ANDERSON AVE-, LITTLE MORE Than
A C0WPATH TWENTY YEARS AGO,
NOW PAVED BUSINESS STREET
Taken Over County Road in 1912; Surface Without
Concrete Base, 1s Feet Wide Laid in 1913; New
Roadway Inch Concrete Base With Inch
Asphalt Tops Finest Business Street in This Section.

There is no public highway in Cliff
history than Anderson avenue. Old
timers along the avenue like ]. M.
Murphy and Fred Dyer can remember
back to the time when the road was
little more than cowpath and at that
time called Central road.
Only twenty-four years ago this now
famous artery of traffic was without
sidewalks and'in wet weather the mud
was often knee deep. The only build
ings from Walker street in Cliffside
north, were the old Fehring home at
Nelson avenue, Jim Murphy's trim
mill, the John Scullion Hotel at the
intersection of Gorge road, the Blake
Hotel, where Thomas Henry's yards
are now and the three Keyes homes,
where the Moose club, the Mute and
the Taterka homes now stand. No
trolley line crossed Anderson avenue
at that time.
West Grantwood was practically all
woodland where only one or two pio-
neers had ventured to build homes.
But one path known as Highland ave-
nue. led through the woods in the West
Grantwood section, then through a
cornfield near Ridgefield and up over
the hill. Lawton avenue now follows
the same course as the old Highland
avenue.
Anderson avenue was taken over as
county road in 1912. In 1913 sur
face was laid eighteen feet wide
without concrete base. AS the
street sprang into prominence as a
business thoroughfare and the traffic
began to double and triple each year
the road began to wear until after
much patching in 1924 it had outlived
tits usefulness and the Freeholders

Local Officials to
Be Congratulated

Mayor Joseph Mar1ni of Cliffside
Park, Mayor Alexander Marmet of
Fairview, and Councilmen Joseph
Woodcock of Cliffside and O'Connell
of Fairview are to be congratulated
upon their successful effort to have
the County Freeholders pave thirty
feet of Anderson avenue instead of
only twenty-five feet, as is customary.
The officials of both boroughs were
in full sympathy with this fine inn
provement and did everything to en-
courage it, with the finished job testi-
flying to the result of their labors.
The granite curbs on each side of
the avenue and five feet of the road
way on each side was laid by the two
municipalities through which the i'm
provement runs. Local ordinances
were passed to provide for this work
and the main part of the cost is to be
assessed against the owners of the
property benefited.

Local Patronage
Was Appreciated

The merchants on Anderson avenue
are very grateful to the large number
of local people who inconvenienced
themselves to patronize the various
stores during the construction of the
new roadway
The decrease in business was keen
ly felt, especially by the garages and
auto supply men, who depend largely
upon transient trade. While they do
enjoy large local trade, there were
times when it was impossible for any
car to pass in front of their door.
The contractor expects to complete
the entire job on or about November 1
and then the large number of cars
that used the highway before the de-
tour was made necessary will be spin
ming through again. The opening of
the entire stretch will relieve the very
heavy traffic now using Palisade ave-
nue. and Gorge road.

he opened the Anderson avenue
branch which is presided over by
former Mayor John C. Cadien.
The Lueder's block from Lafayette
to Knox avenues is the largest single
block of stores and offices and Mr..
Lueder was one of the first to fully
appreciate Anderson avenue as a log
ical business center. In the Lueders
block is Harry Wells tationery and
sport shop, the Grantwood Variety
store, Mr.. Lueder's office, the Grant
wood bakery, Albert DeMatteo's Edge
wood Meat Market and several other
stores with living apartments over
head. Mr.. Vell's has the agency for
the United Cigar store in Grantwood
and carries a complete line of sport
ing goods, stationery, candy, soda, ice
cream and greeting cards. The Grant
wood Variety Store, of which Geo.
Seiferth is proprietor, is about the
only store of it's kind in the borough
and he surely lives up to his motto of,
1--WE Sell Most Everything" Mr.. Sci
ferth has enlarged his store once
since he started in business here sew
eral years ago and he is at present
planning another alteration that will
give him much more space. Albert
DeMatteo about year ago bought
the meat business of Henry Lueders ON
the corner of Knox and Anderson ave-
nues and just recently moved to one
of the new stores in the Lueder's
block near Lafayette avenue The
Grantwood Bakery is now owned by
Mr.. Hesser who bought out Earl Mills
last winter.

opposite the Lueder's block and is the

began to consider a permanent i'm
provement
AS is customary, it was their plan
at first to pave only twenty-five feet.
The borough was to see that all sub
surface connections such as water, gas
and sewers were provided for to avoid
the necessity of breaking any part Of
the road after the job was done. 1t
was also part of the borough's work
to supply and put in granite curbing.
The roadway being forty feet wide,
the county's part of the paving work
would leave nine feet ON each side
which could remain as dirt shoulders
or be paved at the borough's expense.
Through the efforts of Mayors
Joseph w. Marini of Cliffside Park
and Alexander Marmet of Fairview
as we'll as Councilmen Joseph Wood
| cock of Cliffside Park and O'Connell
of Fairview, the Freeholders agreed
to pave thirty feet instead of only
twenty-five feet and the boroughs
| passed ordinances to pave the re-
naming ten feet, the main part of
the cost being assessed against the
property benefited.
The improvement is nearly finished
and a large section is now open to
traffic. This open section is from the
Fort Lee borough line to the Grant
wood Lumber Company. The con-
tractor expects to have the entire job
done on or about November 1.
The engineer for the county's work
was Roscoe P. McClave, county engi-
neer, and for the borough's part, the
borough engineers, McClave and Nc
Clave. The general contractor on the
job was John ]. McGarry of Edge

the Scullion hotel while the Blake no.

Eypper and Beckman, Inc. have sold

FOSTER !. BUNK Err.


The sudden death of Foster J. Bun
ker, Saturday evening, April a at
his home here, was a great shock to
his many friends. The deceased, had
he lived until May %, would had

from which he so far recovered as to
be able to attend to his usual duties
during the week.
Mr.. Bunker was born in this town,
and spent his life here. Honest and
industrious in all his dealings, with
a cheerful disposition, he made many
friends, especially among the
Younger folks. He leaves one son,
Edward, a granddaughter, Orice L.,
a grandson. Gordon F., half-sister,
Mrs. Stillman G. Bunker, and several
nieces and nepheWs.
The funeral was held at the home

selections, beautiful, Isle of Some
where" and "He Knows 1t AL" The
bearers were four nepheWs. The
school children attended in a body,
accompanied by their teacher, Halice
Robinson. The large number present
and the beautiful floral offerings
spoke eloquently of the high esteem
in which he was held.

afternoon. It's just TO be a porch
and yard party. Nothing very fancy

Il know a game that's fun 10 play
on the porch" Geraldine spoke up.
It's very pretty for a prize game.
Get a wooden barrel hoop and cover
it with crepe paper. Then hang it
on a string from the top of the porch.
Suspend a small bell from the center
of the hoop, and your game is fixed
up. except that you need bean bag
to play with.
Get every one lined up a fair
distance away from the hoop, and
then give each one a chance TO throw
at the bell. The first one to ring the
bell five times gets q prize
That's a good one nodded Lu-
cile. Can you think of something
else-something that's more active?"

Ted Works His Good.Luck Stone.

What a funny pebble, It5s as fat
as anything and has hole right
through the center of it,
It's a lucky stone" replied old
Cap'n Mathers. looking up at Ted
from beneath his bushy white eve
brows. Anybody can tell you're
green at the sea ashore IL you never
saw one of those before"
How is it lucky?" Ted wanted to
know.
You twirl ii around on your little
finger" answered the Ca plain SOL
EMMY. ''and when YOU get it to whirl-
ing fast you suddenly close your eyes
and toss the stone over your left
shoulder, making wish. And your
wish is bound to come true. Shucks.
It's wonder you hadn't heard of that
before"
Ted looked at the little stone in his
hand Then he looked back at the
old Captain, perched on the over
turned rowboat on the sand. II know
what I'd wish, all right" Ted re-
marked wistfully. But when the Cap
tain questioned him, he only shook
his head. He didn't like to admit to
his uncle that he was lonely, pinine
for other boys to play with. He had
seen only a few other boys at Lawlor
Beach. where he was visiting the Cap
tain, and those few had been inter
ested in each other and had not paid
any attention to him. Ted was not a
boy who made friends easily.
He wandered slowly down the beach
after a while, the stone still in his
hands. He finally sat down, idly
leaning against big boulder. Then,
on sudden impulse, he started twirl-
ing his stone with hole in It. He
closed his eyes. threw the stone
quickly over his left shoulder. and
