TO BE SOLD,
To be Sold, by the Subscriber,
r rHE house in which he how lives, with the fpaci
.l ous lot whereon it Rands, the water lot and new
wharf of 78 feet front; it is known to be as good a
stand for bulinefs as ary in the city of New Brunswick.
Likewise the house and lot on Water-Rreet, adjoining
next below Colonel Taylors, in possession cf William
Nevins ; the let is in front bn 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 cf improvement, as any lot on
the river : —A number of lots and water lots lying on
Water-street and the river Raritan, between Doctor
Cochran's house and the mine-pits; with a number of
lots on Aibany-ftreet, New-ftrect, and other Streets to
be laid out. Also, the freehold right to several lots
and houses in Albany-street, upon ground rent.
I he city cf New-Biurdwick is perhaps more advan
tagcoußy Situated for an inland trade, than any town
in New-Jersey, it being a thoroughfare between Phila
delphia and New-Yoik, and at the head of the navi
gation of the river Raritan ; distant from the former
about 60 milts, one half of which is water carriage;
and from the latter, about 35 miles by land, and 40
by water. The Rage-waggons from both these cities
pat's through every day in the year, except Sunday;
and veSfels of very considerable burthen afford daily
opportunities of transportation to New-Yorfe. It is
remarkable for being a healthy spot, and situated in
the heart cf 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 cf 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, whose industry the proprietor wishes
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 parfanage. This place is likewifo
distant, by land or water, about 12 miles from the citv
of PERTH-AMBOY, situated at the mouth of the
river Raritan, lately made a free port, and endowed
by charter with privileges, arid by nature with advan
tages, that cannot but be the means of promoting com
merce very rapidly in this Rate. 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
