There is nothing improbable in

PERTH AMB0Y
IS BOOMING
Is Leading Shopping Center
for Central New Jersey and
Staten Island

Perth Amboy merchants are look
ing forward to the greatest business
era in the history of the city, ac-
cording to a survey made by pro-
gressive merchants, whose interest
10 at heart to increase the shop
ping facilities Of the city. Not only
are the shoppers of Middlesex and
Monmouth counties flocking to
Perth Amboy. Tottenville and the
lower end of Staten Island con-
tribute a great deal towards making
this city as large a shopping CEN
tire as that Of a double population.
Trains, boats. trolleys and buses are
bringing in great crowds from every
part of central New Jersey. who are
making their purchases here.
The demand for increasing busi-
ness is becoming more evident every
day since additional facilities are be-
ing planned to accommodate the
throng of buyers.
The transportation system leading
to this city has improved to such
an extent that farmers. who for
merly took their shopping through
mail are in a position to visit the
local stores much easier than in the
past years, when suburban trans
p~ortation was greatly handicapped.
Some of the merchants describe
the increase Of shoppers to Perth
Amboy as the result of expansion OF
the average business stores here. 1t
is q known fact that the shoppers
in previous times did not secure the
things they came for. Only in the
past few years the merchants. real
izing the demand, have increased
fhas~ otnrLc 70 rono ritxy CD nc RI on
able to give immediate service to
their buyers.
From a general survey of business
conditions it is found that Perth
Amboy is becoming more and more
a greater market for buyers. The
results can be easily seen from the
many new stores, industries that
have recently added to their plants
in the city, thereby giving a large
number Of people in the immediate
vicinity employment, whose salaries
are expended to a great extent
among merchants for food. clothing
and some of it remaining in the
local savings institutions.
Perth Amboy as a railroad ter
minal has also added much to the
prosperity and general business con-
ditionS. Over n hundred trains
daily transport the suburban resi-
dents to this territory, offering them
excellent service which is hard to
duplicate in other centres.
Many business heads, realizing
the call to bigger business, imme-
diately began to work upon plans
as to how to increase their business
and meet the demand. Large
stores, some of the modern types of
New York, became evident, sup
planting the local buyers with all
the service that is being offered by
larger business communities.
South Amboy, Fords, Woodbridge,
Metuchen and other territories have
been very helpful in bringing Perth
Amboy to its present successful
status of business activities, and
swelled the receipts Of the local
merchant.
However. things are not at an
end. New industries are being
planned, constructed, erected and
there is no doubt that Perth Amboy
sooner or later will become the
mecca for business shoppers in the
county, and possibly go far beyond
it's sister cities in the state.

papers Of Europe against prohibition
Of the use Of alcohol. The campaign
in the press would attempt to prove
