SALEM COUNTY cENSUSES
Extracts From State Report.

The Secretary OF State has just issued
a pamphlet comprising a compendium OF
the censuses from 1926 to 1905. From
it the following information concerning
Salem county has been compiled.
Gathering and tabulating the figures
from ancient and musty records has been
a long and tiresome task, but it has been
well done and there is cause to congrat-
ulate the Secretary of State and his
assistants upon the completion Of a work
that will form a State reference.
The opening chapter relates to "Early
Population" and their is a belief that
there were Dutch settlements in Bergen
county as early as 1913 or 1914, though
1918 is given as the historical date, when
a settlement could be regarded as per-
manent. The Indian population was
never large, and it is estimated that in
1864 there were probably not more than
1000 Indians in tile State, and never, more
than 5000 when the white man began
to make his home on the soil.
Tabular pages show the date of the
formation of each county, with the dates
OF. subdivision, and the population from
the earliest known census down to the
latest,
Under the heading ''Salem county"
it is stated that Salem county was es-
tablished May IS, 1894, from what was
generally known as the Salem Tenth.
A portion was set off as Cumberland
county January 10, l748.
The population of Salem county is
shown in thasa 6ouros.

PennsGrove, NJ.
Dear Sir: How did you get your business?
We'll tell you how we got ours. You sell
shoes, we make paint; perhaps we can do
a good turn to ourselves, you and we, by
swapping experiences.
We began 152 years ago in a little sho D
a few-minutes walk from where we are
now; a great many things have happened.
we don't remember them all. We made as
good paint as we could and learned to
maize better. We are the oldest now; we
don't know whether we had any teacher
or not; it's so long ago; if we had, he's gone
and forgotten. We should have been for
gotten, if we hadn't made good paint and
friends.
You buy your shoes; you nave an adj
vantage in that; if you make a hit, YOU
can push it quick. We've had to 20 slow
it's hald to pick-out ones W mistakes,
and nothing but fun to correct the mistakes
of others.
o know where 10 go for leather that
keeps its shape, feels good, looks new, and
wears a long time What a comfort it is
to be comfortable from making ones Gus
toners comfortable!
We also have a unique advantage
unique, you know, means that n~obodv-else
has any anything like it. We make a strong
paint that takes less gallons, saves half the
cost of painting your house, and it's like
that leather of yours for wear. 1t is all paint
and the strongest of paint. Paint is usually
adulterated and weak.
We're very old, but we make young paint
one gallon is better than two, If it has the
stuff in it.
