Postcard collection of Maggie Land Blanck

Newark St. looking West, Hoboken, N.J.

Posted 1907

This image was taken from the intersection of River and Newark streets.

The large building (more or less in the center) of the image is the Hudson Trust Company and Savings Institute on the South West corner of Newark and Hudson streets (80-84 Hudson st - 51 Newark st). It is shown on the 1904 and 1906 maps of Hoboken.

To the left of the Hudson Trust building and on the south east corner of Hudson and Newark is a yellowish building that on the 1906 map is identified as the 1st National Bank. In another post card with a view from the opposite end of the block the building has a sign advertising "Law Offices". See below.

The grey building with the awnings and the red and black signs on the left side of the image was the Palace Hotel run by Charles Von Broock. He also had a restaurant and the yellow sign that can be partially seen reads "Restaurant". The Palace Hotel and Cafe, Charles Von Broock, Proprietor, 39 and 41 Newark St was indicated on the 1904 map of Hoboken. See Von Broock below.

On the south west corner of Newark and River was the Hoboken House with a yellow door. Between the Hoboken House and the Palace Hotel is a one story building.

On the right is a sign "Restaurant". There were several restaurants on the north side of Newark in this block. In 1910 there were restaurants or saloons at nos. 32, 34, 36 and 44 Newark street.

In July 1894 Peter Smith, a boy who worked at a restaurant at 32 Newark street Hoboken, was overcome by the heat and taken to St. Mary's Hospital where his condition was said to be critical (The Sun, New York) 30, July 1894 .

There was a restaurant at 44 Newark street as early as 1899. In 1903 Antonio Servanti had a saloon at 44 Newark "ave" [street].

Hamburg & Altonaer House, Ernst Bartels, Proprietor, 34 Newark Street was listed on the 1904 map of Hoboken.

In the 1910 census nos 32, 32 and 36 all had families where the head of household was listed as woking in a restaurant or caffe. They were:

  1. At 32 Herman Freund, age 32, and his family and quite a few boarders all of them with restaurant related occupations
  2. At 34, Earnst "Bartell" age 39, and family and quite a few lodgers most of them dock workers,
  3. At 36, Walter Ussler ???, and family, age 42, and quite a few lodgers, most of them firemen.
A Help Wanted Add of 1893:
"BARKEEPER - TRUSTWORTHY GERMAN AMERICAN, 24, best references; mix all drinks; hotel and liquor tore experience. Address Bartender 32 Newark st Hoboken, N. J. near ferry"
In April 1896 the Sunday law liquor law was violated by Fredrick Meinen of 36 Newark street. The fount door was wide open and business was carried on as if it were a week day.

1898 Ad:

WANTED - A waitress for restaurant; must speak German. 32 Newark ave., Hoboken."
In 1903 a man, unhappy with the coffee served at a restaurant at 32 Newark street Hoboken, got into a fight with the waiter, Joseph Greer. When Greer tried to throw the man out he bulled a knife and stabbed Greer in the back. Hans Franz, the cook, and Jacob Livithan, the manager, came to Greer's assistance and were also cut. All three were taken to St. Mary's Hospital.

In 1921 an ad listed 32-34 Newark street Hoboken as a 4 story brick office building at the corner of Newark and River streets 50x64.8.

See the next postcard.

In 1904 John J. Fallon, Counsellor at Law, had an office in the Hudson Trust Building.

In 1904 Harris, Geo. W. & Co., Bankers and Brokers, H. S. Wart, Manager had offices in the Hudson Trust Building.

In 1904 the Second National Bank was located at Newark and River Sts.

In a bicentennial celebration booklet of 1976 the Clam Broth House was listed as "World famous since 1899, 34 Newark street" and as founded by "Charles Serventi" located at 38 Newark street. Based on the 1910 census and other records Charles Serventi was born in 1883. He would have been only 16 years old in 1899. Therefor I suggest that the original restaurant was founded by his father, Anthony, and taken over by Charles. His brother, Andrew Serventi born 1882, also had a saloon in Hoboken in the early 1900s. The famous Clam Broth House was at 30-38 Newark street as listed in New York Magazine in 1970. It was known for its free clam broth, and saw dust and clam shell littering the floor. In 1930 it was raided by federal prohibition agents who seized large quantities of liquor and beer. For 70 years women were banned from its bar room. It became the focus of a women's rights lawsuit in the early 1970s. In 1972 a judge ruled that the male only policy violated state law.

The Hoboken House - John D and John F Klie - Corner of River Street and Newark Street (84 River street)

Brian Hart wrote in February 2015 to say his ancestors, the Klie family, had owned and operated the Hoboken House on Newark Street. His grandmother told him that the young man in the white shirt in the above photo (Newark Ave. looking W. from River Street) was Otto Theodore Klie, Brian's grandfather. Otto's brother is standing next to him.

Otto T Klie was born 6 March 1891 in Hoboken to Fritz J Klie, age 38, and Annie M. L. Lulleman age 29. Fritz and Annie were born in Germany. (New Jersey Birth Index)

I believe that the actual address for the Klie family was 84 River street. The building was located at the south west corner of River and Newark.

The Klie Brothers and Charles Von Broock

1897: The Klie Brothers owned a corner lot "covered by a building" at Newark and River streets. The building was four stories high with about 36 feet frontage on Newark street and 70 feet frontage on River street. The property was wider at the rear due to an irregular shaped lot. The first floor was used by the Klie brothers as a "liquor saloon". The upper floors was an apartment house. The legal title to the lot abutting the property on the west, and fronting on Newark street, was held by the Hoboken Land Improvement Company and was subject to a contract to purchase from that company held by Messrs. Ernst and August Schellan. There was a small one story building on the property. Late in February, 1895, Charles Von Broock purchased the contract from the Sehellans for $13,250, and immediately assigned it to the Klei brothers for the same amount. That lot was 28 feet 2 inches in front, 70 feet deep, and 21 feet and 6 inches in width in the rear, adjoining on the east side to the west line of the Klie brother's corner lot. This property was at No. 35 Newark Street. On the west of it was a lot known at No. 39 Newark Street (also owned by the Hoboken Land Improvement Company) At No 39 Newark was a four-story building. Between Nos. 39 and 35 Newark
"was a 12-inch brick party wall, extending back about 35 or 40 feet. On the rear of No. 39 was a wooden extension, 10 or 12 feet high, to the full depth of the lot, and abutting on the easterly line without any openings towards No. 35, and forming a fence or division between the two lots. without any openings towards No. 35, and forming a fence or division between the two lots."
Upon receiving the contract for No. 35 Newark street the Klie brothers immediately removed the old building and built a one story building with a basement. There was an understanding between the Klies and Von Broock that Von Broock should have a lease on the new building to run a restaurant. The Klies and Von Broock collaborated in the design of the building. The Klies and Von Broock had an elaborate agreement which involved in part: the amount of rent, the used of ladies "toilet" room, repairs on the building, water rates, subletting, the sale of all types of wine, beer and liquor as well as cigars by the restaurant except that which they prucahsed from the Klie brothers. The new building covered the whole lot to within ten feet of the rear of the property. The building was finished in June 1895.
"From that point a projection extended about 6 feet further, that is, to within 4 feet of the rear, but to the width of only about ?? feet, leaving on each side an open space of about 5 or 6 feet, which was excavated to nearly the depth of the basement, and walled in with brick walls a little higher than the earth, thus making an ordinary window area, with a sink in the bottom to carry off rain water. Besides these two window areas, there was left a clear strip of open yard about 4 feet wide, extending across the whole width of the lot. The object of this was to afford light and air to the basement of the new building, and also to leave light and air for the westerly side of the main floor and basement of the rear of the four-story corner building. In building on this lot the complainants made use of the party wall between No. 35 and No. 39 as far to the rear as it reached, and then built an independent wall on their own side of the line as far as the main body of the building, which, as we have seen, is 10 feet from the rear of the line. Upon each of the two areas two windows opened from the basement, - one upon each from the main building, and one upon each on the side of the rear extension. There was no door leading into the back yard or areas. The rear basement was used as a kitchen, the range being on the west. On the main floor was a gentlemen's toilet room on the west side, and a ladies' toilet room on the east side adjoining the complainants' liquor saloon, and there was an open doorway connection with the complainants' saloon, so that persons could pass freely from one to the other. The restaurant was finished In August, 1895, and the defendants immediately took possession, and have since occupied it for their business."
In the fall of 1896 with the permission of the Klie brothers Von Broock "inclosed the easterly area, and placed in it their ice box and refrigerator."

In the spring of 1896 Von Broock decided to enlarge his business and rented NO. 39 (to the west) from the Hoboken Land Improvement Company. Von Broock immediately began to make alterations and in doing so

"tore down the wooden building in the rear, which had formed a dividing barrier between Nos. 39 and 35, and erected a one story brick building in its place, with the side wall placed, or intended so to be, up to the line of the Hoboken Land Improvement Company's land, and left in this wall two open spaces on the side next No. 35, - one a window opening upon the west area of No. 35, and another a door opening upon the main yard. The object of this door was to make a passageway from No. 39 to the kitchen of No. 35, and with this view they tore out the window looking from the kitchen upon the west area, and prepared to make a door in its place, by enlarging the opening. Complainants, being apprised of this project, protested, and forbade it, and made use of a window which opened from the rear of the corner lot occupied by them upon the yard of No. 35 to gain access thereto for the purpose of building a brick wall as a hoarding or barrier on the rear of the westerly line of No. 35, and thus shut up the window and door so proposed to be opened upon their lot from No. 39. In this attempt, made on Saturday, May 9th, they were forcibly resisted by the defendants. At about the same time they heard that the defendants were about to break through the party wall between No. 35 and No. 39, in the basement, and make a passageway between the two premises. They thereupon prepared their bill in this cause, and presented it to a vice chancellor on the afternoon of May 11th, setting out their title to the two lots, the lease to the defendants, and most of the facts hereinbefore stated, and praying an injunction against the breaking through of the party wall In the basement, and also against interference with their entry upon the yard in the rear of No. 35 to erect a brick hoarding against the door and window opening upon their premises from No. 39. A restraining order was granted, but before it was granted or served the defendants had succeeded, by employing laborers on Saturday evening, May 9th, to work that night and the next day, - Sunday, - in cutting an opening in the party wall, and constructing a door and passageway therein between tne two buildings. Under the protection of the restraining order the complainants gained access to the inclosed yard in question from a window in the rear of their corner building, and erected a solid brick wall 12 Inches wide, and about 12 or 14 feet high, close up to their westerly line, partly upon a new foundation, and partly upon the stone coping of the area wall of the westerly rear area, the result of which was to prevent the defendants from using the door and window which they had left in the wall of the new building on the Hoboken Land Improvement Company's land, but to leave them the use of the passageway resulting from the breaking through of the party wall. The defendants subsequently partially restored the window in the basement, and inserted in it a ventilator operated by electricity to cool the air of the kitchen. The defendants, by their cross bill, pray that the complainants may be decreed to abate and take down this wall in the rear. Complainants pray that the defendants may be restrained from using the passageway in the party wall, and may be decreed to fill it up, and restore it to its former condition.

The questions litigated are: First. Did the lease from the complainants to the defendants include the yard in the rear of the restaurant, or did it cover only the right of the use of the yard for light and air? Second. Were the complainants justified in building the brick hoarding or barrier on the west side of the rear of lot No. 35? Third. Was the breaking through of the party wall, and inserting a door in the basement, waste on the part of the defendants? And, if so, then, fourth, should the defendants be ordered to restore it?"

(Atlantic Reporter: Cases Argued and Determined in the Courts of ..., Volume 37 By West Publishing Company and others)

The judge's decision"
"I will advise a decree that the defendants be restrained from permitting the opening in the party wall made by them on or about May 10, 1896, to remain in its present condition, or from permitting the party wall between the leased premises and those of the Hoboken Land Improvement Company on the west to be in any other condition than it was prior to the opening made therein by the defendants; and, further, If complainants desire themselves to do the work of restoration, then that the defendants be restrained from preventing the complainants from so doing at a reasonable time and in a reasonable manner; and the court will name a special master, under whose supervision the work of restoration shall be done, If the parties cannot agree thereupon. The provision for restoration may also include the window opening upon the area If the brickwork has not already been restored to Its original condition."

Chas. B. Brush, Civil Engineer, No. 13 Newark Street.

The profession of a civil engineer is one of great responsibility, and one requiring the highest order of ability, coupled with skill and experience. One of the most popular and respected civil engineers located in Hoboken is Mr. Chas. B. Brush, whose offices are situated at Nos. 11, 13, and 15 Newark street. This business was established in 1867 by Spielmann & Brush, who conducted it till 1883, when Mr. Spielmann died and Mr. Brush succeeded to the management. Mr. Brush was born in New York, and early evinced an aptitude for mathematical aud engineering studies, resulting when he commenced the practice of his profession in his making rapid progress. The fidelity and accuracy of all his plans and engineering designs have been duly recognized, and ne has been entrusted during the last quarter of a century with some of the most important public and private work that has been executed in New Jersey and New York. He has from the start been actively engaged as an engineer and surveyor in laying out and marking the boundaries of parks, streets, and as an expert in construction, etc. Mr. Brush is chief engineer and superintendent of the Hackensack Water Co., professor of civil engineering at the University of the City of New York, and engineer of the Hudson River Tunnel, consulting engineer for Greenwood Cemetery, Long Branch, Scranton, Montclair, and other water works, and made the examinations for the foundations of the Harlem River, Poughkeepsie, and other large bridges. He built the Hackensack Water Works, Fourteenth Street Ferry (New York and Hoboken), residences of Mr. Holtz and Luecke, and a number all over Hudson county, and his attainments in the profession have been duly recognized in the scientific world, having been elected an active member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, American and New England Water Works Associations, Metropolitan Museum of Art, etc. Limit of space prevent our making reference to the long list of improvements, estates, lots, street openings, etc., of which he has had charge and carefully surveyed. He possesses handsomely furnished offices extending through three buildings and well-lighted draughting rooms, where an efficient corps of assistants is constantly employed. Those contemplating any kind of engineering work, or the survey of one lot or a hundred, of a plot, or farm, or tract of land, construction of roads, lawns, water works, examinations f or foundations, etc., in fact, anything in this line, will find him prepared to promptly and efficiently execute all commissions at most moderate prices.

1897:

CHARLES BENJAMIN BRUSH, M. Am. Soc. C. E. Died June 3d, 1897. Charles Benjamin Brush was born in New York City on February 15th, 1848, one of three sons and three daughters of Eliza (Turck) and Jonathan E. Brush. He was graduated from New York University in 1867 with the degree of Civil Engineer, and returned to that institution as Instructor in 1874. He was promoted to the position of Professor of Civil Engineering in 1888, and became Dean of the School of Engineering in 1895, when he was honored with the degree of Doctor of Science. Although his health failed about this time, he continued officially at the head of the Engineering School until his death.

Immediately after graduation, Mr. Brush was connected with the Engineer Corps on the Croton Aqueduct, New York City, for two years, but in 1869 he formed a partnership with the late Arthur Spielmann, M. Am. Soc. C. E., at Hoboken, N. J. This firm engaged in extensive engineering work for the following: The Hoboken Land and Improvement Company; the Hoboken Ferry Company; the Hackensack Water Company; the North Hudson County Railway Company, and for many other corporations and communities in Bergen and Hudson Counties, New Jersey.

Mr. Brush also was connected with work on the first tunnel under the Hudson River, acted as Assistant Engineer for the proposed New York-New Jersey Bridge over the Hudson River, and as Engineer for the Contractor who built the piers for the 181st Street Bridge over the Harlem River. He was Consultant on the reconstruction of the famous ceiling of the Senate Chamber at the Capitol, Albany, N. Y. As Chief Engineer, Consultant, or Managing Director, he either built, remodeled, or enlarged water and sewerage systems in New Rochelle, Irvington, Highland Falls, Southampton, Far Rockaway, and Syracuse in New York State; Plainfield, and the great Hackensack System, in New Jersey; Lancaster and Easton, Pa.; Alliance,

Ohio; Kansas City, Mo.; Kansas City, Kans.; and Portsmouth, Suffolk, and Berkeley, Va. Mr. Brush also organized branches in his office for the preparation of insurance atlases, and for making boring tests for foundations of buildings or bridges. After the death of Mr. Spielmann in 1883 and until his own health failed, he conducted the very extensive practice himself, but about 1895 he took into partnership his senior assistant, W. F. Whittemore, M. Am. Soc. C. E., under the firm name of Charles B. Brush and Company. The firm continued to conduct business until the death of Mr. Brush in 1897, and for some years following, until the virtual retirement of Col. Whittemore from active practice.

After the lapse of nearly twenty-four years it is interesting to note the high standing in professional and civic life attained by those who, as students or assistants, passed under the influence of the inspiring and successful engineer and all-round Christian gentleman, Charles B. Brush. He was an occasional contributor of technical papers, and frequently submitted discussions of remarkable clearness and interest. His reports were models of terse English and convincing logic. Personal friendship was his dominant characteristic clients became friends, students became admirers, employees respected and served him loyally. His judgment of men was remarkable, and his ability to assemble and present ideas in intelligent and convincing form was much appreciated by his clients and associates.

Mr. Brush was a member of the Engineers' Club, New York City, the American Water Works Association, and the New York University Alumni Association. He was an active worker in the Central Presbyterian Church of New York City; Superintendent of its Mizpah Chapel Sabbath School; and an Elder for many years. He was a valued Director of the Charity Organization Society.

In 1883, Mr. Brush was married to Carrie F. Cooley, who, with three children, Anna C, Joshua C, and Charles B., Jr., survives him.

Mr. Brush was elected an Associate Member of the American Society of Civil Engineers on September 6th, 1871, and a Member on September 5th, 1877; he served as a Director from 1888 to 1891, and as a Vice-President from 1892 to 1894.

Albert and Gustav Beyer & Aloys Tivy- 21 Newark Street

1887:
Beyer & Tivy, City Surveyors, Civil Engineers, and Architects, No. 21 Newark Street. Among the principal firms in Hoboken engaged as architects, civil engineers, and surveyors is the old-established house of Beyer & Tivy. Messrs. Beyer and Tivy were born in Germany, but have resided in the United States for the last twenty-two years. In 1867 they commenced the practice of their profession in Hoboken, and have since built up an influential and permanent patronage. The fidelity and accuracy manifested by them in civil engineering, surveying, and architecture are everywhere recognized and appreciated by patrons. They have been entrusted with some of the most important public and private work that has been executed in Hoboken and its vicinity during recent years. As architects they have achieved success, both as regards exterior elegance and the equally important details of the interior, embodying in their plans at the same time all the suggestions and requirements of the owners. They closely follow specifications in supervising construction, and in every possible way subserve the interests of their patrons. Limit of space prevent us from naming but few of the buildings designed and erected by them in New Jersey. Among the number special mention should be made of Wearing st theatre and Bernitt's Hall, Hoboken; Town Hall and school, Union township, and Meyerburg's silk mill, etc. They are at present busily engaged in the preparation of plans and designs for numerous patrons, and are at all times prepared to successfully undertake important public or private contracts. As surveyors they undertake the survey of one plot or a hundred, of farms, tracts of land, etc., and execute all commissions at moderate prices. They are the oldest established architects and surveyors in North Hudson county, having been established here for twenty years.

1908:

SWAYZE, J. This is a creditors' bill in aid of an execution at law. The debt due the complainant was incurred part on October 9, 1893, and part on January 17, 1894, by the firm of Tivy & Schmidt, which was composed of Peter Tivy and Aug. J. Schmidt. The business proved unsuccessful. Schmidt died In the fall of 1894, and on December 19th of that year Peter Tivy conveyed the real estate now in question to his sister, Elizabeth Tivy. In his answer to the original bill he says that his brother Aloys Tivy was the equitable owner of the property, and that the conveyance was made at the request of Aloys in payment of a debt due from Aloys to Elizabeth, and that a full consideration passed from Elizabeth to Aloys. Elizabeth in her answer says that Aloys owed her for board, and said he wanted her to have what he had. Upon these averments, the Vice Chancellor directed that an amended bill be filed and that Aloys be brought in as a party defendant This was done, and Aloys answered, setting up that the conveyance was in consideration of natural love and affection and a small amount of money then owing by him to Elizabeth for board.

At an examination in supplemental proceedings Peter testified that he conveyed the property to his sister because he wanted to get rid of it. Aloys testified that he gave his sister such a big present because it was all in the family. At the hearing before the Vice Chancellor, he said he conveyed to his sister because he did not pay his board regularly.

Elizabeth testified that Aloys owed her $1,000 for board, but she kept no account, and we think the evidence makes It clear that the family lived together, each contributing to the support of the household. Aloys was the most thrifty; and, in view of the uncertainty in the testimony, we are not satisfied that he was indebted to his sister for board. Probably it is true, as she says, that when he had money he would give her some, and when he had none he would give her nothing. Such testimony fails to Indicate that the relation betwen Aloys and Elizabeth was that of debtor and creditor.

It is, of course, not of importance what the consideration for the conveyance was as between Aloys and Elizabeth, except for the light this testimony throws upon the real question in the case, which is whether Peter held the title in trust for Aloys.

1899:

STORM OF ICE AND SELTER.; Saloon Keeper, Unable to Dislodge Dog Guarding His Sleeping Master, Turns on the Man.

Rees P. Francis, a Hoboken livery stable keeper, entered the barroom of the Palace Hotel, in Newark Street, on Friday night. He was accompanied by a big dog, half mastiff, half St. Bernard. After taking a drink Francis sat down and fell asleep. His dog lay down at his feet and kept guard over him. Whenever any one went too near the dog showed his teeth with a vicious growl.

When it came time to close the place, Charles Von Broock, the owner, tried to dislodge the dog, the animal set up such and ugly growl that von Broock sought safty behing the bar. From this point of vantage he pelted the dog with cracked ice, while the barkeeper assailed the animal with an artillery fusillade from several well-charged seltzer bottles. The dog did not seem to mind this, while the pieces of ice were caught in his mouth and swallowed with evident enjoyment.

Von Brock finally changed his tactics. He pelted Francis with cracked ice until practice enabled him to lodge several pieces inside Francis's collar. This roused him, and on awaking sufficiently to comprehend the situation he cooly refused to call off his dog until Von Broock set up the drinks. The saloon keeper was very glad to do so. Then Francis and his dog went home and Von Broock put up the shutters and locked the doors.

1921: Twelve people, six men and six women died in a fire at the Colonial Hotel in Hoboken including Elmo Snider, age 26 of Brooklyn foreman of air brake inspectors of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Railroad.

All of the 46 guests rooms and 6 employees rooms were occupied except the room in wich the fire appears to have started. There were 95 people total in the hotel. There was only one fire escape which was at the rear of the building. The building was four stories at 39 41 Newark street. The appeared untouched form the outside except for a few broken windows - but inside the place was in ruins - fire gutted with blackened walls and charred furniture. The fire was blamed on a carelessly discarded cigarette.

"Hotel Company Sued for $50,000 Damages" Charles Von Broock of East Orange, N. J. president of the Colonial Hotel and Restaurant in Hoboken and the hotel manager, Henry Scharsing, were named in a suit brought by a widow, Mrs. Elizabeth G Snider of Brooklyn who's husband, Elmo Snider, had died in a fire at the hotel on January 30th. "Twelve other people were burned to death." The suit was brought because it was claimed there were no rope fire escape or fire gongs as required by law. The hotel denied the negligence. (New York Hotel Record, Volumes 19-20)

The suit charged Charles Von Broock of 81 Carnegie Ave, East Orange one of the owners and president of the company, and Henry Scharshing, manager and part owner. Mr. Von Broock and Mr. Scharsching had been indicted for manslaughter a short time before by a Hudson grand jury.

Von Broock denied the charges and insinuated that the reason some people did not get out in time was because they were drunk.

"Not many suits are expected against the Colonial Company because of the publicity they will invite to the families of the victims, since it has been repeatedly alleged that the place was a disorderly rooming house at the time of the fire." (Brooklyn Daily Eagle, 16, July 1921)

The suit was still active in January 1923 when it was reported that the body of Elmo Snider an employe of Brooklyn Rapid Transit was found in room 21. Beside him was the body of Mrs. Hester Constance Petersen also of Brooklyn and also and employee of B. R. T. Von Broock denied responsibility for the death stating that Snider was not a guest of the hotel but was there as a trespasser unknown to the management. (BDE - 10 Jan 1923)

1887:
First National Bank of Hoboken, corner Newark and Hudson Streets. The First National Bank of Hoboken stands foremost among the fiduciary institutions of the city and State. It was incorporated thirty years ago as the Hoboken City Bank, and was reorganized under the national banking laws with its present corporate name in 1865, and an extension of its charter was obtained in 1885. The capital stock of the bank is $110,000, and it is officered as follows, viz.: President, Saml. R. Syms; vice-president, Hazen Kimball; cashier, Wm. B. Goodspeed. Directors, S. R. Syms, H. Kimball, T. Butts, J. W. Stickler, D. M. Demerest, J. C. Bessen, R. C. Livingston, A. E. Crevier, Louis Becker, R. E. Gardner, J. H. Brown, 8. B. Dodd, and John Stevens. This is not only one of the oldest banks of Hoboken, but is one of the best managed and most liberally patronized. From the outset it has retained the confidence of the public in a marked degree. A general banking business is transacted, including the receiving of deposits, the discounting of approved commercial paper, the collection of drafts, etc. Under its present wise and conservative management this bank is doing a large and safe business, all of its movements being marked with prudence, caution, and honorable business methods. Its executive officers are men with whom it is a pleasure to do business. Mr. Syms has for thirteen years filled with ability the office of president of the bank, and Mr. Goodspeed has for twenty-three years been responsibly connected with the institution, and since 1880 has been the efficient cashier. The officers are all natives of New Jersey, and the Board of Directors comprises much of the solid business element of the city. The surplus of the bank is $22,000, with undivided profits aggregating $90,000, a showing which emphasizes the popular faith in the institution by the public in general.
