Perth Amboy evening news., 1911-05-18

But few realize what an import
ant factor in the growth of a city
progressive real estate firm may be.
How it blazons forth to the world
it's many advantages, how every mail
carries to distant cities convincing
arguments of its merits and prosper
ity and how the visitor is shown,
fairly and squarely it's possibilities.
The growth of a city spells oppor-
tunity for all For some it means
increased chances for employment,
for others mercantile advantages and
for the real estate holder, profits.
The firm of Burke & Bolger en-
tered the real estate field some six
years ago. They thoroughly realized
what the quick and sturdy growth of
Perth Amboy meant to the real es-
! tate investor. But their idea was
not merely to benefit by this growth
/ but to accelerate it as much as lay
in their power
To this end, in addition to lists of
city and farm property, their rent
ing, exchanging and managing, plac-
ling loans and executing mortgages
and placing fire, accident, liability
and plate glass insurance, they stud
led the broader problems of the
city's development and industrial
facilities.
| In directing their attention to the
industrial phase of the city's growth
they studied with care not only all
available factory sites but took upon
themselves the task of locating IN
dustries here with all the energy
that comes not only from civic pride
but also from personal interest.
| Their efforts have been already
crowned with remarkable success in
a manner that will benefit Perth
Amboy very materially.
They have located the Manu-
heimer & Kasse cloak factory here,
bringing them from New York.
To realize what continued efforts
along these lines mean note what
one enterprise such as this means to
Perth Amboy. 1t means first the en-
ployment of about 200 people, and,
should we allow one to each family,
600 people added to the city's pop
ulation 1t means the erection on
the selected site at Washington and
Division streets of a strictly modern,
fire proof, pleasing structure, cost
ing upwards of $4,000. Another
great industry added to the long list
of Perth Amboy enterprises.
In addition, Mr.. Kasse contem-
plates making Perth Amboy his
home and erecting handsome
dwelling along the water front
Among other recent sales OF this
energetic real estate firm is that of
the Guiges property to Mr.. w. Par
ker Runyon, president of the Perth
Amboy Dry Dock Company. This
transaction involved many thousands
of dollars and is looked upon as one
of the most important sales of re-
cent days.
The firm keeps in constant touch
with those who seek location for
manufacturing plants. They give
prompt personal attention to all in
quiries. They have at their disposal

painstaking study and effort. And
this information is so systematized
that every detail can be offered for
consideration without leaving the Of

Besides the many large and i'm
portant real estate transactions of an
Individual character in which the
firm is interested, they are active
through the Sewaren Investment
Company in the development of
tract of land in Sewaren composed
of over fourteen hundred lots, in
volving over half a million dollars.
This development also means much
to Perth Amboy. Its success brings
added prosperity to this whole sec
ton, for this land has been well
chosen and is honestly sold. 1t is
located two blocks from the Jersey
Central station; is good, dry land;
