Paterson  and  Its  Prominent  Men 


in  Paterson  Evening  News  in  pre- 
senting this  lunik  of  its  prominent  men 
does  so  with  a  full  confidence  and  an 
increasing    belief    in    the  growth   and 

future  (it   this  community. 
I  he  growth  and  progress  of  anj  cit)  is  controlled 
by  the  energy,  ability    and   integrit)   of  its  citizens 

anil  in  presenting  to  the  newspapers  of  the  COUntrj . 
in  this  form,  a  photographic  record  oi  the  men  who 
help  to  make  Paterson  worth  while  the  News  feels 
that  no  special  word  of  commendation  is  necessary. 
The  men  who  look  out  from  these  pages  tell  a 
facial  story  of  ability  and  determination  which 
requires  no  comment. 

Of  the  City  of  Paterson  itself  there  is  much  that 
may  be  said  and  should  be  said  to  correct  the  false 
and  erroneous  impressions  that  have  been  circulated 
broadcast  in  the  years  gone  by. 

Paterson  the  "Lyons  of  America"  is  one  of  the  most 
attractive  cities  not  only  in  New  Jersey  but  in  the 
Last.  The  citj  is  situated  seventeen  miles  north- 
west ot  New  York  City,  and  the  Passaic  River, 
along  which  it  borders  for  several  miles,  forms 
its  boundary  line  on  the  east  and  north.  The 
city  is  built  on  a  plain,  which  is  surrounded  on  the 
west  and  north  by  high  hills,  a  portion  of  it  occupy- 
ing the  higher  land  along  the  upper  course  of  the 
river  where  it  breaks  from  the  hills  and  with  a 
descent  ot  seventy  teet  makes  its  way  to  the  level 
of  the  plain.  In  fact,  the  real  reason  for  the  found- 
ing of  the  city  here  is  found  in  the  abundant  water 
power  afforded  by  the  falls  and  the  rapid  current 
along  this  portion  of  the  Passaic. 

Among  the  means  adopted  in  this  country  soon 
after  the  close  of  the  Revolutionarj  War  for  the 
establishment  and  development  ot  honest  and  pro- 
gressive  industries  was  the  "Society  for  Establishing 
I  seful  Manufactures."  This  society  received  its 
charter  from  the  legislature  of  the  State  of  New 
Jersey  in  the  year  1 791.  In  looking  about  the 
state  for  promising  locations,  where  conditions  were 
equally  favorable  for  mills  and  the  growth  of  a 
town,  this  site,  by  the  "Great  Falls  of  the  Passaic," 
was  decided  upon  by  the  society.  ( )ne  of  the  insti- 
gators of  this  movement  was  Alexander  Hamilton, 
who  was  intensely  interested  in  the  foundation  and 
promotion  of  a  system  of  American  manufactures, 
and  who  is  often  mentioned  as  one  of  the  original 
founders  of  the  City  of  Paterson.  Be  that  as  it 
may,  the  real  aims  and  purposes  of  its  establishment 


have  been  its  constant  realization  for  one  hundred 
and  sixteen  years,  while  the  wisdom  and  good 
judgment  of  those  who  selected  the  site  has  never 
been  questioned. 

The  first  factories  established  in  Paterson  were 
for  the  manufacture  of  cotton  cloth  and  garments. 
Woolen  and  paper  mills  soon  sprang  up,  and 
Paterson  was  fairly  launched  on  a  most  successful 
industrial  career.  Samuel  Colts  here  began  the 
manufacture  of  his  famous  revolving  pistols.  The 
first  locomotive  made  in  Paterson  required  sixteen 
months"  labor  and  was  turned  out  in  1 8^7.  Here, 
in  1840,  the  beginnings  of  the  great  silk  industry 
were  made  by  John  Ryle,  a  young  Englishman.  The 
lasting  appreciation  of  this  step  is  seen  today  in  the 
beautiful  relief  bust  in  the  reading  room  of  the 
public  library,  suitably  inscribed,  "John  Ryle, 
Father  of  the  Silk  Industry  in  Paterson."  From 
very  modest  beginnings  the  manufacture  of  silk  has 
grown  into  vast  proportions.  In  addition  to  the 
silk  industry.  Paterson  has  become  in  the  last  twentv 
'.ears  the  center  of  important  manufacturing  con- 
cerns, and  at  present  ranks  first  in  the  United 
States  in  the  value  of  the  annual  product  of  its 
silk  mills.  In  1902  a  most  disastrous  conflagration 
swept  awav  the  very  heart  of  the  business  section, 
raging  with  unsubdued  fury  for  two  whole  days. 
In  less  than  a  month  the  greatest  flood  ever  known 
to  the  Passaic  valley  came  upon  the  city  and 
hundreds  of  the  poorer  classes  were  once  more 
driven  from  their  homes.  The.  next  year  still 
another  great  flood  occurred,  causing  heavy  damage 
and  loss  of  property.  In  spite  of  these  hardships, 
however,   the   city   is   prosperous   and   progressive. 

The  growth  of  Paterson  has  been  remarkable, 
considering  the  fact  that  it  has  been  steady  and 
consistent,  with  no  "mushroom"  or  boom  charac- 
teristics. It  shows  a  healthy  and  satisfactory 
increase  and  every  indication  is  pointing  to  its 
continuation.  In  i860  Paterson  had  a  population 
of  19.586;  in  1870,  33,579;  in  1880,  51,031;  in 
1890,  78,347;  in  1900,  105,171;  today  the  number 
reaches  130,000,  and  the  location  of  the  city,  ad- 
joining, as  it  does,  the  great  metropolitan  city  of 
New  York,  insures  a  continued  increase  both  in 
population  and  wealth.  Paterson  is  growing  at 
the  rate  of  almost  3,000  a  vear  and  we  cannot 
doubt  that  in  a  few  short  years,  with  the  perfected 
transportation  facilities  that  will  be  offered  hv  the 
electrified  railroads  and  the  increased  trollev  facili- 
ties,  its   population   will   be   doubled.

Especial  pains  is  taken  in  the  education  and 
training  of  teachers,  for  the  board  of  education  has 
found  bj  experience  that  the  teachers  educated  in 
the  schools  of  the  citj  arc  best  equipped  for  all 
purposes.  In  the  High  school  preparation  for 
college  or  a  business  training  maj  be  acquired,  and 
students  arc  being  sent  each  year  to  all  the  Leading 
eastern  colleges  after  graduation.  Three  regular 
Courses  are  maintained,  besides  a  large  number  of 
elective  studies:  The  English  and  classical  course, 
with  about  five  hundred  pupils,  the  scientific  and 
mechanical  arts  course,  with  three  hundred  and 
twenty,  and  the  commercial  course,  registering  two 
hundred  and  fitt\  ,  making  a  total  of  nearly  eleven 
hundred   pupils. 

The  Free  Public  Library  is  a  source  of  much 
pride  to  the  citizens  ot  Paterson.  It  is  managed  bj 
a  board  of  trustees  on  progressive  lines  and  is  a  popu- 
lar and  successful  institution.  The  total  number 
ot  volumes  on  its  shelves  is  31,000,  and  this  is 
being  increased  b\  about  2,000  each  year.  After 
the  disastrous  fire  in  1902,  which  destroyed  the 
original  building,  the  present  edifice,  the  Danforth 
Memorial  Library  building,  was  erected  at  a  cost 
of  #200,000;  it  is  a  magnificent  structure  and  a 
credit  to  the  city.  The  number  of  persons  borrow- 
ing books  regularly  is  about  12,000  a  year,  while 
the  circulation  of  the  books  loaned  for  home  use  is 
nearl}  1 18,000  per  year.  Great  use  is  made  of  the 
children's  library  and  the  newspaper  reading  room, 
where   special   attendants  are  employed. 

The  religious  life  of  the  city  is  healthy  and 
active.  There  are  eighty  churches,  chapels  and 
missions  divided  among  the  different  denominations. 
The  most  prominent  are  the  Presbyterian,  Episco- 
palian, Methodist  Episcopal,  Dutch  Reformed  and 
Roman  Catholic.  There  are  also  five  Jewish 
Synagogues.  All  these  are  active  and  support  large 
memberships.  The  churches  of  Paterson  are,  for  the 
most  part,  magnificent  structures,  lending  beauty 
and  grace  to  the  general  aspect  of  the  city.  There 
are  also  Young  Men's  and  Young  Women's 
Christian  Associations,  each  occupying  a  large  and 
handsome  building;  they  have  large  memberships 
and  are  active  and  helpful  in  their  work  among 
the   young. 

There  are  two  large  and  well  supported  hospitals, 
the  General  Hospital  and  Saint  Joseph's;  also  an 
isolation  hospital  for  contagious  diseases,  which  is 
considered  a  model  among  institutions  of  its  kind. 
Prominent  among  the  charitable  institutions  must 
be  mentioned  the  two  orphan  asylums,  an  (  >ld 
Ladies'  Home  and  a  children's  day  nursery  with  a 
building  which  was  the  gift  of  Mrs.  Garret  A. 
Hobart. 

The  railroad  and  transportation  facilities  of 
Paterson  are  unsurpassed.  There  are  four  rail- 
roads passing  through  the  city,  the  Delaware,  Lacka- 
wanna &  Western,  Erie,  New  York,  Susquehanna 
&  Western,  and  the  Paterson  &  Ramapo  railroads. 
One  hundred  and  sixty-nine  trains  each  day  serve 
to  keep  Paterson  in  pretty  close  touch  with  the  rest 
of  the  world.     Situated  but  thirty-five  minutes'  ride 


from  New  York,  with  the  low  commutation  rate 
of  $6.00  a  month,  the  benefits  ot  rapid  transit  are 
thoroughly  appreciated  In  the  citizens.  There  is 
trolle)  connection  with  Jersej  City,  Hoboken,  \™ 
York  and  the  surrounding  country,  while  practically 

the  whole  of  the  citj    is  made  accessible  In    its  eightv 

miles  of  street  railways.  This  excellent  combina- 
tion ot  steam  and  electric  roads  affords  ample 
transportation  facilities  to  all  sections  ,,t  the  state 
at   small   cost. 

The  banking  business  is  well  represented  here;  in 
tact,  the  financial  status  of  tin  1  itj  is  one  ot  signifi- 
1  me  and  a  source  ot  pride.  There  are  nine  bank- 
ing institutions,  three  ot  vvhiih  are  National  hanks, 
with  a  combined  capital  and  surplus  fund  of  more 
than  $2,000,000;  two  arc  savings  banks,  the  oldest, 
the  Paterson  Savings  institution,  having  deposits  in 
excess  of  $10,000,000;  there  are  four  trust  compa- 
nies, all  strong  financial  institutions  commanding 
the  respect  and  confidence  of  the  people  of   Paterson. 

The  list  of  clubs  and  societies  of  the  city  is  a 
long  one  and  on  it  may  be  found  mention  of  about 
every  fraternal  order,  representing  the  social  as  well 
as  the  intellectual  life  of  the  city. 

Paterson  is  able  to  boast  of  an  unusually  large 
number  of  handsome  and  substantial  buildings. 
Among  the  most  important  should  be  mentioned 
the  City  Hall  and  the  Court  House,  each  erected 
at  a  cost  of  $500,000,  the  Post  Office,  costing 
$150,000,  and  the  Hamilton  Club  House,  $100,000, 
the  finest  of  its  kind  in  the  state.  On  the  square 
adjoining  the  City  Hall  are  found  five  .modern  and 
COStlj  hank  buildings  and  several  large  office  build 
ings  ot  modern  construction. 

The  people  of  this  city  are  well  supplied  with 
the  news  by  means  of  twelve  newspapers,  of  which 
number  four  are  daily,  the  "Call,"  a  morning  sheet, 
the  "Guardian,"  the  "News"  and  the  "Paterson 
Dailv     Press."    all    evening   papers. 

Paterson  has  three  beautiful  and  well  kept 
parks,  Eastside,  Westside  and  V  reel  and  Avenue 
parks,  presenting  pleasing  examples  of  landscape 
gardening  and  affording  very  picturesque  views. 
They  are  located,  one  at  either  end  of  the  town,  on 
the  Passaic  River,  and  the  third  on  Vreeland  Avenue. 

A  general  system  of  sanitary  sewers  thoroughl) 
drains  the  city,  consisting  of  over  fifty  miles  of  the 
best  sewer  construction.  The  streets  are  a  source 
of  much  civic  pride,  being  wide  and  well  kept, 
with  full-width  sidewalks.  There  are  two  hundred 
miles  of  paved  streets  in  the  city,  on  the  greater 
part  of  which  macadam  has  been  used;  the  busi- 
ness streets  always  excite  much  favorable  comment 
from  visitors,  the  principal  ones  being  Main, 
Market,  Ellison,  Broadway.  Grand  and  West. 
The  refuse  of  the  city  is  well  cared  for.  The  fire 
department  is  well  equipped,  trained  and  housed, 
the  paid  force  being  ably  augmented  by  volunteer 
companies  in  different  sections  of  the  city.  The 
police  force  is  vigilant  and  ample  for  the  protection 
of  the  lives  and  property  of  its  citizens;  if  consists 
of  one  hundred  and  twenty-five  men.  with  a 
mounted      squad,      detective      department,      pension

for   the   employment   oi    more   people    in    Paterson 
today;  it  is  the  place  for  business;  it  is  the  place

GARRET   AUGUSTUS   HOBART

BARBOUR.  WILLIAM. — The  fame  "f  an  old  Scotch  family,  whose  name  has  been  associated 
with  the  manufacture  of  linen  in  Scotland  and  Ireland  for  generations,  has  been  perpetuated 
in  this  country  by  one  of  the  direct  descendants  of  the  house.  He  is  William  Barbour. 
who  now  heads  the  Barbour  Flax-Spinning  Company,  of  Paterson,  which  is  as  well  known 
in  this  country  as  are  the  institutions  in  Europe  that  were  established  by  his  ancestors. 
Although  the  Paterson  plant  was  established  by  the  father  and  the  uncle  of  the  subject  of 
this  sketch,  he  is  largely  responsible  for  the  tremendous  growth  of  the  business. 

Mr.  Barbour  was  born  in  New  York  City.  September  !'.  1S4T.  and  is  a  direct  descendant 
of  the  Barbours  of  Paisley.  Scotland.  John  Barbour  of  Paisley  moved  to  Lisburn,  Ireland 
in  1768,  and  in  1784  founded  what  is  now  the  largest  linen  thread  manufacturing  establish- 
ment in  the  world. 

The  advent  of  the  family  in  this  country  was  in  1S40,  when  Thomas,  father  of  the  subject 
of  this  sketch,  and  a  descendant  of  John,  came  to  New  York  in  1840  to  be  the  American 
agent  for  the  Lisburn  concern.  He  continued  as  such  until  1S64.  when  together  with  his 
brother,  Robert,  he  established  a  thread  works  in  this  city  under  the  name  of  the  Barbour 
Flax-Spinning  Company. 

William  Barbour  was  educated  in  a  private  school  in  Paterson  and  in  Newark,  at  the  High 
Street  Academy.  Finishing  there,  he  spent  two  years  in  Hanover.  Germany  and  a  year  in 
France  studying  languages,  after  which  he  returned  to  Paterson  and  entered  his  father's 
business. 

While  he  is  now  the  president  of  the  concern.  Mr.  Barbour  also  heads  several  other 
business  institutions.  He  is  president  of  the  Hamilton  Trust  Company  of  Paterson,  and 
of  the  Linen  Thread  Company  of  New  Jersey,  vice-president  and  director  of  the  United 
Shoe  Machinery  Corporation  and  a  director  in  the  following:  Hanover  National  Bank. 
New  Y'ork;  United  States  Smelting,  Refining  and  Mining  Company;  American  Cotton  Oil 
Company;  Safety  Car  Heating  and  Lighting  Company:  First  National  Bank  of  Paterson. 
Paterson  Savings  Institution  and  the  Paterson  Safe  Deposit  and  Trust  Company.  He  is 
also  connected  with  several  water  companies  in  New  Jersey  and  is  a  governor  of  the  Society 
for  the  Establishment  of  Useful  Manufactures  of  Paterson. 

Mr.  Barbour  has  always  taken  an  active  interest  in  politics.  In  1884  he  was  a  delegate 
to  the  Republican  National  Convention  at  Chicago,  that  nominated  .lames  G.  Blaine  for 
President,  and  he  has  been  a  delegate  to  every  Republican  National  convention  since.  He 
was  a  close  personal  friend  of  President  McKinley  and  of  many  other  celebrities.  He 
participated  in  the  nomination  of  Governor  Griggs  for  that  -office,  and  later  made  a  member 
of  the  personal  staff  of  that  official  with  the  rank  of  Colonel.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Union 
League,  Republican  and  Merchants'  Clubs  of  New  Y*ork  City,  and  of  the  Hamilton  Club 
of  Paterson. 

On  November  S.  1SS3,  Mr.  Barbour  married  Julia  Adelaide,  daughter  of  John  H. 
Sprague,  of  New  Y'ork  City.  Their  children  are  Thomas,  Robert,  William.  Warren  and 
Fritz  Krupp.  The  latter  was  named  after  the  famous  German  gun  maker,  who  was  a 
warm  friend  of  the  subject  of  this  sketch.

nothing  hut  a  collection  of  settlers'  huts,  has  there  been  a  time  when  the  name  Van 
Winkle  has  not  been  numbered  among  the  most  prominent  men  of  the  community.  This  is 
especially  so  today  and  probably  the  best  known  of  the  men  of  that  famous  family  is  Edo  Vita

BRANDES.  JULIUS. — Paterson's  greatness  is  entirely  the  handiwork  of  her  prominent  men 
Many  have  contributed  in  their  own  way  to  the  upbuilding  of  the  Silk  City.  Probably  no 
man  has  done  more  than  Julius  Brandes.  who,  although  not  a  "native  son,"  has  been  closely 
identified  with  the   affairs  of  Paterson  for  more   than   thirty  years. 

Mr.  Brandes  was  born  in  Hanover,  Germany,  in  1851.  and  was  educated  in  the  public 
schools  of  that  country  After  some  experience  in  the  dyeing  establishment  of  his  father, 
he  completed  an  apprenticeship  with  a  chemical  works  in  Bremen.  Then  in  1S6S  Mr. 
Brandes  came  to  this  country  and  worked  in  textile  centers  in  several  parts  of  the  I'nited 
States.

QUIGLEY,    JOH N. — A    man    who   has    an   enviable   record   by   serving    the   citizens   i>f    the    city 
of  Paterson.  well  and  faithful,  is  John  Quigley,  who,  up  to  the  time  of  the  publication  of  this 

I k.   served    eight   years   as   Building   Inspector.     The    State   legislature   has    recently    | 

a    bill  to  apply  the  tenure  of  office  law  to  the  office  of  Building  Inspector,  and  it  is  probable 
that  Mr.  Quigley  will  continue  his  good  work  iu  the  city  service  for  many  years  to  come. 

-Mr.  Quigley  was  born  in  Paterson,  and  received  his  early  education  in  the  local  public 
schools.  He  served  an  apprenticeship  as  a  carpenter  and  after  working  at  that  trade  for 
some  years,  he  went  into  business  for  himself  as  a  contractor.  He  continued  in  this  line 
of  work  for  fourteen  years,  and  had  charge  of  the  construction  of  many  residences  in  Pater- 
son  and  other  nearby   towns. 

In  1907  the  Board  of  Aldermen  appointed  Mr.  Quigley  to  the  position  he  now  occupies. 
He  has  given  universal  satisfaction  in  the  capacity  which  his  experience  as  a  carpenter  and 
contractor  so  well  qualified  him  to  fill. 

Mr.  Quigley  is  vice-president  of  the  Thomas  Jefferson  Democratic  Club  and  a  member  of

BIMSON.  JOHN.— Patersoh  is  fortunate  in  having  at   the  head  of  its  poliee  department  one  of 

the    most    able    and   experienced   men   in    the   state.     He    is    John    Bimson,    f    the    most 

honored  and  respected  men  in  the  city.  Mr.  Bimson  had  on  June  ::.  1!H4.  la-en  connected 
with  the  department  fortj  two  Mars  and  he  has  well  and  capably  filled  the  office  of  Ch  t

COYLE.  THOMAS  L.— Although  still  a  young  man,  Thomas  L.  Coyle.  of  Paterson,  occupies 
one  of  the  most  responsible  positions  in  the  city.  It  is  probable,  however,  that  never  In 
the  history  of  the  city  has  the  position  been  more  creditably  filled  and  what  Mr.  Coyle  lacks 
in  years  he  makes  up  in  ability,  energy  and  close  attention  to  duty. 

Mr.  Coyle  is  Chief  of  the  Paterson  Fire  Department  and  on  his  shoulders  rests  a  respon- 
sibility that  few  would  care  to  be  burdened  with.  He,  however,  has  uiven  his  body  and  soul 
to  the  work,  with  the  result  that  the  citizens  of  Paterson  feel  that  they  are  very  fortunate 
in   having  so  able  and  conscientious  a  man  filling  so  important  a  position.

TRACEY.  JOHN.— When  Mayor  McBride  in  19111  decided  that  the  Paterson  Police  Department 
should  have  a  detective  bureau,  he  looked  over  the  members  of  the  force  for  the  man  best 
fitted  to  put  in  charge.  His  selection  was  the  subject  of  this  sketch.  John  Tracey,  who  was 
then  a  sergeant.  That  the  mayor  was  correct  in  his  selection  may  lie  seen  from  the  fact 
that  Mr.  Tracey  is  still  at  the  head  of  the  bureau  and  is  giving  the  utmost  satisfaction.

was  educated  in  St.  John's  Parochial  school  and  afterward  learned  the  boiler  making  trade. 
working  in  the  local  shops.  He  was  also  at  one  time  employed  by  the  News  Printing  Com- 
pany, in  the  circulation  department. 

He  was  appointed  to  the  police  force  on  October  7,  1895,  and  for  good  and  faithful  service 
he  was  made  a  sergeant  on  June  15,  1906.  His  next  appointment  was  in  June  17.  19111. 
when  he  was  promoted  to  his  present  position.  Mr.  Tracey  has  under  him  in  the  detective 
bureau,  eleven  men  and  the  department  has  proven  a  valuable  adjunct  to  the  force. 

Mr.  Trace)  was  formerly  a  well  known  figure  in  amateur  theatrical  circles  in  Paterson. 
He  was  for  seventeen  years  a  member  of  St.  John's  Church  Choir.  He  is  a  member  ol 
the  Entre  Nous  Club  and  used  to  participate  in  the  amateur  performances  given  by  that 
body.     Mr.   Tracey  also  belongs  to  the   Knights  of   Columbus. 

The  subject  of  this  sketch  was  married  on  July  9,  1896,  to  Miss  Mary  Jane  Kane,  of

the  legal  profession,  a  man  of  scholarly  attainments  and  wide 
experience,  is  Abram  Klenert.  Judge  of  the  Court  of  Common 
Pleas  of  Passaic  County.  Having  been  in  public  life  for  a 
number  of  years  lie  bus  filled  other  positions  of  honor  in 
Which  he   has   proved  his   executive   ability   and    tact.

teenth   year    as    Canity      Clerk     of      Passaic      County,      is     a      well 

known  figure  in  Paterson  and  Passaic,  especially  in  political 
circles.  His  administration  of  the  affairs  of  the  office  ol 
County  Clerk  has  given  universal  satisfaction  during  bis  long 
term  of  office.  This  may  be  seen  from  the  fact  that  when  he 
was  re-elected  the  second  time  in  1906  he  was  the  only  man  on 
the  Republican  ticket  to  be  victorious  So  better  evidence 
than  this  could  be  given  of  the  confidence  deposed  in  him  by 
his    fellow   citizens.

PELLETT,  FRANK  E. — Although  a  lawyer  of  note,  Frank  E. 
Pellett.  of  Paterson,  has  won  additional  recognition  in  another 
respect.  There  is  probably  no  other  man  in  this  section  of 
the  county  who  is  regarded  as  better  qualified  to  pass  on  the 
matter  of  investments  This  is  proven  by  tin-  fact  that  he- 
has  had  the  financial  affairs  of  hundreds  of  properties  in  his 
charge  and  he  frequently  lias  an  aggregate  of  as  tiff 
$500,000  intrusted  to  his  care.  The  ability  with  which  he 
handles  these  matters  ami  the  general  satisfaction  that  results 
to  all  concerned  has  won  for  him  the  confidence  and  gratitude 
of  hundreds   of  persons

second  year  he  was  re-elected  to  the  position.  Although  his 
experience  in  that  legislative  body  has  been  brief,  he  already 
wields  great  influence  there.  He  is  chairman  of,  or  member 
of,  some  of  the  most  important  committees  in  the  Senate.

RENO  WNED  merchant  king  once  said: 
"The  few  advertisers  who  grow  to  he  really 
great  are  those  who  never  lose  the  habit  of 
close  inquiry— the  men  who  never  forget  that  with 
each  day  comes  some  new  thought,  some  new  method. 

The  same  man  also  said:  uThe  greatest  force 
developed  in  modern  merchandising  is  the  eminently 
sound  practice  of  offering  an  ''Extra  Inducement*  to 
attract  and  hold  cash  trade. 

Those  who  follow  the  wise  advice  of  the  merchant 
quoted  and  make  close  inquiry,  will  find  that  as  a 
business  getter  the  method  originated  nearly  eighteen 
years  ago  by  Thomas  A.  S perry  has  made  the  06?M" 
Green  Stamp  a  popular  household  word  throughout 
the  United  States. 

Its  remarkable  hold  upon  the  public  in  not  only 
Paterson,  but  everywhere,  lies  in  the  high  value  and 
excellence  of  the  Premiums  which  the  Little  Green

205  Market  Street,  will  convince  any  merchant  and— we  know — 
will  benefit  the  customers  he  serves.

d  No  city  can  thrive  without  street  railways,  electricity  and  gas. 

CI,  The  city  needs  the  utilities  as  much  as  the  utilities  need  the 
city.  One  cannot  exist  without  the  other;  their  interests  run 
parallel. 

d  Railway  lines  are  to  the  community  ■what  the  circulatory 
system  is  to  the  human  body  —  the  arteries  through  which  the 
life  sustaining  currents  flow.  Clog  the  blood  vessels  and  the 
health  of  the  individual  is  seriously  affected.  Retard  trans- 
portation facilities  and  the  growth  of  the  city  is  effectually 
checked. 

d  Electricity  and  gas  are  rapidly  supplanting  the  coal  piles  in 
all  industrial  centres,  or  rather,  they  are  concentrating  the  coal 
piles,  and  changing,  and  distributing  the  energy  in  more  con- 
venient and  more  economical  forms. 

d  Besides  being  the  most  widely  used — practically  the  only — 
illuminating  agencies  for  public  and  private  lighting  in  cities, 
electricity  and  gas  have  become  indispensable  power  and  fuel 
factors  in  the  industrial  and  commercial  life  of  the  day. 

d  Low  cost  electric  power,  in  unlimited  quantities,  available 
twenty-four  hours  a  day  is  to  a  city,  an  asset  which  attracts 
industrial  plants  and  encourages  their  development. 

d-Low  priced  gas  for  industrial  and  domestic  purposes  is  an 
advertisement  of  great  drawing  power  for  any  community  that 
holds  out  an  invitation  to  all  persons  to  locate  their  businesses 
and  make  their  homes  within  its  confines. 

d  Paterson  has  all  the  advantages  of  railway,  gas  and  electric 
services  of  a  character  -which  will  compare  favorable  with  similar 
services  rendered  any  place  else  in  the  country,  and  these  advan- 
tages  are   helping   Paterson  to    grow   in  population  and  wealth.
