TO BE SOL D,
For caffi or liquidated certificates of any date, that are
due to the citizens of New-Jersey or Pennsylvania,
or to the soldiers late in the line of either of these
states,
To be Sold by the Subscriber,
THE house in which he now lives, with the spaci
ous lot whereon it stands, the water lot and new
wharf of 78 feet front; it.is known to be as good a
stand for business as any in the city of New-Brunswick.
Likewise the house and lot 011 Water-lireet, adjoining
next below Colonel Taylors, in possession of William
Nevius ; the lot is in front on the street 75 feet, and
extending the fame breadth about 175 feet, with a wa
ter lot in front of the whole, as advantageously situ
ated, and as capable of improvement, as any lot on
the river :—A number of lots and water lots lying ft
Water-Rreet and the river Raritan, between Dott^
Cochran's house and the mine pits; with a number of
lots on Albany-ftre^t, New street, and other Greets to
be laid out. Allo, the freehold right to several lots
and houses in Albany-Rreet, upon ground rent.
1 he city of New-Brunswick is perhaps more advan
tageously situated for an inland trade, than anv town
in New-Jersey, it being a thoroughfare between Phila
delphia and New-York, and at the head of the navi
gation of the river Raritan; distant from the former
about 60 miles, one half of which is water carriage;
and from the latter, about 35 miles by land, and 40
by water. Ihe Rage-waggons from both these cities
pals through every day in the year, except Sunday;
and vessels of very considerable burthen afford daily
opportunities of transportation to New York. It is
remarkable for being a healthy spot, and situated in
the heart of a well fettled fertile country, which af
fords daily supplies of provisions of all forts, at lower
rates than any town in New-Jersey: No place can be
better situated for storekeepers, mechanicks or manu
facturers, as tradesmen of all kinds may find constant
employ, and fend or carry their manufactures either
to New-York or Philadelphia, at very little expence —
So fine a Situation is really an object for a company of
honest Germans, whole industry the proprietor willies
so much to encourage, that if their families will be
come citizens by purchase, he will give them a proper
lot to build a church on, and a convenient lot of four
or five acres for a parsonage. This place is likewise
distant, by land or water, about 12 miles from the city
of PERTH-AMBOY, situated at the mouth of the
river Raritan, lately made a free port, and endowed
by charter with privileges, and by nature with advan
tages, that cannot but be the means of promoting com
merce very rapidly in this state. A number of lots and
water lots are likewise to be fold there. Those that
incline to purchase, may know the terms and conditi
ons of sale, by applying to
