New Brunswick, the Middlesex County seat on the Raritan River, was by 1910 a manufacturing city as well as a college town. Johnson & Johnson, founded there in 1886 by Robert Wood Johnson and his brothers, had grown from a small maker of surgical dressings into one of the city's largest employers, and its plant drew workers from neighborhoods across town. Electric trolley lines linked New Brunswick with nearby towns, carrying shoppers, commuters, and factory hands along the city's main streets. Residents knew the city for its industry as much as for its university, and a bandage packed at a local factory could reach a drugstore shelf across the country. Civic life centered on the churches, fraternal lodges, and the county courthouse.

| Notes | An original bird's-eye view map of New Brunswick, New Jersey, drawn in 1910. Bird's-eye view maps were drawn by travelling artists who walked a town street by street, sketching every building from an imagined vantage point in the air, then sold the finished lithograph door to door by subscription. Roughly five thousand American towns were recorded this way between the 1860s and the 1920s, and for many of them the panoramic map is the most complete picture of the place that survives. Reproduced from the original in the Library of Congress collections. Printed to order on archival paper. Free shipping on all US orders. |
