Perth Amboy Calendars

Throughout the years organizations and companies  have produced 

calendars of Perth Amboy. 

In  1975, Three Financial Institutions (First Savings and Loan of Perth Amboy,

Perth Amboy National Bank, and Perth Amboy Savings Institution) unwrote 

the costs of a calendar with Historical Perth Amboy Pictures. 

This calendar was comprised of various sketches of Perth Amboy. 

A few of them were drawn by Francis McGinley
