Legendary Locals Of Jersey City PDF Download

Excerpt from Jersey City of to-Day: Its History, People, Trades, Commerce, Institutions and Industries Jersey City Stands at the gateway of the Western world. All the great traffic that makes navigation on New York Bay and Hudson River one of the greatest single movements of commerce in the world passes through Jersey City on its way to the East from the Western plains, and back again to the farms and towns of the interior from the factories and mercantile centers of the Atlantic States. There is no limit to the volume of this great ebb and ood of trade. It will grow as the country grows, and the great expanse of the harbor of New York City will always be there waiting placidly to bear the burden of it. It never will be possible to choke Jersey City. Temporary Shortsightedness and momentary local advantages may divert this or that share of the hour's traffic, but the waters must flow where the channel lies and in the end it must all pass through Jersey City.
