Jacob Haussling,

Senator Dryden was the greatest
man Newark ever had. He, and the
company of which he was president,
have done SO much for this city thai
it cannot be but highly appreciated by
every true citizen who has the inter
csts of his own city at heart. His loss
will be keenly felt all over the country.
l hope that the planned Prudential
tower It the corner of Broad and
Market, one of the pet schemes of the
late Senator. will soon rise there
higher than any other building in the
city, as a fitting memorial to his great
ness.

Louis Plaut,

In the death of former Senator John
r. Dryden the community has lost a
man of sterling character and L.onu-
mental achievement. In the insurance
field he has set a high standard of
efficiency, which he now ~bequeaths to
his successor in the management of the
great institution of which he was
president. IT is to be hoped that the
lofty principles inculcated by him will
be maintained in the future to per-
%petuate his name

Franklin Murphy,
Governor of New Jersey.

Il knew Senator Dryden from the
beginning of the history Of the Pruden-
tiaI. He was one of the strongest char
acters we had in Newark. He was
clear-headed and resolute, and at the
same time a t~ireless worker.
HE was a developing man as he
grew in years. AS a young man he
started with a young enterprise and
grew as the enterprise grew, until he
became the recognized leader of the
Prudential Insurance Company of
America. His death is a distinct loss
to the city,

Il considered former Senator John F.
Dryden one of the most eminent men
of the State of New Jersey and the
city of Newark. No mar ever did more
for any city than lie did for this. Thv
Prudential, his creation, is the greatest
business organization in Newark and
il has done more for the prosperity of
Newark than any other n thing. No
man had a keener business insight and
a more constructive mind. His judg-
ment in business questions was of the
very highest character"

Already large relief fund has been
