Port Newark is on the Jersey mainland, where all but one of the nation’s great trunk line railroads from the West and South terminate. It has direct switching connections with these railroads, and because it is on the mainland, it eliminates the necessity for lighterage between rail and ship—the cause of congestion in other parts of the port of New York. It is actually nearer the ocean than Manhattan island, and yet is free from the crowded conditions of the Upper New York Bay. Forty per cent of the nation’s commerce is handled at the Port of New York—well termed the ‘‘Gateway of America’’. Port Newark was developed to facilitate the handling of the products of the interior which are brought to that gateway. Shipping factors and traffic men should know all about the facilities of Port Newark, and its contiguous territory. Full information is contained in a comprehensive booklet which will be mailed free upon request. THOS. L.
