ne increasing importance OF rail-
SADIE junction is more and more evil
dent each month that passes. With
out knowing it, Palisade is being
made really famous by the advertis-
ing it is getting from the Junction. D
While no record is available at this
time of the great number of cars that
pass this point daily, it easily runs
well up close to 500 day. If an
average of twenty, passengers per
car can be named, it will be seen that
more than 10000 people per diem
pass the Palisade Junction, and a
good percentage of this number make
transfers there, In one direction or
another. 1t is in this way that the
advertising value to Palisade is de-
rived from the Junction" People
who get off and wait a little while
for their cars, naturally look around,
ask questions, etc., and pretty soon
the number of those who know the
location and the good, bad or indif-
ferent qualities of Palisade have had
the story sent home for future di-
gestion and interest. Of course, there
is only one side, the good side, to Pail
SADIE. AT least, if there is, no one
would admit it.
Like all towns and villages through
which railroads run, they always
shovs their worst front along the car
tracks! 1t is so in Palisade, though
this is not intended as the slightest
reflection to any one who might live
along the lines of road that center
here. EPalisade does not "shoW off"
on any of the lines that cross at the
Junction except one. The PfsaSads
Line runs through Abbot boulevard,
of course, and this fine thoroughfare
happens to be one of the best in the
village with many fine homes 'front.'
ing the car line, either on the west
or east sides. The DR.. Hunters, the
Sagers, the Tamses, the Hollingers,
the Stulpnegels, the Steeles, the
Borgsteds, the Willmanns, the Browns,
the Purdons, the Alves, the Darbys,
and several other well-known families,
all front on the Palisade Line.
AS for the nationalities represented
among those who daily pass Palisade
Junction, they embrace about all the
peoples of the whole earth, Judging
from the many languages spoken
there.
A gentleman living in Palisade, and
who himself speaks several languages
said this week in speaking about the
Junction crowds:
"New York, of course, speaks a
polyglot tongue, but l doubt if it has
much on Palisade. One may hear at
the Junction several idioms of Greek,
Assyrian, French a plenty, Irish,
English, German, Austrian in quanti-
ties, Italians in droves, Russian by
the jugful, Norwegian, Swedish, Den
MARKHAM, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabian
and many other languages from al
most every part of the world. 1t all
proves that this section of New Jer-
sey, principally Bergen county, is
fast being populated with a hetero.
geneous mass of residents from all
over everywhere. This is bound to
make a final fine class of citizenship
for it has always been found that 9
good class of residents is developed
from the better element of peoples
that have come to this country tx
| make it their home. Of course, Pail
SADIE does not have a great deal Of
this admixture of foreign population
for the reason that the restrictions
here while not forbidding them, make
the prices rule higher than in mos
places and most of this away-off
yonder population is seeking the
moderate priced home"
