The Sudden Rise of
Palisade Junction
To Place In the Sun

Until 1922 Palisade avenue and the
trolley line was the business center
Of Palisade with the Beckmann store,
Joe Wolpert, Phil the barber, and the
post Office all located there. Klein
had drug store where the Palisade
Drug Store is at present and later
the business was purchased by julius
Smolivit.
On New Years eve in 1921 a fire
destroyed the drug store which, at
that time was the only business
building at the Junction, but soon
Mr.. Klein erected the present build
ing with room for the new drug store
and eight other stores. The post Of
flee took one of them and then began
the influx of merchants to the juno
ton which is now the only business
center. Beckmann's moved up, so

store in the Benedetti Building and
the Junction was complete. Today
it has drug store, two grocery

goods store, a cleaner and dyer, the
post office, barber shop, tailor, a
photographer, a bank, United cigar
store, one delicatessen and another
one will open on or about May 1.
The Klein building settled the prob
lem of populating one side of the
Junction, but the other side contained
only the Benedetti building and the
William Smith building. The valu-
able tract on the corner was owned
by the Palisade Theatre Corporation
who hoped some day to erect large

Englewood Has
Splendid Stores
AS Well as Homes

When the stranger thinks of Engle-
wood he ordinarily thinks of beauti-
full homes and wealthy people. 1t is
quite logical that one should for Engle-
wood indeed has many beautiful
homes and many wealthy people; in
fact, it's fame in this connection is al
most nationwide.
Englewood has something else that
is beautiful as we'll as homes, and that
is beautiful stores with beautiful
stocks, for the discriminating folk of
that suburb must have distinctive
merchandise, and their merchants pro-
vide just that.
The majority of families in Palisade
and Grantwood have autos, and every
motor ride to the north usually leads
through Englewood, so her merchants
get a good deal of transient patronage
from this section, for here live a class
of people who also appreciate fine
things.
EngleWOod stores are not expensive
stores simply because they are in
Englewood. They are moderate in
price. For instance, Constantine's Ba-
Zaar on Palisade avenue. If you
would know more about this store just
turn to page 6 and read the story
of their growth and the advertisement
Livingston's on "the main corner"
is the Paradise of the gift seeker and
the lover of good books and things

tender and fitting sentiments for all
occasions, books for youngsters and
adults, gifts for all occasions are only
a few of the hundreds of interesting,
novel, useful and practical things they
carry. Livingston's is not a high

Anderson Ave. Is
The Most Travelled
Road in Grantwood

The most heavily traversed road in
Cliffside Park is Anderson avenue,
and along this busy street is another
of the borough's growing business
section, with representatives of over
a dozen lines.
Nestled near the Grantwood Lumber
Company is the auto supply store and
gas station of j. S. Diehl, who knows
motor cars from A to 2, and who is
as pleasing a chap as you would want
to know. Diehl believes in advertis-
ing, and every week he has some
message for the car owner in the
Palisadian. Look for it.
Right on the corner of Lawton and
Anderson avenues you will see large
structure, unless its proprietor Is
standing in front of it, because "Bill'
Michaelsen is pretty big himself.
Even if he is in front in back of him
you will see one of Bergen county's
finest garages, rendering a service
that is SO complete that it could not
be more so, and associated with the
garage, in fact, right in the garage is
the Grantwood Battery and Electric
Station. No, that's not all! Next
door is the accessory store. Again

Yes. a very beautiful and compIete

Along the Car Track
Has Strong Appeal
AS Business Center

Where the Palisade carline runs
through Cliffside and Grantwood in
Cliffside Park forms natural center
where people come to take the trolley,
and many merchants in Grantwood
were quick to realize the advantage
it would be to them to have their
stores located in that particular Sec
ton. The development of the stores
along the cartrack proves that their
Judgment was sound.
The very first establishment is only
a few feet from the Palisade line, and
that is the Marion Restaurant facing
on Marion avenue, where the genial
Fred Stohl acts as host to hundreds,
and in the summer when the park is
open one could safely say thousands.
Further down at Grant avenue is the
meat market of James Hernon, and
only a total stranger in either Pali-
sade or Cliffside Park would need an
Introduction to him, for twenty years
ago he was ON the job in Beckmann's
prior to that he was in the same line
of business in New York City, in the
Gramercy Park section, where he
served many prominent families. For
six years Hernon's has been a popular
market in Grantwood, and he is de-
serving of the popularity he enjoys.
On the corner of Lawton avenue
and the car line is most progress
sive firm of electrical contractors,
known as the Bergen Electric and Ap-
pliance Company. They not only do
contract work but have a fixture and
appliance store with show room that
is really extraordinary, and the pro-
prietor is a pleasant hammered young

County's
Stores Rival Those
Of New York City

When the residents of Cliffside
Park and Palisade desire to shop in
a larger center it is not necessary for
them to go to New York for just a
few miles south in Hudson county
are some of the finest stores in the
state of New Jersey, most of them on
Bergenline avenue in West New York
and Union Hill and in West Hoboken.
There is really no difference between
the towns as the boundaries are po-
litical boundaries only and no one
would know when they left West New
York and entered Union Hill for it
is just like one big city, and the same
is true. of West Hoboken.
One of the largest and finest of the
West New York stores is the Roth
Seuferling Company at GAO Bergen
line avenue. This was formerly the
L. V. Roth Company. They deal in
furnishings for the home and the
quality of their goods is beyond criti-
cism. This store has liberal credit
plan and families who wish to enjoy
the benefits of good furniture may do
so and pay as they earn. Both Mr..
Roth and Mr.. Seuferling are very fine
gentlemen and take a real interest in
the customers, aid them in making
proper selections and make their visit
pleasant from every standpoint.
Two of the leading furniture stores
of Union Hill are the establishments
of George V. Denzer and William
Gulden. A story about each of these
firms appears elsewhere in this issue.

Main Street Is Fort
Lees Main Highway
And Business Section

Fort Lees business section consists
chiefly of the stores facing On Main
street and there are a lot of them
representing practically every line of
merchandise. Only the two banks of
Fort Lee are represented in the ad-
vertising columns of this issue be-
cause our solicitors lacked the time
to interview the individual merchants.
Fort Lee business men are a par
ticularly aggressive group and they
have one of the most wide awake
Boards of Trade in the entire Hill
top section, of which Mr.. Setter, a.
local baker is president. Their Board
of Trade has done as much as any
other body in the borough to put
Fort Lee on the map and to encourage
industry and trade within the Dor.
ough limits.
The Trust Company on Main street
is thriving financial institution that
enjoys the confidence of its many de-
rositors. They have grown steadily
since the doors were opened to the
public year or so ago and just re-
Gently purchased the building where
the bank is at present located, thus
assuring themselves of a permanent
home at this location.
The First National Bank is an ex-
ceptionally strong institution with
the phenomenal total of $1,900,000 in
deposits, which is very unusual for
a bank in a town the size of Fort
Lee. Mr.. Fulton Hardman, the
cashier, is soon to be made president
of the Bergen County Bankers As
sociation, a signal honor but one
which he we'll deserves, for he is a
very admirable gentleman of great
ability and his friends are legion.

Palisade Avenue
Avery Long Street
With Many Stores

Palisade avenue in Cliffside Park
is not only one of the main thorough,
fares but one of the main business
sections as well.
At the borough line near the Pali-
sades Amusement Park there is a
store or two which are busiest, of
course, when the Park is open during
the summer months.
A stretch of Palisade avenue for
a number of blocks is strictly a resi-
dental section and at Lawton ave-
nue., Grantwood, business houses are
again in evidence. The block of
stores from Lawton avenue to Colum-
hia avenue are all comparatively new
and include a grocery store, a deli
catessen, meat store, a stationery
and paper store, the real estate office
of Duffy and Thomas and the Grant
wood Hand Laundry.
The business section extends ON for
about two blocks past Columbia ave-
nue. and the second group of business
houses include a drug store, F. Cor
RADIO the tailor, H. Muck's delicates-
sen, the Grantwood Auto Supply Co.,
the shoe repair shop of L. Corrado,
H. Lang's meat market, hardware
store and several others.
The stores end abruptly after two
blocks and little less than mile
down starts the greater business Sec
ton of Cliffside where Palisade ave-
nue. is literally lined with stores on
each side from Jersey avenue to a
point below Cliff street.

Hammond had stuck at her hus-

continues, "have been handed in al

John Hays Hammond, resuming the
story, "was trying to account for

couldn't believe there never had

whole Uitlander population. For
months they searched the mines for
more, even deepening the shafts
through solid rock"

BY CHARLES p. STEWART
NEA Service Writer

Johannesburg must lay down
its arms to save Jameson's life.
That was the Beers ultimatum.
"The truth was" John Hays Ham
mond, veteran mining engineer,
went on with his story of the Trans
vaal Uitlanders' rebellion against
Dom Paul, that Jameson had sur
rendered on condition that his life
and his mems lives be spared. In
reality they were in no danger. The
Beers hid this, aiming to make us
give up our only means of putting
up fight. Sound strategy, per-
haps.
But Sir Hercules Robinson, the
British high commissioner from
Capetown! He knew of the trap
%oo, and let us walk into it. Rep
resenting him, Sir Jacobus de Wet
British agent in Pretoria, and Sin
Sydney Shippard, prominent in
British colonial development, ar
rived in Johannesburg. They urged
US to yield. They dwelt on Jane
sons peril. In Sir Hercules name
they promised that mot a hair o!
our heads would be injured They
didn't metnion what might happen
to our necks."
The next day, "Arms arc bein de-
livered up" reads an entry in Mrs
Hammond's diary, described by Lord
Bryce as "the most graphically vivid
and direct of all accounts of one OF
the most curious and interesting cpl
sodes in modern history"
