site is an adventure of hope and
thrills and high expectation, upon
which an increasing number of
families embark each year. Why
shouldn't they? The country is the
place to bring up healthy children in
home of their own which is adapted
to the means of the family provider.
Rapid transit and autos efficiently
link the home and the office. The
press and the transit cars are filled
with glowing pictures in color and
words setting forth the beauties and
advantages Of scores Of Develop
ments."
Lets go"-"All right, where shall
we start"
Right here is where the people who
think ahead, get ahead of those who
save their gray matter for second
thoughts-of regret, too often. They
thoughtfully look for a community
with promising future, but without
inflated values, and so protect their
investment. Transportation has a
lot to do with value, present and fu-
ture, therefore, thinking folks will see
the great promise of advancement in
North Eastern New Jersey. In
few years the Hudson will be no more
barrier than the East River is now.
Thinking people do not go out and
build in the woods, for there is no
economy in that They go where the
pioneering has been done by people
who have established the kind OF
neighborhood we all want our children
to grow up in. There must be good
schools, substantial church activities,
convenient modern hospitals. These
may be found in two-score towns in
North Eastern New Jersey.
Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, the
City explorers flock into the suburban
towns. AS they ride in train, or troll
ley or auto, seeing the we'll paved
highways and streets, the lawns and
trees, the endless variety of comfort
able looking homes, do they stop to
think about what is under those pave
ments and lawns, or look for wires
along the way they travel?
If people forget these things they
may miss comfort health and secur-
ity, for without proper utility serv-
ice no community and home can en-
dure.
Think ahead! Is there gas for cook
ing or lighting? Is there electricity
to light the home and do the laundry
work? Is there telephone service?
There certainly is each of these in
northeastern New Jersey, and the
service is good
Have we forgotten anything? How
about water? Is the supply pure and
safe? Are the mains large enough to
give good fire protection? Is the sup
ply adequate for years to come? Why
these are questions our thoughtful
friends would ask in the beginning
Years ago, when candles and coal
oil lamps furnished light, when wood
was the chief fuel in the country, be-
fore gas or electricity or telephone
had ventured far out of cities, people
built homes where they could get
good water
Today, with everything we have to
make us comfortable we can look
back and say truthfully that suburb
an development has been the best
where the water supply has been safe
and adequate.
Forty-five communities in north
eastern New Jersey have a water sup
ply which is collected in a watershed
protected against pollution, stored in
lakes, cleared, filtered, sterilized
against germs, and pumped under
pressure right to the house faucets
and fire hydrants through over $50
miles of mains. The plant is mod
ern, still growing with the needs of
service, can keep up with the increase
of population for quarter of a CEN
tury at least, and supplies water of a
quality so safe that the government
located Camp Merritt within reach
of the supply and sent thousands of
tons of the water to France in the
Leviathan and other ships.
Mr.. and Mrs. Home-seeker, there
is much to look forward to in North
Eastern New Jersey. If you go there
and stay, you will have much to be
thankful or.-Hackensack Water
