with that of the past twenty years?
Surely the most inexperienced OBJ
server must know hat the growth in
the next twenty years will far sur
pass the growth during the twenty
years just passed. The increase in
population from $50, 200 will be more
than twice as great as the increase
from 125. 000. At the rate Newark is
now growing the population twenty
years from now will be double what
1t Is today.
This shows that 1t is an absolute
certainty that in a few years from
now the city of Newark will extend
for miles in all directions over land
that Is now absolutely u~ndeveloped
and hat can be purchased by any
one for almost nothing compared
with the price 1t will bring later on.
In the surrounding territory of
Newark, within d fve-cent trolley
ride from the heart of the city, lots
can be purchased for less than 800.
The best feature of this is that any
one a make an investment in them,
as these lots can be bought on the
monthly-payment plan for a few dol
lars down and a small payment of a
few dollars each month.
In the Western cities, having a
population about the same az New
ark lots the same distance from the
centre of the city and within a five
cent trolley ride, bring many times as
much as lots similarly located near
Newark can be bought for. The flu

One of the suburbs of Newark Of
fering the greatest possible oppor-
tunities for investment is Bloomfield,
One New York company, the William
b. McLain Realty Company, of AZ
West Thirty-fourth street, Manhat-
tan. has several tracts of land in
Bloomfield. They are selling lots
there as low as $65, on terms of So
down and So a month.
Everyone has heard people tell
about lots that they could have pur~
chased a few years ago and how fool
ish they were not to, and how much
money they would have made If they
had done so, and how they followed
other peoples advice instead Of act
ing on their W good judgment, etc.
Now. the peculiar thing about this
is thai 1t only occurs to a few peo-
pie that the opportunities that exist
right now are greater than they ever
were before, and that the growth of
the future is sure to outstrlp the
development of the past Those who
realize this and buy land now will
make the profits and reap the bene-
nts that are bound to come with the
growth and spread of the city. The
others who do not realize it will be
in the class who will tell their chill
dren about the chances they lost
and what they could have done If
they had only Known.

OPPORTUNITIES
THAT co BEGGING

One of the things that have lately
been called to the attention of many
people in Newark is the fact that
outsiders, and especially the people
of New York, realize more than
Newark people themselves the great
opportunities there are for invest
ments in real estate in and around
Newark. Many of the great real es-
tate bargains have been taken by
outsiders, while people living right in
front of them for years never real
lied their value.
One of Newark's most prominent
men remarked a few days ago how
few Newark people there are who APP
preciate the great future the city has
before it and the vast extent that it's
territory is sure to occupy. Everyone
knows of the various sections in and
around Newark, where land values
now run from $500 to $1,000 and more
a lot. where the same land twenty
years ago could have been purchased
by anyone for a few dollars. Now
the question is how will the growth

but we intend to carry the move
ment through if the citizens continue
to express such interest in it as they
have already manifested"
IAN organization that will look
after the interests and improvements
of this section ought to be formed,
and 1 gladly signed the petition said
Meyer Kussy, president of the West
Side Trust Company.
Alfred Popik, a real estate owner
on the "Hill' and the originator of
the petition, said: "a letter signed
by a committee composed of John C.
Eisele, e. C. Bataille, president of the
American National Bank; Meyer
Kussy, Henry Aurnhammer and
myself, will be sent to all the mer-
chants calling upon them to appear
at a meeting hat will be held az
Kreuger's Auditorium next Thursday
evening, when the association will
be organized and plans formulated
that will be presented to the Board

The demands are for better pave

ing of the name of Springfield venue
to Market street and better illumina-
ton.
