FORE NOTES 




N presenting "PICTORIAI. PaTERSON " to tlie public, the publishers aim to inform the outside world 
or non-residents who have not kept in toucli with our enterprise and progress, that, notwithstanding 
the trying ordeals through which wfe have recently passed, the ravage of f'lre, the inundation of flood, 
and crash of tornado that have swept over us, leaving ruin and desolation in their wake, that we 
still live, and by dint of an indomitable will and unrelenting perseverance, have recovered from the disasters 
and their consequences, and defiantly await the coming of the unexpected in the future. 

When calamities overtake certain communities, their effects overawe the inhabitants to such an alarming 
extent that they live in constant dread of an impending gloom. This is not the case in Paterson. 

We are too busy here to worry long over misfortunes. The noise of the factory bell and the workshop 
whistle, the hum of a thousand mills and the rush of toiling throngs change the current of our thoughts, and 
the gloom of the past is forgotten in anticipation of a brighter future. 

The illustrations in this booklet indicate m.iinly the public buildings, some of our progressive banking insti- 
tutions, a few of our artistic churches, with a glimpse here and there of niiscell.ineous structures. No attetnpt 
is made to show the hundreds of handsome mercantile houses that have been rebuilt since the great tire, which, 
however, perform an important part in the construction of "New Paterson."
