While discussing the past history
of Perth Amboy and the wonderful
advance it has made until it is now a
leading manufacturing and CONNER
cial city, it is fitting that we should
pause long enough TO look into the
future and see what this city will pro
badly be twenty-five years hence.
This is an interesting subject, but one
exceedingly difficult, for Perth Am
boy is growing rapidly and the city
! bids fair to expand still faster each
year SC that a jump of a quarter of a
century is next to impossible to fore
see. Just for the sake knowing what
could happen within that time and
what, it is not improbable will happen,
we will take 4 stroll about the Perth
Amboy of 1899.
This is at the corner of Smith and
and State street. We sec several tall
buildings. Not skyscrapcrs, such as
arc to be seen i'll New York. Six
story buildings arc common, however,
and there. is Il miniature ilat-iron
where the post office used to be in
1904. 1t is called miniature, because
it is only eight stories high compared
with the tall structure in New York.
The asphalt pavement OF Smith and
State streets is pretty well worn and
an effort is being made by some o.
the new property owners to have
both thoroughfares rcsurfaccd. New
Brunswick avenue is a wonder. This
has come to be the great wholesale
district, while State street has grown
more and more like the Bowerv.
Large warehouses and business block.
line New Brunswick venue and al
those vacant lots along Jefferson
and Fayettc streets from the avenue
to til, Central railroad, including al
the cross streets are alive with shop
pers. This and along Smith street is
now the great retail district. Shops
of all kinds and large department
stores arc seen. 1t is hard to realize
that this is really Perth Amboy. A
double track trolley line runs out New
Brunswick avenue and there are also
tracks on Fayette and Maple streets.
Walking up Jefferson street the
Carnegie library is passed. 1t looks
rather small and aged beside tho

the office in 1870. The post Office
was then situated in the Sanford
building, about where 4S Smith street
is now. In those days everybody
went to the office for their mail, the
carrier being a thing of the future. In
the year 1876 John f. TenBroeck
again became postmaster, and he
served until 1884, when he was suc-
ceeded by John ~Fothergill. The
latter served two terms and in 1890
George II. Tice, the present incumb

The post office had been for several
years in the Garretson building at
the northwest corner Of Smith and

junction of New Brunswick avenue
and State and Smith streets. The
annual receipts at that time were
about $4,000. December J., 1892

ment for many today, but pause a
moment and think what Perth Am
boy was twenty-five years ago and
ask yourself whether the present ex-
TEN of the city was then ever thought
of. If it was it was only by a few
and TO them it was just beginning to
dawn. For the past fourteen years
Perth Amboy's population has grown
at the rate of about 1000 a year. 1t
is reasonable to assume hal this rate
will increase year by year and it is
therefore not unreasonable to sup
pose that twentyfi five years hence this
will be a city of from $4,000 to
10000 people. With the advance
mcnt being made along scientific,
commercial and engineering lines it
is not unreasonable to suppose that
far 0 wonderful things will trans
pre- in the next quarter century that
has occurred during the same length
of time just past. Perth Amboy is
destined to become a great city and
there are many living today who will
see these things come to pass. The
world moves and as trade centers de-
velop and become crowded other
places must be found. The tide is
turning towards Perth Amboy.
Twenty-Five years hence it will be
flowing this way with a mighty rush.
Where it will stop is beyond all inn
agination.

PAST TEN YEARS ACTUAL WORK
ON FEDERAL BUILDING SOON
TO BE COMMEMORATIVE
DELIVERY system.

The post Office at Perth Amboy
has a record to be proud of. In fact,
the first thoughts Of a postal service
In the colonies really originated here
with Colonel John Hamilton, son
ofGpvernor Andrew Hamilton, and
himself at one time acting Governor,
being President of the Council. He
devised thA scheme of post roads
about the year 1904. He obtained
a patent for it and afterward sold his
right to the crown. 1t is evident the
deliveries we're not as certain as they
are now for in 1872 a Philadelphia
paper announced that the New York
post was @three days behind his time
and had not yet arrived.
In 1854, the post was put under
Benjamin Franklin's charge and an
improvement took place. AT tina,
time Perth Amboy and Burlington
were the only post offices in New
Jersey, they being on the direct route
between Philadelphia and New York.
Letters for all the district miles about
extending far down into Monmouth
county and to Elizabethtown, we're
left here for distribution. Later,
however, history says that Perth Am
hoy and Burlington were. completely
cut of, as the main routc for the
post rider passed through Newark,
Elizabcthtown, Bridgetown, which is
now Railway, Brunswick, Princeton
and Trenton. This was in 1891.
July u 1893 post office was again
established at Perth Amboy and John
Thompson was appointed postmaster.
The mail was brought from Wood
bridge, that town being then, and un-
til 1907 or 1903, on the main route
between New York and Philadelphia.
1t arrived three times a week and
continued so to arrive until 1912,
when, for some reason, probably
through the influence of the proprie-
tors of the Brighton House for the ac-
commodation of their guests, it was
brought in daily. This arrangement,
however, did not last long, and for
some years it was received as before,
three times a week. About 1925 it
arrived daily. excepting Sundays,
during the summer, and three times
a week i'll winter, which continued to
be the case until 1880 when it arrived
and departed daily, Sundays excepted.
The appointment of John Thomp-
son postmaster July /, 1895 was fol
lowed November /, 1894 by the ap-I
pointment Of Edward John Ball. The
other postmasters have been; Scptcm-

NeWspaper's
Value To a
Communitq

The average editor usually has his
all invested in his newspaper proper
ty. That investment generally repre-
sents from one to fifty thousand dol
lars. But it is worth more to the
town than five times the amount in
vested in any other local enterprise.
AS a rule the newspaper represents
to the outside world the town itself.
fooF napers, poor town, is-the usss.ssl
verdict. 1t is, therefore to the inter
est OF every town to support a good
paper. Not through local pride alone,
but for practical business reasons. A
newspaper is constantly doing ten
times as much for its own town as it
could ever hope TO get pay for, more
than 1t could charge fer, if it would.
The more prosperous a paper is, the
more il is able TO do. Show us a good
daily paper, full Of live local ads. with
1 general circulation throughout tho
county, and we will show you an up
to-datc, prosperous, progressive com
nunity. And we will shcw you 4

poetry at the end to say nothing of an
occasional notice about a lost COW or
some cotton seed for sale, and we
will show you a community that is
