| TEXT | THE ATLANTIC CHEMICAL COMPANY, the largest fur dyeing concern in the United States, located at 44, 46, 48 and 50 Sherman Avenue, Jersey City, was incorporated in 1904, with Julian Henry Goodman as its president. Mr. Goodman was born in New Haven, Conn., in 1880, was educated at Yale College, from which he graduated with the titles of Ph. B. and M. S., and studied in 1902 and 1903 in London, Leeds, Berlin, Leipzig and Paris. The process used by the company enables it to dye furs which have not previously been successfully dyed, and some idea of the volume of its business may be had when it is stated that it handles over 3,000,000 skins annually, sending its products to England, Germany, France, Belgium, Holland, Russia and Canada. It now combines the dyeing and dressing of sables, minks and other fine furs, and makes raw furs ready for manufacture into articles. The process is one of the most interesting in the city's manufacturing world. There are few articles of merchandise that are in such demand at the present time as furs. They are used almost to the exclusion of any other material for coats and sacques by the women of the United States, while in foreign countries their use is not confined to winter, but they are also used extensively in summer. The preparation of these furs by a process such as that used by the Atlantic Chemical Company has therefore no limit to the scope of its work. The process is so effective and produces such perfect results that there has been a great demand for it, and all the civilized countries of the world are familiar with furs that are prepared in this manner. The company selected Jersey City as the location of its plant by reason of the excellent transportation facilities to all parts of the United States and the proximity to the docks of the ocean steamships, feeling satisfied that in no other locality could they receive the skins and ship the goods with greater ease and less expense. In this particular they are in no way different from many other large manufacturing companies, which have located here principally for those reasons after investigating all the other sections of the metropolitan district. In fact, there is hardly a manufacturing plant in Jersey City that does not bear evidence of the desirability of the city as a place in which to do business, and many new plants have been brought here by the experience and recommendation of old ones. Manufacturers, like the Atlantic Chemical Company, find that Jersey City is living up to all her promises and surpassing all the predictions of her most optimistic prophets. In every civic endeavor Jersey City has more than accomplished the purpose aimed at. The past decade that has spread along the highway of prosperity has shown Jersey City always in the front and always in the bright sunshine, literally and figuratively.
In building alone Jersey City talks by millions of dollars. Every day means new structures for residences or for
business, and there is unlimited room for more. The development of the residence area of the city is beautiful in
its consistency and conservatism. There is no rush. There is no boom. It is all a deeply considered, normal growth.
Every home-builder and home-buyer in Jersey City works with deliberation and with judgment.
The average working man, who is making not more than
$20 a week, seeks out his home site. He finds a lot and
locality that suits his taste and very soon is living in his own
home, which he is buying with the money he would pay as
rent in any other community. This is the rule, not the
exception. The moral effect upon the entire citizenship is
most gratifying, for home-buying enforces a regard for
general welfare.
