Industrial Directory of New Jersey. 1908


CITIES, TOWNS AND TOWNSHIPS OF NEW JERSEY HAVING A POPULATION OF ONE HUNDRED AND OVER, IN WHICH MANUFACTURING IS CARRIED ON, OR THAT BY REASON OF NATURAL OR OTHER ADVANTAGES ARE SPECIALLY ADAPTED TO THE SUCCESSFUL PROSECUTION OF MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY. THEIR POPULATION, BANKING FACILITIES, RAILROAD AND EXPRESS SERVICE, TAX RATE, ETC., TOGETHER WITH A STATEMENT OF THE ADVANTAGES WHICH ARE OFFERED TO ENCOURAGE THE SETTLEMENT OF MANUFACTUR- ING PLANTS.


Absecon (H 9), Atlantic County.


On the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad; station in the town. Popula- tion, 700. Banking towns, Pleasantville and Atlantic City. Money order post office, telegraph and telephone facilities, express service, Adams Com- pany. Tax rate, $1.58. Total value of all ratables, $300,000.


Absecon, which has a city government, is situated on Absecon Creek, near where that stream runs into the Atlantic Ocean. Absecon Creek has a uni- form depth of three feet and answers all drainage purposes fully.


An abundant supply of wholesome and pure water supplied by the Pleas- antville Water Company is piped under pressure to all parts of the town, and fire protection is afforded by water plugs placed in properly selected positions.


One public school divided into three grades, and two churches-Methodist and Presbyterian-supply the educational and religious requirements of the community.


The community has one building and loan association, with assets reported at $10,000, and three fraternal organizations-Red Men, Odd Fellows and Brotherhood of the Union.


Besides the steam railroad referred to in the first paragraph, Absecon is connected with Atlantic City, Somers Point and other places by the Atlantic City and Suburban Traction Road.


Absecon has no manufacturing industry of any kind at present, but public sentiment is decidedly favorable thereto; railroad facilities are good, and while factory sites will not be given free of cost, good locations can be secured near the railroads at prices much below the actual value of the land. The help available for a new industry is reported at twenty-five men and fifteen women. The total alien population consists of twenty-five Italians.

INDUSTRIAL DIRECTORY OF NEW JERSEY.


The principal occupations followed by residents of the town is taking oysters and clams from the waters of the bay into which Absecon Creek empties. Truck farming is also carried on to a considerable extent, the soil of the surrounding country being very good for that purpose.


Inquiries relating to Absecon should be addressed to the Absecon Realty Company.


Adamston (1 6), Ocean County. (BRICK TOWNSHIP.)


On the Long Branch Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad, distant from station, two and one-half miles. Population, 200. Banking town, Point Pleasant. A local post office (not money order) ; has neither telegraph nor telephone connections. Express service, Adams Company. Tax rate, $2.30.


Situated on the south side of the picturesque Metedeconk River, which flows into Barnegat Bay at a distance of two miles from the village, Adamston enjoys a healthful environment which offers many attractions for those who desire a home in a delightful, tranquil region within fifteen minutes drive of the ocean, with unsurpassed facilities for boating, bathing and fishing.


The village is entirely a place of residences, and the only industry follow- ed by a portion of its people is fishing in Barnegat Bay. Practically every family owns its own home, and all cultivate gardens. The soil is rated as "fair," and very good crops of huckleberries and cranberries are raised.


Adamston has one public school-eight grade, and one church-Presby- terian. It is in the pine belt, and about equal distance, ten miles, from Lake- wood on one side, and Toms River on the other.


The farm products as reported are: corn, rye, wheat and sweet potatoes, and practically all varieties of garden truck.


For further particulars, address George H. Peterson, Adamston, N. J.


Adelphia (J 11), Monmouth County. (HOWELL TOWNSHIP.)


Nearest railroad station Howell, on the Pennsylvania Railroad, distance from the town, one and one-half miles. Population, 600. Banking town, Freehold. Money order post office, telegraph and telephone connections. Express service, Adams Company. Tax rate, $1.40.

The town has one public school of the primary grade, and one church- Methodist. There are two fraternal organizations-the K. of P. and Jr. O. U. A. M.


Further particulars relating to Adelphia may be obtained by addressing the postmaster.

Aldine (D 8), Salem County.


(ALLOWAY TOWNSHIP.)


On the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad; nearest stations, Daretown, distant two and one-half miles, and Elmer, distant seven miles. Population, 75. Banking town, Elmer. Mail from Elmer by R. F. D. Telegraph and telephone connections. Express service, Adams Company. Tax rate, $1.30.


Aldine has one public school, and one church owned by Methodists. Public sentiment is favorable to manufacturing industry, and one or more of a character to suit local conditions would be welcomed. A cannery of fruits and vegetables would be preferred; an enterprise of that character should succeed very well here, as a very superior quality of almost every line of produce used in the industry is grown on the local farms. A canning estab- lishment settled here would have its supply of material almost at its doors.


The soil is extra good, and in addition to garden truck, fine crops of wheat, corn and potatoes are raised. The production of cattle for the markets is also a feature of local farming. The number of workers that could be sesured for a canning establishment or any other legitimate industry is, as reported, 100 men, and 25 women.


There are no farms for sale in the vicinity of Aldine; all such places have been taken up some time ago, and are now under cultivation.


The foreign immigrants residing in and about the village are, 15 Polocks, and 20 Russians.


The industries located here at present are: Watson-Simpson Co., canners of fruits and vegetables, employ 125 persons.


Jones Cigar Co., cigars. Number of operatives not known.


For further particulars address H. Overton Kandee, Elmer, N. J.


Allaire (1 6), Monmouth County.


(WALL TOWNSHIP.)


On the Pennsylvania Railroad, station in the village. Population, 40. Banking town, Manasquan. Postal service by R. F. D. Telegraph and tele- phone. Express service, Adams Company.


Allamuchy (G 3), Warren County. (ALLAMUCHY TOWNSHIP.)


On the Lehigh and Hudson River Railroad; station distant three-quarters of a mile from the center of the town. Population, 250. Banking town, Hackettstown. A money order post office; telegraph and telphone connec- tions. Express service, Wells Fargo Company. Tax rate, $2.00.


Allamuchy is situated in an exceedingly healthful part of the State, enjoys pure bracing semi-mountain air, and is entirely free from malaria in any form. The community has one public school. The natural drainage is good, and sewers are therefore not required. The water supply, which is pure and wholesome, is obtained from wells.


4


INDUSTRIAL DIRECTORY OF NEW JERSEY.


Manufacturing industry of some kind is very much desired, and land for such purposes may be had at very moderate prices, and on very easy terms, and water power for mill or factory purposes, to the extent of 100 horse power may be developed from nearby streams with comparatively small cost. The population, which is of a particularly sober and industrious character, would furnish a desirable class of workers for an industry not re- quiring mechanical skill on the part of operatives.


The country surrounding Allamuchy is devoted entirely to farming, the principal products being grains of various kinds, potatoes, tomatoes, and also milk and butter, large quantities of which are shipped to the markets of New York and other large cities.


For further particulars address R. O. Connor, or B. A. Hindushot, Town Commissioner.


Allendale (1 2), Bergen County.


(ORVIL TOWNSHIP.)


On the Erie Railroad; station in the centre of the town. Population, 700. Banking town, Ridgewood, distant four miles. A money order post office, telegraph and telephone connections. Express service, Wells Fargo Company. Tax rate, $1.92. Total value of taxable property, $392,000.


A choice location for residential purposes. There are no manufactories at present, but public sentiment is evry favorable to such enterprises, and with excellent railroad service, reasonable freight rates, low taxation, and land which may be had in abundance for factory sites at merely nominal prices, there are no good reasons why several industries should not prosper if once started.


The number of persons who would accept employment in the right sort of industries is reported at 125 men and 75 women-all people of intelligence and industrious habits who would make very desirable workers in an indus- try not requiring skill on the start. The town is without sewers, but enjoys very good natural drainage, and has excellent water, which is supplied from wells.


The town has one large public school with five grades, and ample accom- modations for all the children in the district; there are two churches- Methodist and Episcopalian-and one building and loan society, which answers the purpose of a local savings bank.


Water power sufficient for a good sized mill or factory can be developed from local streams with very little cost. Truck and fruit farming on quite an extensive scale is successfully carried on.


The foreign population resident in and about the town consists of about 100 Italians.


Inquiries relating to Allendale may be addressed to Jos. Mallenson or P. G. Zabriskie.


Allenhurst (J 5), Monmouth County.


(OCEAN TOWNSHIP.)


On the New York and Long Branch Railroad (Central Railroad of New Jersey system) and the Pennsylvania Railroad, and the Sea Coast Electric


5


INDUSTRIAL DIRECTORY OF NEW JERSEY.


Railroad, connecting with practically all seaside resorts on the coast. Popu- lation (permanent), 300. Banking town, Asbury Park. A money order post office, telegraph and telephone connections. Express service, Adams and United States Companies. Tax rate, $1.70.


Allenhurst is a favorite seaside resort, and has a summer population that runs into the thousands; fine roads, avenues and beautifully laid out grounds are found everywhere about the place. An excellent sewer system affords perfect drainage, and a fine quality of water is piped to all parts of the town. Separate mains for fire protection, with an ample supply of water drawn from Deal Lake, are available in all parts of the community.


The town has one church belonging to the Episcopal denomination. There is also an organization for looking after the public interests and business matters, which is called the "Allenhurst Association." The secretary, Mr. A. W. Hyatt, will answer all correspondence addressed to him on matters pertaining to the town. There are no manufactories of any kind in Allen- hurst, but public sentiment is very favorable, and such an enterprise would be welcomed. With the exceptionally fine railroad facilities which it en- joys, the town offers an inviting field for a light industry in which unskilled labor could be employed. No estimate is given of the number of persons in or about the town willing to accept employment, but although the population of the town itself is small, it is safe to promise that a fair sized industry would have no difficulty securing all the workers it might require.


The soil about Allenhurst is rated "fair," and good crops of potatoes, corn and garden truck are raised.


Allentown (G 6), Monmouth County.


(UPPER FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP.)


Nearest railroad station, Robbinsville, on the Pennsylvania Railroad; distant, three and one-half miles. Population, 1,000. A banking town with one bank-Farmers' National. A money order post office, telegraph and tele- phone connections. Express service, Adams Company. Tax rate, $1.35.


Allentown is located in a section that is free from malaria and all dis- eases of that nature; there is an ample supply of pure water with all other conveniences usually found in a place of its size, among them one first class public school, conducted on the grading principle by a highly efficient corps of teachers. There are six churches-Methodist, Protestant Episcopal, Catho- lic, Baptist, Presbyterian and African Methodist. Fire protection is furnished by one hand engine.


The manufacturing industries at present in operation are of several varie- ties; the principal ones among them are the Farmers' Canning Co., which employs a large number of persons during the season; a fertilizer works, owned by Albert Nelson & Co., in which 12 men are employed; two flouring mills ; a wagon manufactory, and a fine dairy plant, conducted by the neigh- boring farmers on the co-operative plan. Allentown is a farming commun- ity; the soil is good, and a wide range of produce is raised and marketed on the outlying farms. The principal articles are corn, wheat, rye, oats, potatoes and hay.


6


INDUSTRIAL DIRECTORY OF NEW JERSEY.


Land in practically unlimited quantities may be had for factory purposes at merely nominal figures. Manufacturing industry would be made very wel- come, and would be favored in every possible way. A good supply of in- telligent labor, male and female, will be found here.


Alliance (E 8), Salem County.


(PITTSGROVE TOWNSHIP.)


Nearest railroad station, Broadway, on the Central Railroad of New Jer- sey ; distant, about two miles. Population, 1,200. Banking town, Vineland. A money order post office, telegraph and telephone connections. Express service, Adams Company.


Alliance has six public schools of the primary and grammar grades; in proportion to population, educational facilities here are equal to the best found elsewhere in the State. Five synagogues minister to the spiritual wants of the community, which is largely composed of Hebrews. In the town and its immediately vicinity are large tracts of land suitable for factory or resi- dential purposes, plots of which many be purchased at very low prices. Both manufacturing and farming are carried on in the town and outlying districts.


The manufacturing is at present confined to the clothing lines, such as mens' vests, and women's cloaks. There is a desire in the community for the extension of manufacturing industry, and encouragement in the form of free building sites and finanacial assistance, will be given to firms settling there. The labor force available is, as reported, 400 men and 200 women. At present there is one idle two-story factory building in the town, the use of which can be secured on very moderate terms.


The soil of the surrounding country is good, being of a character favor- able to the production of fruits and garden vegetables. The principal products are grapes, strawberries, blackberries, sweet potatoes, peas and tomatoes. The clothing manufacturers referred to above are located in the neighboring villages of Brotmansville and Norma; there are five of these firms, and between them 185 men and 100 women are employed.


Inquiries relating to Alliance addressed to Henry Steinberg will receive prompt attention.


Alloway (D 8), Salem County. (ALLOWAY TOWNSHIP.)


On the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad ; station on the edge of the town. Population, 500. Banking towns, Salem and Woodstown. A money order post office, telegraph and telephone connections. Express service; Adams Company. Total value of all taxable property, $760,393. Tax rate, $1.36.


Alloway is situated at the head of Alloway Creek, a tributary of the Dela- ware River. As yet there is neither sewer system nor water works, but both these important improvements will soon be provided.


The community supports four schools-primary, intermediate, grammar, and a high school, in which the course is three years; there are two churches -Methodist Episcopal and Baptist. Of social and fraternal organizations

INDUSTRIAL DIRECTORY OF NEW JERSEY.


there are three lodges, representing the Odd Fellows, Knights of Pythias, and Patriotic Sons of America.


Farming is the principal industry of the locality; the land is good, and fine crops of wheat, corn, potatoes, and tomatoes are raised. The com- munity sentiment is favorable to the establishment of manufacturing indus- try; abundance of land along the line of the railroad, all of it admirably situated for factory sites, can be purchased for that purpose in plots of any desired size. Some parts of this land would be donated to anyone wishing to build a factory, and all possible encouragement will be given to such an enterprise. The climate is healthful, there is no malaria, and the water sup- ply for domestic purposes is both pure and abundant.


Further information relating to Alloway will be furnished on application to John W. Dunham.


Almonesson (E 7), Gloucester County. (DEPTFORD TOWNSHIP.)


Nearest station, Woodbury, on the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad; the South Jersey Electric and Traction Road passes through the town. Population, 425. Banking town, Woodbury. A post office (not money order). Express service, Adams Company.


Alpha, Warren County. (POHATCONG TOWNSHIP.)


On the Lehigh Valley Railroad and the Central Railroad of New Jersey; station of the Lehigh Valley in the town; station of the Central (Vulcanite), one-quarter mile distant. Population, 2,500. Banking town, Phillipsburg. Money order post office, telegraph and telephone connections. Express ser- vice, United States Company. Tax rate, $1.15. Total value of all taxable property, $1,600,000.


Alpha is a large town that has grown up under the stimulating influence of a great industry-the manufacture of cement, which is carried on by the Alpha Portland Cement Company. It is therefore pre-eminently an industrial community, in the growth and expansion of which the inhabitants take a very earnest interest.


The town has one public school of the fifth grade, and three churches- Catholic, Presbyterian and Reformed. There is good natural drainage, and the water supply is derived from wells and from the Delaware River, and Pohatcong Creek, each of which are a half mile distant.


Land for factory purposes will be sold at a very low rate, and any form of industry not requiring water power will receive a hearty welcome. The number of workers available for a new industry and who would gladly accept employment in one is 1,150, of whom 150 are women.


Alpha is situated in a very healthful location, the air is dry and bracing, and there is no malaria. With its superior railroad service and comparative closeness to the large towns of Phillipsburg and Easton, the future growth of the place seems assured.

INDUSTRIAL DIRECTORY OF NEW JERSEY.


The soil about Alpha is rated as good, and the farm products consist prin- cipally of wheat, corn and potatoes. There is a large foreign element in and about the place at present; their number and nationality, as reported, are as follows: Polish, 400; Hungarian, 1,500; and Italian, 500.
