This really tells the secret of Perth
Amboy. Its inhabitants are thrifty.
They own their own homes no matter
how humble. Within the past few
years nearly all the farms lying either
within or just outside the city limits,
bavc been cut up into building lots
and disposed of on the easy term pay
mcnt system. Hundreds of laborers
have taken advantage of this by ins
vcsting their small savings in cash
payments and paying the remainder
in monthly installments instead of pay
ing rent. They have thus become
real estate holders and taxpayers.
They have built their own home,
small as it may be, aud arc living
happily.
The growth of Perth Amboy during
the past fifteen years has been so fast
the municipal fathers could not keep up
For this reason the city is not what it
will be in the very nca future. Paved
streets are just now receiving the
most serious attention.
The city already has New Bruins

Story of One of the
Oldest Cities in the
Country Made New
in a Remarkably
Short Time---A
B Dom That Has
Come to Stay.

A well known man Of this city, who
came to Perth Amboy but a few years
ago having been brought here by a
new concern, said a short time ago
that although he had Travelled much
and worked in different parts of the
country he had found no place which
suited him better than Perth Amboy.
He declared that there was but one
place Which at all approached it and
that was San Francisco because the
climate Of that city was a little milder
in the winter. He said he liked the
people here and what seem to give
him 4 great deal of satisfaction was
that. as he put it, there were no starry
ing millionaircs. He had been able
to find no one who was walking about
posing as a man of wealth while he
had not a cent in his pockets. Every
body is on IN equality and all are
busy. No man is ashamed 10 work
and they all glory in it. Most of the
employees and ldborers in the factories
hereabouts own their own homes in
which they take 10 little pride. They
all take an interest in the public wei
fare, and assist in making the place
a desirable location for a residence OF
business Of any kind.
Perth Amboy is not a modern town
by any means, therefore many of her
streets are narrow and some old build
ings are seen. Some of these struC-
lures are, however, of much more val
ne than the price the assessor places
upon them, as t- following pages
will tell. In her shade trees the city
is particularly fortunate and during the
summer the tloroughfares will com
pare favorably, in rcgard to beautiful
trees and shade, with any city in this
section of the country. For a manu-
featuring city, its standard of resi-
dences is exceptionally high. While
nothing really elaborate is to be seen
no millionaire mansions there is an
excellent class of houses, pretty and
tasteful which are pleasing to the eye.
The city, being high affords oppor-

and Staten Island sound empty into
that body and has one of the finest
harbors in the country. 1t is seven
teen miles from New York.
The foregoing brief sketch is merely
as an introduction to this edition, the
details are to be found in the follow
ing pages. 1t tells a story of a grow
ing, progressive municipality where
everybody is hustling for the honest
dollar. BY the latest reports Of the
government this city ranks third in
increase in population in this State.
Is is led by Atlantic City and P~assaic.
AS Perth Amboy's natural advantages
become more and more realized this
growth will increase. With well paved
streets, admirable location and large
stores as complete as those Of the
largest cities, Perth Amboy moves
lhead without any assistance. Manu-
facturers simply come here because
they consider it the best place for
them to locate. With ofRca-
York the businQss man aas a site
which gives even more advantages
that he could get almost anywhere
else at a much more reasonable
cost. 1t is noticeable th~t Perth Am
boy has no concerns wi i h have been
given free sites or free REL. Those
which have come here have. = most
instances, built their own plants and
they are substantial buildings and
of the order which are not afterward
vacated to to other places.
With pretty streets, handsome trees
and lawns, comfortable homes, a
beautiful water front for all kinds of
a~musements, such as boating and
fishing, with miles of fine macadam
roads leading inland across the most
fertile section of the State, Perth
Amboy is decidedly a most desirable
place to live. On the other hand, it
has its deep and safe harbor, its x
cellent railroad facilities, its soil file
with a valuable product, it is altogeth2'
