The mammoth industrial plants

ment of the company's Smith street
store and a commodious warehouse
along the tracks of the Pennsylvania

In addition to keeping in touch
with the wants of Perth Amboy
plants, the territory of the company
includes all the small towns sur
rounding the city. Wagons ply fire.

bridge. Carteret and South Amboy,
and to all the mills ana around those
towns.
Closely studying the needs of its
patrons and benefting by years OF
experience has enabled the manage
ment to anticipate to a nicely the
demands made upon it with the re-
suit that the store is one of the bus
lest in any line in the city.
In addition to mill and factory
supplies, the builder and contractor
the plumber and the painter find
their wants promptly met from
the extensive stock, which in the
Smith street store alone occupies
about an acre of floor space.

The Company employs all year
round an average of 500 men. It's
work is going on winter and sum
mer, although it is always buster in
the summer, at which time it may be
difficult to catch up with the rush
orders coming in. Most of the en-
ployees Of the Company are skilled
mechanics, such as modelers, model
and mould-makers n pressers, who
command good wages. The process
of manufacture from the raw state
of the clay in the hands of the press
ers and through the firing process to
the finished products is facilitated
in every way by modern contriy-
ances and inventions, so as to make
the handling of the product a mini
mum, and yet produce the best and
most satisfactory results.
The location of the Company's
plant on both the Lehigh Valley R.
R. and the Central R. R. of New Jer-
sey's tracks greatly facilitate the
handling of it's freight. Several rail-
road switches enter the Company's
yards and there the coal and clay is
unloaded and the finished product
loaded Oh the ears to be shipped 70

adorn some building, perhaps far off
West or South from here.
The Company considers it a bene-
fit to be located in Perth Amboy, not
alone because this locality has al
ways been considered the center of
the architectural terra Gotta indus
try, where the clay necessary and
most adaptable for it's purpose is to
be obtained, but also because here
it can get the best and most skilled
help, and better and more centralized
shipping facilities than can be OBJ
tanned at any other place.
The Company has furnished the
architectural terra Gotta fer many of
the well known Office buildings along
Broadway and for some of the larg-
est hotels, apartment houses, schools,
churches, etc, in New York, Boston
and other Of our large cities.
Its territory is not confined alone
to the East, 1t makes deliveries to all
parts of the United States, and has
even shipped material as far as Seat
tie, Washington, and Brazil, South
America, and its contracts on hand

buildings to be erected In Texas,

The New Jersey Terra Gotta Com
pany can date its establishment back
to the year 1888, when it first com
menced business at its present Ioca-
ton. II was then only a small af-
fair, a oue-horse concern. with two
small kilns and a single frame-build-
ing. The first years of its existence
were a continuous fight for recog-
milton, and many were the troubles
and ~tribulations, which its starters
had to contend with.
The Company vas incorporated
under its present style in 1898. This
was at a time, when there was not
the field for Architectural Terra
Gotta, which has later been deyel-
oped. Slowly has this Company
worked Its way up from a small be-
ginning to be recognized as one Of
the leaders among the profession,
and it is now considered the largest
individual plant in it's line in the
East. Its name is known far and
wide among architects and builders.
Tt has lately made considerable i'm
Drovements to its plant and has by
the erection of new buildings and
Eilns, and by the purchase of land
and installation of up-to-date ma
chinery greatly Increased its ,capa-
city and added to its facilities for
handling its large output.
The factory is situated on Cath
crime street, North Amboy, at the in
|tersection of the Lehigh Valley Rail-
road spur with the Central Railroad
of New Jersey, in that part Of the
town formerly called the Woods
which was at that time a suburb Of
Perth Amboy, with but few houses
around, and considered to be half
way out in the wilds. The New Jer-
sey Terra Gotta Company and North
Amboy have grown up together, as
sisting each other, and this district
has since become quite IN important
and independent part of our town.
The New Jersey Terra Gotta Com
pany owns almost all Of the land
on both sides Of Catherine street mp

several lots on Cortlaudt street,

The Perth AmbOy
Board of Trade
Continued from page u

Being composed of representative
business men who in their desire
for progress are governed by the
proper spirit of conservatism born
of extended experience the decisions
of the Board are never hastily taken
and its actions command the respect
that is due unselfsh efforts for the
public welfare.

fuence and energy in this fight and

had this body not interviewed.
In this fight for transportation the
Perth Amboy Board of Trade went
in a body to New Brunswick to urge
the cause of the Jersey Central
Traction Co.
The Board of Trade also took the
matter up before the War Depart
ment where it's influence was equal
ly efficient.

of the bill authorizing a commission

pertaining to the public utilities

every description.

Amboy backed by the organization is
due the plan of combining all the
boards of trade Of Middlesex Coun-
ty with the idea of cooperation In
securing suitable factory sites for in
dustries seeking location.
In its efforts to locate industries
the Board of Trade answers perhaps
one thousand inquiries a year, each
of which it follows to a definite on
