New Jersey: Life, Industries and Resources of a Great State

The book, whose cover is shown below, was published in 1928 (just before the Crash). It provides a detailed snapshot of New Jersey at that time in history. Several of articles and photos will be of interest to those with an interest in the history of West Hudson, so I am reproducing those portions here:
