TO HONOR SENATOR STEVENS
AT MONMOUTH DINNER

TRENTON, Dec. 1S:-Although
William A. Stevens, of Monmouth,
was beaten for the senate presidency
in the recent caucus by the members
Of the majority who are friendly to
United States Senator Edge, the
'home folks think just as much of
him, if not more, and to prove 1t are
planning to give him a monster
testimonial dinner at the Coleman
House, Asbury Park, on Friday
light, January 4, shortly before he
tegins his new term in the upper
branch of the legislature.
Although being arranged under
Monmouth county auspices tr1ends
of the majority leader of the 1928
senate from all parts of the state
are to be present and for this pur-
pose the affair is to be kept free OF
any partisan flavor so that Demo-
Gratis and Republicans may CO.
lnlngle in honoring the particular
guests of the evening.
Among those already listed as
down for toasts are Senator Clarence
e., Case, of Somerset county, who
stood shoulder to shoulder with
Stevens in the road fight last winter
former Judge Robert Carey, of Hud-
son county, who is sometimes men
| toned as a possible g~ubernatorial
contender in 1925, Republican Ma
tional Committeeman Hamilton Is.
Kean, of Union county, and Mrs.
Lillian r. Feickert, of Somerset, vice
chairman of the Republican State
Committee.
Arrangements are being made for
five hundred diners. In the last cam
paign Stevens carried Monmouth for
reelection by an overwhelming ma
iority in the face of the fact that
Governor Silver went into the county
and urged the election of the Demo-
cratic senatorial candidate.
Stevens backed the Silzer program
in the last legislation for a new deal
in highway construction in this state
although half of his own senate ma
iority were pulling the other way
lie withstood all kinds of pressure
and even refused to yield to the per-
sonal en~treaties of Senator Walter
+. Edge, who made a memorable
Monday night visit to the state house
to whip the members of his own
party back into the fold.
The Monmouth man paid Tor TINS
independence when the recent eau
Gus choose Firman NJ. Reeves, OF
Cumberland county, to be the senate
president for 1924, although Stevens
was the logical choice because oil

NEW BANK BUILDING IN SMITH STREET

and Perth Amboy city bonds and
has been a big assistance to many
local institutions when they have
been in need of financial aid. Its
growth has been deserving and the
people of the city of Perth Amboy
appreciate what the company is do
ing in advancing their welfare.
In describing the new building of
the Raritan Trust Company from
the plans which have been accepted
1t is shown that upon entering the
main banking room through the i'm
posing entrance so thoroughly pro-
tected with heavy wrought iron grill
gates, one finds a commodious public
space filled up with all the convent
ences of a modern bank.
On the left are the offices of the
president and also the ~treasurer's
department., and the various teller's
cages and the bookkeeping depart
ment will be installed on the east
side of the building.
Special attention has been given
to the construction of a Large mod
ern fire-proof, burglar-proot, mob
proof vault to be equipped with
steel safe deposit boxes by the Rem
ington Sherman Company, the larg-
est builders of modern steel vaults
and safes in the country, and all
conveniences will be afforded to the
public in the use of the vault for
safe deposit business, and several
special coupon rooms VIII be IN
stalled for customers private use.
The public space will be equipped
with regulation banking outfit, and
the floor of the public space Will DC
of i~ngrained marble effect. The re-
mainder of the main banking room
floor is to be devoted to the use OF
clerks department with toilet rooms
etc. Beyond the main banking room
in the second floor will be the dlrec'
tors room, overlooking the banklne
room which will have its own tolie'
rooms, closets, etc.
The third story will be devoted &c
storage purposes and janitor's quar-
ters. -,
Finally, in considering the build
ing as a whole, the n Idea in the
mind of the owners and the aren't
tect has been to produce an idea
bank building, for the erection oil
buildings of this description mean
much to the city of Perth Amboy.
The success of the financial 1nstl'
buttons of a city is a good barometer
to show the growth of the city, and
the stability Of its progress.

When the Raritan Trust Com
pany began business eve years ago
in the quarters which the company
now occupies, at the corner of State
and Fayette streets, probably the
most sanguine believer in its future
would not have predicted that in so
short a time Its business would eX-
pand to such an extent that its d.
rectors have decided to erect a hand
some building upon the property
purchased for this purpose by the
Raritan Trust Company, and is To-
Gated at 107 Smith street.
The city and people of Perth Am
boy and the officers of the Raritan
Trust Company are to be c~ongratu-
lated upon the architecture and
building achievement eXempllhed In
the building to be erected as shown
in the accompanying illustration be-
cause it establishes the new and
higher standard for the construc-
ton and architectural treatment or
the modern bank building devoted to
the requirements of its w business
and at the same time giving the
greatest possible comfort and con-
venience to the public t~ransacting
business within its doors.
The structure, the equipment, the
materials and furnishings in all
these respects, the builders of the
Raritan Trust Company can
claim and equal, and in fact in many
instances a superiority owe similar
institutions in this country.
BY a happy combination Of cir
cumstances, the owners, the archi-
tect (Mr. Benjamin Goldberger) and
our local contractors all stand united
in their determination to obtain the
best possible results and neither
time, care nor talent will be spared
in order to make the achievement
satisfactory.
Opinion may differ as to the COM
plete success of some of the details,
but none can doubt that on the
whole the standard will be shown as
the highest o~btainable, and the re-
suit need not fear comparison with
any building of its kind in the
largest cities of the country.
The Raritan Trust Company was
incorporated June 90, 1916, and
commenced active business in it's
present quarters at corner of State
and Fayette streets on the 23rd day
of October, 1916.
BY courteous treatment and pleas
ing of tr|ansacting all its
affairs the depositors have been at
tracted and business increased, and
for some time past the directors of
the company have been considering
the advisability of building a perma-
rent home for the transaction of its
business.
The growth of the Raritan Trust
Company is best shown by COM
parison of the total capital, surplus
and deposits. The total assets at
this time amount to $1,719,43S.10.
The Raritan Trust Company has
successfully marketed thousands OF
dollars worth of Middlesex county

CLOVER AND GRASS MIXTURE

There has been considerable break
ing away from old notions in the
matter of seeding for pastures and

very conspicuous success. Clovers are
subject to so many vicissitudes that
good stands are no longer obtainabIe
on many farms. On the other hand,
Just those conditions which may be
adverse to cloyers may be very favor
able to certain hnds Of grasses, and
this has led to the sowing of mixtures
of several clovers and grasses, in
which grasses predominate
