The Daily Graphic - 1875

The New York Daily Graphic did a story on Perth Amboy,NJ  on Friday, May 28th. 1875

Back in the day articles were thousands of words and very descriptive.

The Article speaks of Perth Amboy as a Summer Resort with rooms available at the 

Packer Hotel or The Brighton.

Also the Article takes you back when Perth Amboy was known as a

Fishing and Shell Fish Center and even mentions South Jersey's

Cranberry and Grape Crops and how Perth Amboy plays into it!

This is PART 1 with more to come......
