lions, not to mention the savings
banks, which pay a good interest on
any deposit-all these things are
offered to you by Perth Amboy.
Now that the trolley is running, we
invite you to visit the city and size
it up for Yourself. Then there is an
excellent business college for round
ing out ar education.
But there is yet another feature
We promised to tell you about. We
refer to amusements. Perth Amboy
has two real theatres. These are
ne mere halls for travelling troops
to stop at for a single night. These
are vaudeville houses with acts the
same as are to be seen On any of the
New York stages. In fact, both the
local playhouses are on the same
circuits with the New York houses
and get the best acts as they pass
along. Everything is done for the
convenience of the public at these
theatres and those who attend one
performance invariably go again.
You 20 get the habit and it is a
good habit, too. 1t furnishes a lit
tie variation in life. Examine the
advertisements of these playhouses
In today's paper and note the popu-
lar prices. When o realize that
you get the same show that you pay
fifty cents and a dollar, sometimes
a $1.50 to see in New York. you
| can appreciate what Perth Amboy
is offering you in the line of amuse-
ment. What can be more attractive
than to have "a delightful trolley
ride, shop for an hour or two In
large, well-lighted stores with an
ample stock tor choose from, and
then to go to the "show" for an
other hour and a half or two hours?
Can O think of anything more de
lightful? Try it once and see how
you like 1t. We have an idea that it
is catching.
The theatres give three perform
ances daily. At present they are on
their summer schedule, which con-
sists largely of moving pictures. The
fall program will soon begin, how
ever, and then you will have more

there is an excellent motion picture
house with a continuous change of
program. You cannot help but be
delighted with the theatrical attrac-
tons at Perth Amboy. Taking it all
in all, you will have to admit that
Perth Amboy leaves nothing to be
desired. The trolley is now running
and this is your opportunity. One
theatre is on Madison avenue just
south of Smith street. The other Is
on New Brunswick avenue. You
cannot miss their great glazing cleo
trio signs.
One of the features Of shopping
in Perth Amboy is the light. Night
is turned into day here. Perth Am
boys white way" is famous for
miles around. The glare in the sky
over the business section OF the city
is easily distinguishable. Perhaps
you have noticed it. This white
way" extends along Smith street for
two blocks. Nearly every store on
these blocks has a flaming arc light
hanging in front. These ares, to-
gether with the flare of the enor-
nous electric signs of the respective

a metropolitan appearance which
cannot be surpassed by In other
city of twice its size In the state.
During the political campaign
last year one of the parties brought
a prominent resident of Trenton,
the capital of the state, here to
make a speech. When he arose to
speak he said he could not begin I'M
til he had complimented the city up
on it's lights. He said hat the bus
mess section of the city of Trenton
was like a dark, dingy hole COM
pared with that of Perth Amboy.
Those who have seen both places de-
clare that he was right, although
Trenton is now putting on a hustle,
Come up to Perth Amboy after
dark and see what a blaze of glory
We do business in. II you can beat
1t anywhere, drop a card to the
EVENING NEWS. We have yet to
hear of the place.
We have tried here to tell you
only about the advantages Perth
Amboy offers for shopping. We
have referred to our great manufac-
turing facilities. Did you know
that Perth Amboy was the first city
In New Jersey to have a Carnegie
library? 1t is a pretty little build
ing situated not far from the busi-
ness center. Then there is u fed
eral building. This is a massive af-
fair, built of white terra Gotta, all
of the material in it being made
here in this city. Perth Amboy
takes a double pride in this. In this
building is located the post office
and the custom house, for, you must
know, Perth Amboy is an important
port OF entry, ranking first in the
state and standing among the first
nine in the country. You will see
all these places as you pass to and
fro to do your shopping.
NoA the least of the advantages of
making your purchases in Perth Am
boy Is the comforts and convent
ences of it all. Here you have met
ropolitan stores and we'll paved
streets within a few minutes ride Of
your home and the fare is nominal.
Then there is the delightful outing
on the trolley thrown in. The stores
are large and roomy. They are
home-like, and clerks are polite and
courteous. They are as an intelli-
gent a set of statesmen and sales
ladies as you will find behind a
counter anywhere. The stores are
