1919 the Institution moved into it's
new building at the corner of Maple
and Smith streets. At that time 1t
was impossible to hold a reception
and House Warming so to speak,
and the Board of Managers have de-

new building at the same time, and

was thought that the best way to cele-
brate the double event was TO have
the banking house thrown open to the
public for minute inspection, at which
time the managers will be present and
mingle with and meet those who
place their money in their keeping.
Therefore tomorrow, the building will
be open to the public from the hours
of three TO FIVE and from seven to
nine o'clock, and onyone will be made
welcome. Blu that isn't all, listen.
On July 2, the Managers have planned
for another "Open House and have
invited the employees and officials of
Abe other banks of the city to visit
their home and see where they spend
their time during the rush of the days

The charter was granted the Perth
Amboy Saving Institution in March,
1869. and the Institution began bust
ness with one clerk and a borrowed
safe In the building now occupied by
DIR. John l.. Lund in High street. The
clerk received the large salary of SO
per month. Today, the Institution
employs FIVE people and has one of the
most modern vaults in the city. In
1872 the building corner of Smith and
Rector streets vas erected and the In
stitution moved into this building
where II remained until March 1918
when the handsome new building,
where the Institution is now located
was ready for occupancy.
The Institution now has deposits

THE REAL MENACE.

It is not organized labor which
threatens the future of this country
Neither is it the Unsuitable greed OF
capitalism.
Without organization labor would
be underpaid and underfed.
Without the capitalist there would
be no adequate avenues for the en-
ployment of labor.
Both must survive.
But the menace with which we must
cope is the alien parasite who has
fastened himself on organized labor
and is daily eating out the heart Of
the great American republic.
These radicals from other lands are
in a majority Of cases not even citi-
zens Of our country. They are not
loyal to our institutions nor to the
true interests of the organizations to
which they have attached themselves.
They are alien agitators- and des-
troyers-nothing more. they preach
their pernicious doctrines and prey
upon the suceptibiliites of others with
the sole idea in view Of creating dis
cord and disruption for their own in
dividual advantage. They would dis
place the intelligent leadership Of la
Dor organizations and usurp the seat
of authority for themselves. And
they are succeeding in these nefarious
undertakings to an alarmingly Won
derful degree.
Violence is their only effective wea-
pom. and this they employ to the linn
It Of their possibilities in their cam
paign Of brutality and intimidation.
They are shrewd enough, however,
to see that the responsibility for their
devilishness is laid at the door Of or
ganized labor, and by this means es-
cape the individual punishment which
is their just due.
The American people have been
bully ragged by these aliens until pa
tence is no longer a virtue.

srnment. the law abiding elemert Of

BUYING AT HOME THIS YEAR.

Many good citizens have approved
the plan of keeping prosperity at
home. by, trading with the local mer-
chants.
Many thousands of dollars are
spent annually in Christmas shopping
in this community, and all indications
point to heavier buying this year than
ever before.
Cur dealers have prepared for it by
laying in stocks calculated to please
any fancy, and we are assured by
them that these goods will be priced
down to the very limit of economy.
From week to week the advertising
pages of this paper will contain the
choicest offerings Of our live mer-
chants.
A careful reading Of the ads each
week will give the purchaser valu-
able line on what and where to buy,
and will be one Of the most valuable
aids of all in the Christmas shopping.
This is our town.
1t is what we have made it in the
past, and it will be what we make it
in the future.

AND THE GOAT PAYS.

When the president appointed price
fixing committees in various sections
OF the country it was assumed that
these committees would take some
definite action toward checking the
rampant profteering which is ravoo-

Here Is a sample.
In Chicago they have price fixing
committee, and subcommittee on
coal. On that subcommittee are nine
members-three operators, three
wholesalers and three retailers-alI
people who SELL COAL, and are nat
urally interested in squeezing the con-
S1f1er to the limit of squeezibility.
Whether or not this farcical condi-
ticn is typical of the country as a
whole, we do not know. But even a
wooden Indian would have more
brains than to expect relief from a
committee composed Of the very in
terests that have been doing the
boosting.
The country expected much from
the price fixing machinery.
1t has received many glowing prom
ises and is waiting for fulfillment.
But waiting is virtue-when ne
cessity makes it such.
And the consumer is so virtuous
from long waiting that he is prime

less than we expect.

with the jewels and silks Of the East.

traded with Trebizond in its event
full past and everyone in turn waxed
fat and prosperous and fell, until the
Turk came to control the Dardanelles
in 1453, and now Russia seeks to own
the Black sea.
1t was because the Ottoman choked
other traders that Columbus, the son
of proud, rich Genoa, sought an all
water route to the East.
When the first PROV from Europe
grated on the shore OF the China sea
and found the coral reefs of India.
then began to dwindle that caravan
trade which for ages beyond number
had brought all the Orient, all Cathay
westward in the shortest way Then
was doomed the camel traffic. It still
persists; long strings Of camels from
the Orient still tread the streets OF
Trebizond. but there is a railway that
brings goods to Batum, in Russian ter
ritory, faster than camels can travel
and Batum has the trade.
But Trebizond is still metropolis,
and the dust OF Trebizond which is
disturbed by the war strife carries
with It the romance of the race and
brings up q mirage to the fancy that
includes the brave figures of past as
old as humanity.

Than a cycle of Cathay.

Cathay. for all that, have tremendous

them and read their story. It is the
