builders of the bridge between Brooklyn and New York.
Trenton is famous for the liberal encouragement its Board of Trade ex- tends to new industries seeking a location within the city limits. Factory sites of any size in choice positions, with every possible advantage of proximity to the railroads. are offered at merely nominal prices, and in case of par- ticularly desirable industries financial assistance is given in the form of sub- scriptions to capital stock.
The facilities for transportation are not surpassed elsewhere in the entire country. Rents and costs of living are very low, as are also taxes, for the reason that probably no municipal government in New Jersey is more economically administered than is that of Trenton.
The labor force includes the most skilled mechanics in every line of industry, and is singularly free from the influences that disturb workmen in some other large centers of manufacturing industry.
