ments for savings and each n is more prosperous today than the original
bank wa in the beginning. In other words, the financial growth OF the
city has been such that the business done by the new institutions that
have been started has lot hut the older institutions in the least 1t is
another striking illustration of the vast volume OF money brought into
this community by the nw industries which have in every case meant
added prosperity.
Perth mboy is a typical industrial city. It gets its life blood from the
enormous plants that pay ut thousands o dollars o their" employees every
week. The more industries the city has the greater will be the city. The
depending upon those industries :or a living, md the prosperity of the
people means prosperity for the city a S a whole.
The shutdown of big plant, either because of hard times o on
account of strike, is Immediately felt in the stores and throughout the
city generally. Rents get behind, bills accumulate and everybody gets a
knock. When it is realized what other cities ar doing tic help their in
dustres, knowing how the prosperity OF the industries help the communi-
ty, it is apparent that Perth Amboy, in view Oft the citys growth because
of it's industrial development, has good reason to stand by her industries
and do everything possible to help get them back o their feet following
the depression from which the country is just emerging.
