How Realty Men View Exhibit

public exhibition of Newark's indus
trial efficiency.
Anything that will stimulate an in
flux of visitors to Newark who are inter-
ested In Industrial details cannot fail to
vindicate itself and prove beneficial in
the largest measure to the community.
While those who deal In real estate
naturally expect to receive advantages
from whatever adds to the city's reputa-
ton as centre of business, everybody
without exception, also receives benefit.
Therefore. It is my contention that all
should join hands In spreading broad
cast knowledge Of Newark. And when
the exposition Is over continuous pub
licity should be the watchword.
Let me say another thing. We are
deficient In hotels of the first class. One
of our chief drawbacks in inviting Wis
itors to our city Is the lack OF hotel ac-
eommodations. As this lack will be ac-
centuated during the period of the ex-
position, 1t may have the effect of Great
ing the necessary sentiment In favor of
the immediate erection of another big
hotel.
Newark IS ideally situated as a conven-
tion city, but 1t Is idle to consider the
question until hotel accommodations are
greatly improved.
''The Industrial Exposition will be a
success. but 1t will be valuable in a
still higher degree II our people are
brought to realize that metropolitan
Newark requires a metropolitan hotel
Philip J. Bowers, OF Philip j. Bowers
& Co., said:
Nothing that l can recall in Newark's
history seems to have opened the same
sort of opportunities that the Newark
Industrial Exposition does. Using as a
basis the publicity already given aud the
direct knowledge Of Newark that thou
sands of visitors Will gain, it looks as II
immense returns should come to the city.
1t is now just matter OF Keeping our
claims everlastingly before the public.
The real estate people are going to be
largely benefited by the favorable prog
ress OF the city. Whatever aids the gen
eral progress aids the real estate man.
Therefore the exposition is of value to
all real estate interests.
1T Is doubtful IL we realize the full
destiny of Newark. When the expod-
tion has closed we may be in a better
position to Judge our own possibilities
But whether that is the case or not we
know that the only way to acquire the
fullest measure of success as an indus
trial city is to bring our claims before
the world
Abraham Feist manager of Feist &
Feist, is heartily in sympathy with every
movement to push Newark to the front
He thinks the exposition great step
forward in advertising the city. His op-
timism was expressed In these words:
Our faith in the proposition is shown
In the fact that our firm has taken space
at the exposition. We intend to furnish
real estate and other information to all
who apply. | look upon the enterprise,
80 ably furthered by the Board of Trade,
as the best possible thing for Newark
just at this time. 1t is a magnificent ad.
vertisement for our city, which, like in.
dividuals, must on occasion have re-
course to printers ink.
There is no doubt that the attention
Of manufacturers and business men
throughout the country has been focused
upon Newark for some time past This
exposition forces upon them numerous
facts that they cannot afford longer to
ignore. Many manufacturers In other
States are seeking new locations. This
we know from actual experience. But
under prevailing conditions in this coun-
try they have been In no hurry to make
a change.
Now, however, Newark offers a very
practical inducement for them to visit
us and get acquainted. The opportunity
of seeing under one roof, without trouble.
a concrete demonstration of Newark's
industrial potency. should prove a great
magnet. am sure 1t will so prove.
Through the knowledge obtained by the
visitors, Newark will surely receive ac-
cessions both of capital and popula-
ton. Therefore. real estate interests
are bound to secure benefit from the
exposition.
''In general, an immense amount of
good should accrue from this attempt to
exhibit our city as entitled to first rec
ognitlon in the world of industry. The
beneficial effects of the propaganda will,
In my opinion, be felt for many years
to come"
DIR. Morris Rachlin, of the Union
Building Company. had this to say:
Nothing that the city can do will
give It more prestige than an exposition
by which the general education OF the
people, both within and without the city,
may be improved along Industrial lines.
Money spent in practical demonstra-
tion of Newarks preeminence industrial
ly is we'll spent OF course, II comes
back indirectly in generally increased
prosperity. An exposition financed by a
municipality or by board of trade is
one of the modern methods of adver-
Using. Every business secures benefit
from this advertising, and real estate is
no exception.
"As Newark becomes known guam
tity to the mass of people throughout
our country, and the slogan Newark
Knows How presses for recognition
there is no doubt about our expanding
prosperity. This exposition. think, will
have big influence. The business com
munity of Newark will learn many
things Improved means of production
are certain to attract much attention,
with the result that new ideas will gain
currency and new channels for the de-
velopment of these ideas will be opened
SO II seems clear that from whatever
angle the situation is viewed the expo
