...Newark in traffic volume leads not only the U. S. but the world. This year close to 300,000 passengers, over 4,000,000 Ib. of mail and over 2,500,000 Ib. of express will be handled. One hundred and twenty planes a day roar off Newark's runways compared with less than 100 out of Berlin, London or Paris.

This summer, Christian W. Feigenspan, brewer of Newark's Pride of the Nation Beer, sponsored seven prizes for Eastern saltwater anglers. The first six were run-of-the-mine $250 and $100 prizes for largest fish caught between Montauk Point and Cape May. The seventh, which appeared to be a jest, was $100 for the smallest tuna under five pounds caught anywhere along the Atlantic Coast.
