Bridgeton pioneer. (Bridgeton, N.J.) 1884-1919, 1909-04-15

ana giving generally such data as
would be interesting and yet convey to
the ..inquiring public complete idea
of.the city and its advantages.
To-day large, as we'll as small con-
Germs, are looking for new locations,
many Of them regret their present To-
cation and are now investigating new
localities. Competition in respective
lines Of manufacturing is now SO keen
that manufacturers desiring to locate
are beginning to do so in systematic
manner and 60 into such details as
will enable them to decide on loca-
tion that is best suitable for their par
ticular interests
This is my reason for having a place
where complete information can be
obtained. Strangers visiting Bridge
ton are apt to get only such informa-
tion as may be given by the person
with whom they come in contact with,
and therefore, that person should have
the knowledge of all that Bridgeton
has, and he should be able to give to
that person such data in black and
white in order that the person SO in
quiring will not confuse our advan-
tages with those Of another city which
has systematically grouped its assets.
Before such an enterprise could be
worked out properly it would be neces-
sary to have in hand sufficient money
to insure its permanency. and there
should be added to all these earnest
and active cooperation of Bridgeton' $
citizens to assure the best results.
Assuming that an organization has
been effected and funds in hand, then,
in my opinion, and not until then
should series of systematic advertise.
ments be ..sent out and my idea as to
the nature of these would be to follow
the scheme of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Co. Their advertisements are
headed, Pennsylvania Railroad Bull
letin, y and then follows short state
ment of their company's ability. to
handle the traffic and time table.
My idea would be to entitle ours
''Bridgeton, New Jersey Bulletin -
BRIDGETON, NEW JERSEY,
BULLETIN:
Intelligent American labor. Any
/ incorporation or firm contemplating
locating a new factory or changing
the location of their present factory,
will do we'll to visit Bridgeton, New
Jersey.
1t is a town having two railroads,
water transportation and an abundance
OF intelligent white American labor.
Fhe citizens of Bridgeton are desir-
GUS Of locating substantial factories
and woald like to meet those desiring
to take advantage Of it's many adam
tages. A complete booklet illustra-
ting the city q Bridgeton, New Jersey,
together with q considerable amount Of
date will be mailed upon application
to the Chamber Of Gemmerce Bridge
ton, N. j.
These ads. if changed frequently,
and inserted in the various Philadel-
phia papers, say three times each week
would attract the attention of the
reading public Of Philadelphia, and
the outlying cities Some who would
read would be interested and some of
those interested would undoubtedly
follow up our suggestion.
Bulletins of this sort describing
Bridgeton's advantages would do us a
considerable amount of good. There
are now quite a few commuters living
in Bridgeton and hslding positions in
Philadelphia. There is no reason why
this number could not be multiplied
many times.
Rents are low and the cost of living
cheap. The climate is good and it
might be a surprise to many to know
that for fourteen years the city of
Bridgeton has had the lowest. death
rate
At one time I got up rough draft
OF some advertising matter which I
