TDAMRAPO HAS THE LOVELIEST 
JL sites, and the most charming surroundings of 
any suburb near New York.' Situate facing- 
the Bay of New York and the Narrows, the 
views of marine scenery are absolutely’ en 
chanting. Here is evei a changing panorama 
of passing vessels, life and activity sparkle upon the 
waters, bay and sky blend the beauty of their gor¬ 
geous painting, such as not even an Italian lake scene 
can surpass. 
Health— The death rate is only 12 in 1,000; in New 
York and Brooklyn nearly treble. 
Wealth— All the principal railroads south and 
west terminate at Jersey City—the Erie, Penn. Cen¬ 
tral, Midland, Central New Jersey, the New National 
and West Side. Taxes are only half the rate for New’ 
York or Brooklyn, and are so low that property will 
double every few years for twenty years to come 
Here is the proof: The rate of increase in New York 
is less than two per cent.; Brooklyn, nearly Ave per 
cent while the rate of Hudson County is nearly fif¬ 
teen per cent. 
With these advantages, it is only natural that this 
section should offer the gi'eatest inducements to in¬ 
vestors, both large and small. So come and select 
your sites, and build your house, or buy a house on 
installments, $10 monthly, only from desirable parties 
taken, and after a few hundred dollars are paid lot 
buyers are loaned money for building purposes. Call 
on owner, C. E. HOE, 65 Wall, 4 Pine streets, or Pam- 
rapo, N. J., which place is only 23 minutes from foot 
Liberty street, N. Y.; fare in all but 7 cents commuta¬
