Better Business and Pleasure

At the end of 1946, Benjamin T. Giera published a 64 page guide, distributed compliments of Joseph Fischer, which provided residents of that time with information about local businesses, and which gives us some insight into the Metuchen that existed 50 years ago.

Here are some excerpts from the original guide:

History of Metuchen Churches of Metuchen
