Source: In 1916, Newark celebrated the 250th anniversary. For the occasion, the Newark Sales and Advertising Company published 250,000 copies of the Official Guide and Manual of the
Anniversary Celebration to attract new residents to the city. Many African Americans headed that
way
"[Newark] has now most of the attractions of a great city. Its streets are well paved and well
sewered. Its schools, greatly enlarged and improved, are among the best. Its beautiful churches
are sufficient to give attractive seats to all who would attend. Its superb water supply is not
surpassed in quality. It has a public transportation that is unexcelled. Its public buildings are
important and beautiful and this city is slowly gaining wealth. In the variety and extent of its
industries it is among the first, and its enterprising salesmen make its wares known in every
village throughout the land.
Newark has 252 distinct lines of industry (business). Newark as a manufacturing center ranks
ahead of thirty states in the aggregate value of its manufactured products. Newark is known for
paying its employees well.. Wages paid employees average $747 yearly."
