The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1894-01-05
NEW FOLDER.
His Map of New York and Vicinity
Fine Piece of Work.

We nave just received from Chas. K,
Hammitt, Advertising Agent, 231 Broad
way, New York, his folder for 1894, entitled
New York and Vicinity, with map.
The map shows that territory represented
by circle within SO miles of City Hall, New
York, and the folder includes various tables
of population and rates, which would seem
to be of the utmost Importance to business
houses DESTROYS of trade in the territory
named.
A remarkable feature as shown by this
folder is, that New Jersey, suburban to New
York, takes rank with the greatest cities in
America, having a population in 1890 reach
ing almost a million, being some thousands
larger than the population of Long Island
within the same distance, including Brook
Ign.
The rapid growth is shown by comparison
with that of 1880, during which time the
increase exceeded a million, or an average of
10000 a year, representing about 21,0Oo
families added to this population every year;
to furnish homes for which, at a moderate
estimate, requires at least q square mile of
unimproved lots, which certainly accounts
to a large extent for the rapid growth OF
values in real estate, and is rich in promise
to New Jersey near to New York, where
existing values are much lower then north
and east of New York.
As the results become fully apparent from
numerous street railways that are projected
and in course of construction, and the new
bridge across the Hudson, which has recently
been authorized by act of Congress; this
territory must grow in Importance very
rapidly, and it does not require a great
stretch of the imagination to see on this side
of the Hudson River a great city rivallng In
population and Importance the greatest
cities Of the country.
Mr.. Hammitt's folder lays especial stress
on the Importance of this field for business

the local papers published in this territory,
with rates presented in a very convenient
form and aptly states a peculiar value OF
these papers as a means OF advertising any
business into local popularity.
This folder also furnishes rates OF adyer-
Using of the New York daily papers, the
elevated and surface cars, and gives sug-
g~estions of other methods of advertising, and
IS specially worthy of examination by our
business men of New Jersey, and also those
seeking business connections in this ter
ritory.
