Johnsonburg is located in a very attractive part of picturesque Warren county. The climate and general environment is here, as elsewhere in this section of the State, very healthful and entirely free from malaria. The village offers many attractions for residential and industrial purposes, which will be greatly increased when direct railroad connection is established by the cut-off projected by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad, which, it is expected, will be completed inside of two years. The community supports one public school and two churches-Methodist Episcopal and "Christian." Of fraternal organizations there is one lodge of Odd Fellows and one of American Mechanics. The community would welcome a small light industry which would employ female labor. The number available for employment as operatives is reported at five men and ten women.
The soil of the surrounding country is fair, and the crops consist of the usual standard grains and also milk. The land is practically all under cul- tivation, and no farms are reported for sale.
For further particulars, address Clinton Kerr, Elbridge Harden or George Van Horne.

213
INDUSTRIAL DIRECTORY OF NEW JERSEY.
The only industries here at present are a lumber and grist mill and a hay press. The community supports one public school and one church-Meth- odist.
Wheat, rye, corn, oats and potatoes are the principal products of the farm lands surrounding the village.
Junction (F 4), Hunterdon County. (LEBANON AND BETHLEHEM TOWNSHIPS)

A money order post office, telegraph and telephone connections. Express service, United States Com- pany. Tax rate-Bethlehem, $1.04; Lebanon, $1.45.
Junction-the railroad name of which is Hampton Junction-is situated in one of the most healthful and picturesque parts of the State. Directly on the lines of two first-class railroads is in comparatively close communication with the coal and iron deposits of Pennsylvania, and the northern counties of New Jersey.
Railroad service is of the very best character, and the large number of trains, east and west, that stop there furnish ample facilities for passenger and freight traffic. Land for factory sites situated close to one or the other railroad can be purchased at specially low prices. The labor supply is abund- ant and of an intelligent character.
The town has one large public school, in which five teachers are em- ployed, and four churches-Presbyterian, Catholic, Methodist and Baptist. The town has a good water supply, and for fire protection there are numerous hydrants with water under high pressure and an abundant supply of hose.
The townspeople are prepared to offer special inducements to any reliable manufacturing concerns seeking a location.
Jutland (F 4), Hunterdon County. (UNION TOWNSHIP.)
On the Lehigh Valley Railroad; station in center of the village. Popula- tion, 100. Banking town, Clinton, distant three and one-half miles. A money order post office, telegraph and telephone connections. Express service, United States Company. Tax rate, $1.25.
The water supply is drawn from wells and springs. A fine farming coun- try with good soil. In addition to the standard grains, large crops of fine peaches and a wide range of other fruits are grown. Much attention is also given to dairying, and a large creamery is located there.
Jutland is situated in one of the most healthful and attractive sections of Hunterdon county, sixty miles from New York City, and fifteen miles from Phillipsburg and Easton. Natural conditions are quite favorable for a light manufacturing industry, and any quantity of land can be obtained for industrial purposes at very reasonable prices. There would be no diffi- culty whatever in securing the help required for a fair sized industry from the village population and that of the surrounding country.
214
INDUSTRIAL DIRECTORY OF NEW JERSEY.

(RARITAN TOWNSHIP.)
On the Atlantic City and Highlands Branch of the Central Railroad of New Jersey; station in the town. Population, 600. Banking town, Keyport. A money order post office, telegraph and telephone connections. Express service, United States Company. Value of taxable property, $500,000. Tax rate, $0.93.
Keansburg is situated on Raritan Bay, and is a popular summer resort.

There is fine fishing, boating and still water bathing here, together with all other attractions known to the best seaside resorts.
At present there are no manufactories of any kind, although local con- ditions are such that one or more industries of fair size would find here a sufficient supply of labor with all necessary accommodations.
Railroad service is sufficient for all requirements, and freight and tax rates-particularly the latter-are very low. The community supports one public school and one church-Methodist. The soil is good, and garden truck, melons and a wide variety of berries are grown on the surrounding farm lands.

The large and flourishing town of Kearny has a sewer system, water works, electric and gas lighting, paved streets, first-class local and inter-urban trolley service running to all large towns in Hudson, Essex, Bergen, Passaic and Union counties. A sufficient number of public schools, and churches repre- senting almost every religious denomination. Building and loan societies, fraternal organizations, a very efficient fire department and practically all other essential utilities-public, semi-public and private-required for resi- dential and business purposes are found here. The railroad service is ex- cellent, as all the lines centering in Newark are accessible to residents of Kearny, the distance being covered by trolley cars in from five to fifteen minutes.
Kearny has a frontage on the Passaic River, and vessels of fair size find safe accommodation at its wharves. There is thus the very important
215
INDUSTRIAL DIRECTORY OF NEW JERSEY.
advantage of water communication with New York, Jersey City and prac- tically all other sea coast and river municipalities which affords a choice of routes in the shipment of freights.
Kearny is essentially a manufacturing town, and the advantages of its location are shown by the number and size of the industrial establishments now located there. Although in another county, the town is, like Harrison, its near neighbor, for business and commercial purposes, closely identified with Newark, and its inhabitants enjoy in an equal degree with those of the larger city all the advantages found in that great center of industry and trade. Factory sites can be secured in almost any part of the town, and labor, skilled or unskilled, can be found in abundance.
Kearny supports eight public schools and ten churches-Episcopal, Catholic, Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist and others. Fire protection is provided by a well organized volunteer department equipped with the best apparatus, and also a liberal supply of fire hydrants placed in convenient positions throughout the town.
Following is a list of the principal industries now located here :
Bimbler, Van Wagen Company, abbatoir, employ 125 men.
Marshall & Company, thread and yarns, employ 600 men and women.
Nairn Linoleum Company, The, employs 700 men.
Swift & Company, glues, oils and fertilizers, employ 250 men.
Keasbey, Middlesex County. (WOODBRIDGE TOWNSHIP.)
On the Central Railroad of New Jersey, and the Lehigh Valley Railroad; freight stations of both roads in the town; nearest passenger station (Lehigh Valley), distant one-half mile. Population, 900. Banking town, Perth Am- boy, distant three miles. A money order post office, telegraph and telephone connections. Express service, United States Company. Tax rate, $1.92.
Keasbey is situated on the Raritan River, which is navigable by medium sized vessels for miles above the town; there are no sewers; the water sup- ply for factories is derived from artesian wells, and for domestic purposes from wells and cisterns. For fire protection there is one volunteer company, provided with a force pump, and also a bucket brigade. The town is con- nected by a trolley road with Perth Amboy, and cars to and from that place are run on train schedules of the Central Railroad of New Jersey and the Pennsylvania Railroad. The railroad service is good, and facilities for hand- ling freight are all that could be desired.
Upwards of thirty acres of land, with an extended river front and an equally large area directly on the line of the railroad, are for sale at low prices and on very reasonable terms. Factory sites, with superior facilities for handling freight by either land or water, may be selected from either of these tracts. The trolley lines, which pass through the town issue trans- fers which enable passengers to travel anywhere reached by the line of the New Jersey Traction Company.
The river frontage is extensive, and at high tide there is fifteen feet of water at the docks. Ample accommodations in the way of homes or stores.

Kenilworth (G 3), Union County. (KENILWORTH BOROUGH.)
On the Rahway Valley Railroad, which connect with main line of the Cen- tral Railroad of New Jersey at Aldene, and with the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad at Summit; two stations in the borough. Also within a comparatively short distance of the main line of the Lehigh Valley Railroad. Population, 900. Banking town, Cranford. A money order post office, tele- graph and telephone connections. Express service, United States Company. Value of taxable property, $615,070. Tax rate, $1.36.
Kenilworth is the outgrowth of a movement begun years ago to utilize for manufacturing purposes the exceptionally favorable natural conditions of the locality in which it is situated. The town occupies a part of the Orange Valley, not far from Newark, from which city, or from Elizabeth, an abund- ant supply of labor, skilled in many forms of industry, may be obtained.
Kenilworth is distinctively an industrial town, and every possible encour- agement is extended to parties desirous of securing factory sites. Approved industries will be given building plots free of charge, and will also be given financial help if such should be desired. There is an opportunity for the de- velopment of a fine water power, the capacity of which has not yet been de- termined.
Kenilworth has one public school of the eighth grade, and one private in- stitution-Upsala College. The churches, four in number, belong to the Episcopal, Baptist, Swedish Lutherans and the Methodist denominations. Of fraternal organizations there is one lodge of Woodmen of the World and another of the Independent Order of Foresters. The construction of a sewer system is now in contemplation and operations on the installation of a new water supply plant have been already begun. As yet there is no organized fire protection, but that also will, with other improvements, be developed in due time.
The soil is good and much garden truck and potatoes are raised on the outlying farm lands. As well as being a good location for factories, Kenil- worth, because of its healthful environment, is an ideal location for homes.
The foreign immigrants in the town and its vicinity are reported to be 20 Polacks, 2 Hungarians, 30 Russians and 38 Italians.
217

Kenvil (G 3), Morris County. (ROXBURY TOWNSHIP.)
On the High Bridge Branch of the Central Railroad of New Jersey, and the Chester Branch of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad; stations of both lines in the town. Population, 500. Banking town, Dover, distant four miles. A money order post office, telegraph and telephone connections. Express service, United States Company. Tax rate, $1.53.
Kenvil is situated in a beautiful valley surrounded by mountain scenery of the most picturesque character. A more healthful and stimulating climate is not to be found anywhere. The water supply is drawn from driven wells, and is of the purest quality. Cost of living is low, as are also freight rates and taxes. The railroad service is equal to all requirements, there being sev- eral trains per day out and in to the town on both roads.
The town supports one grammar and High School, and two churches- Presbyterian and Methodist Episcopal. There is a Township Improvement Association, the secretary of which is W. D. Jardine. The townspeople are desirous of building up the industrial interests of the place, and a manu- facturing plant to engage in any legitimate line of manufacture would be warmly welcomed. Land for factory purposes will be given free of cost, and other reasonable inducements will be extended to approved concerns. In the case of a particularly desirable industry financial assistance would be given if desired. An ample supply of labor-male or female, may be de- pended upon.
Kenvil is not only a desirable location for manufacturing industry, but it also offers all the attractions of a first-class inland health resort because of the natural scenic beauty and bracing climate of the region in which it is situated. Land for residential purposes can be secured in almost any part of the town, and for factory building there are upwards of seventy-five acres situated on the line of either railroad, or so close that connecting spurs can be readily built.
Excepting the works of the Du Pont Powder Company, which are far enough removed from the town to obviate all danger from accidental com- bustion, there are no industries of any kind now in Kenvil. The soil is good and some profitable farming is done in the vicinity.
The town is on the line of the Morris County Traction Company, and the trip to Dover by trolley requires only 20 minutes.
No farms are reported for sale. The only foreign immigrants in or about the place are 10 Italians.

Keyport (1 5), Monmouth County.
On the Atlantic Highlands Branch of the Central Railroad of New Jersey; station in center of the town. Population, 3,600. A banking town-two banks. Money order post office, telegraph and telephone connections. Ex- press service, United States and Adams Companies. Value of taxable prop- erty, $1,468,198. Tax rate, $0.82.
Keyport is situated on Raritan Bay, and has water communication with New York by the steamboats of the New York and New Jersey Transporta- tion Company, which make daily trips to and from the metropolis all the year round. Railroad service is of the very best, and moderate freight rates are assured by a choice of rail and water routes for shipment.
Keyport has a water plant which furnishes a supply of pure water amply sufficient for all needs. It has also organized fire protection of a very effi- cient kind, well paved streets, school accommodation for all children, un- limited telegraph and local and long distance telephone connections, with an abundance of intelligent and orderly labor, both skilled and unskilled.
Public sentiment is favorable to manufacturing industry, and within the town limits there is at least 100 acres of land available for factory sites. Some of these tracts have frontage on the bay where the water is deep nough to permit large vessels to use the docks for the purpose of taking on or discharging cargo. If wanted for industrial purposes, this land can be bought in plots of any size at particularly low prices. There are some idle factory buildings which can be either leased or purchased outright at reas- onable figures.
There are ten churches in Keyport distributed among the following de- nominations : Catholic, Baptist, Presbyterian, Dutch Reformed, Episcopal and Methodist. Two weekly newspapers are published in the town.
Trolley lines connect Keyport with Red Bank, Matawan, South Amboy, Long Branch and Asbury Park.
The industries now in operation here are:
Ferry, J. E. & S. E., ship and boat building, employ 12 men.
Post, G. E., ship and boat building, employs 15 men.
Tilton & Cherry, wagons and carriages, employ 10 men.
