He received his education at the State Model School. Upon leaving that institution he became traveling salesman for Whiteheads' Rubber Mills. After a time he induced moneyed men to form the Trenton Rubber Company. For a long time he was his own salesman, shipping clerk and manager, working almost night and day. In 1882, together with Mr. Alpaugh, he purchased the Coxon, now the Empire, Pottery; two years later he formed the Empire Rubber Co. In the Spring of 1887 he was elected Mayor of the city, being the first to break a quarter of a century of uninterrupted Democratic rule. He was re elected in 1888. Mayor Magowan is deservedly popular, and a great political "hustler." UNDERWEAR "For Everybody." FURNISHING GOODS For men, BOYS and CHILDREN. T3a.e IFrices .A-re I?.ig-li,t. RICHARD A.

WILL BE FOUND AT HIBBERT'S TRENTON In presenting this book to the public the publishers feel confident of its warm reception. The field of advertising is pretty well covered, but largely with worthless advertising sheets, gotten out for the single purpose of filling the coffers of the publishers and with never a thought for the interest of their patrons. The Biographical Advertiser is a new and novel medium for reaching the public, and its 5,000 circulation, conscientiously distributed, in- sures o?ie in every house. The pictures and sketches of prominent business men, together with notes on other subjects, make it interesting reading and a valuable keepsake. The advertisers are the most reliable in the city, and a call on them will convince our readers that it pays to deal at home. It is our intention in the future to publish and illustrate, in connection with our business men, those occupying political positions. All rights as to title and objects of this book will be reserved. ^ x- ^ -» W. J. ±1IBBERT, I pj.hJj-^lj^y^ JAS. W. Cook, > ^^ousners. STORB, \BB S. Q-IREEliE Sii^lREEl, TRENTON, N. J.

Mr. Rider is a native of Livingston county, Michigan, and first came to Trenton in 1866. He is a graduate of Howell Seminary, of Howell, Michi- gan, and followed teaching for many years in that State, and also at Newark, N. J. With the exception of an interim of four years, he has alwaj's been connected with the Capital City Commercial or Trenton Business College, which was established in the 3'ear 1S65 b}^ Messrs. Bryant & Stratton, as one of their chain of Business Colleges, and now the International Business College Association. In 1S73 he severed his connection with the Trenton Business College, and devoted his entire time to the supervision and improvement of his cranberry plantation in Camden and Atlantic counties, making his residence at Parkdale, in Camden count}', where he remained three years. During this time he visited Europe in the interest of this fruit. During his brief residence in Camden county, in 1877, he was nominated and elected to the Legislature of this State, and made a most efficient and sterling Representative. He is still owner of one of the largest and most productive cranberry planta- tions in New Jersey. In 1878 he returned to his old post in Trenton, resuming the ownership and management of the Trenton Business Col- lege, which, through his efforts and untiring labor, has become widely known as the leading school of its kind in the country. Of all the gentlemen engaged in imparting to the youth of Trenton and vicinity a thorough business education, probably no one man has done so much and such good work as Mr. Rider, and not only is he a thorough educator, but he al.so takes an active interest in all matters per- taining to the government of, and pul^lic improvements in, the cit}'. It was principally through the efforts of Mr. Rider that the Trenton Board of Trade, of which he is President, was practically re-organized, its mem- bership trebled, and accomplished the removal from the dingy quarters formed}' occupied to the handsomely-equipped offices now located in the new Scott Building, on State street.

ALLEN, Proprietor of the Only Successful Steam Laundry IN Trenton. Mr. Allen has succeeded in establishing a laiindry in this city second to none in the country. The reputation of his establishment is not confined to Trenton alone, but is known for miles around, and his trade comes to him from adjoining cities and towns without solicitation of any kind on his part. Traveling agents, theatre companies and tourists have come to know the place, and frequently hold their work until they arrive in Trenton, that they may have it done at the Allen Steam Laundry. Located at 17 S. Warren street, a few doors below State (nearly oppo- site the old Trenton Bank), it is convenient to all the leading hotels of the city. They laundry lace curtains, pillow shams, counterpanes^ ladies' iine wearing apparel, &c., in a neat and careful manner. Every facilit}?' for promptness known to the trade are to be found in this place. It is the only reliable laundry the city boasts, and the proprietor well deserves the success and prominence his laundry has achieved. 9 DON'T CLIJVIB THE STAIRS TO GET YOUR PICTURE TAKEN, BUT GO TO ON GROUND FLOOR OP No. /J7 South Greene Street, And get One Dozen of his BRING YOUR BABY AND HAVE ITS PICTURE TAKEN.

The gentleman whose picture appears above will be instantly recog- nized by Trentonians as Philip Freiidenmacher, Chief Engineer of the City Fire Department. Mr. Freudenmacher is a native of this city, being born in Southard street, November 13th, 1856. He learned the trade of segar making and followed the same for a number of years. For the past six years he has been manager of the Trenton office of the Bergner & Engel Brewing Company. He is an authority on all matters relating to the fire department, having been an active fireman for eleven years, hav- ing become a member of the Eagle Company in 1877. His candidacj' for the position of Chief Engineer was a well-contested one, but after a spir- ited contest he defeated his opponent, Mr. James Bennett, by 31 to 19. His election caused much satisfaction to those interested in fire matters, especially to members of the company of which he is a member. Imme- diately upon his election, Mr. Freudenmacher began a thorough investi- gation in every part of the department, and introduced many improve- ments. Under his management the department ranks second to none in the high degree of discipline which it has attained. The citj^ has been divided into a number of call districts, by which onU' a certain number of engines will answer certain calls, thus providing against having one part of the city unprotected while a fire may be in another section. In case of more help being needed it is provided for by a general call. Mr. Freu- denmacher is in favor of a non-partisan Board of Fire Commissioners, to be appointed by the Mayor, believing that under their control the wants of the department could be better provided for. It was by the untiring efforts of the Chief that the late firemen's parade was held, the first in the city in thirteen years. Aside from his connection with the depart- ment, he is also connected with thirteen different orders and organiza- tions, having been D. D. G. C. of the Seventh District of N. J. K. of P., being a member of Spartacus Lodge, No. 10. He is a prominent member of Home Lodge, No. 211, I. O. O. F. The Trenton Fire Department, of which he has the honor to be the Chief Engineer, is composed of nine steam fire engines, eleven hose car- riages, two hook and ladder trucks, (one of them being of the latest im- proved make,) and one Chief Engineer's wagon. All the companies are provided with latest improved engines, patent swinging harness, electric 11 apparatus for unhooking harness, &c. The membership consists of about six hundred men. The companies are located throughout the city as follows : America Steam Fire Engine Company, Perry, opposite Carroll. Delaware " " " '' South Warren. " " " Broad and Centre. " " " S.

Wilson & Co., at No. 9 South. Warren street, is a native of Tren- ton and has always resided here. The business he now conducts was founded by his father, John Wilson, in 1825, and passed into the hands of his son about thirty years ago. Thus it can be seen that he has grown up in the business and is thoroughly practical in every respect. He bears the reputation of having been a very expert workman. He is a large- hearted and pviblic-spirited gentleman, and has always given his aid and influence to whatever would promote the city's interests. Still in the midst of an active business life, he is highly esteemed and respected bj^ all who know him, and particularly by those who know him best. J. H.

To ■wlioni it may concern : Having been more than thirty years in the General Furnishing Un- dertaking business has enabled me to ascertain the general want of the public in every detail of the business. Being aware of the fact that this business de- mands , above all others, a conscientious considera- tion of the interests of those who are obliged to call on us to perform so sacred a service. The former crude way in which many things were done have been entirely obviated by thought and experience which takes a lifetime to obtain, and when one is so fortunate to have the knowledge im- parted to them by such a one, he cannot f«il in his effort to establish himself in such a manner as will place him before the public fully prepared to attend to all the wants of those who will favor him with their patronage, and as such I fully endorse my friend, Philip A. Tallon, as a competent Undertaker, who will, without doubt, give entire satisfaction to all who may call upon him, with the assurance of getting all the service as well as the goods furnished on the most reasonab'e terms.

A young lad was clerk in a grocer}^ store, at the meagre salary of three dollars per week, which was expended in the support of a widowed mother and younger children. A gentleman of means, with an eye trained to see a good paying investment, determined to make the young man a Christmas present. Now, before telling you what the present was, we want to tell you what a change has taken place in the young man's life and circumstances in conse- quence of it. It would make a story for a Sunday-school book, but it has never been written. This gift required some effort on the part of the young man, but it enabled him, after six months, to take a posi- tion where he earned and received eight dollars per week, and a year later the same course placed him as cashier in one of the largest manufacturing concerns of New Jersey, employing millions of capital, at a salary of one hundred dollars per month. You wonder what the present was. It was a tuition certificate in the Trenton Business Col- lege. Many others have made the same present, and we have yet to learn of one that was not productive of greater good than any other gift could have been. It is a present that goes on increasing in value and rolls round annually with an increase of salary each year that brings happiness and comfort, not only to the receiver of the benefit but to the giver.

The bronze alone weighs 200,000 pounds. Forty persons can stand comfortably in the head, and the torch will hold twelve people. The total number of steps in the winding stairway which leads from the base of the founda- tion to the top of the torch is 403. From the ground to the top of the pedestal there are 195 steps. The number of steps in the statue, from the pedestal to the head, is 154, and the ladder leading up through the extended right arm to the torch has 54 rounds. The electric light in the inside of the torch lamp aggregates 50,000 candle power, and at the base of the statue 30,000 candle power, being 80,000 candle power in all.

Of poor parentage, his school days were, of necessity, very few. At the early age of twelve years he went to learn the merchant tailoring trade. Three years later he came to this country and settled in Chicago, where he worked at anything and everything in his struggle for existence. Indomitable courage and perseverance soon won for him recognition, and in 1870 he obtained a position as a mer- cantile traveler. His success in this line was almost phe- nomenal. In 1882 he came to Trenton and entered into partnership with Richard A. Donnelly, in the clothing business, under the firm name of R. A. Donnelly & Co. His genial nature soon made him hosts of friends. The hardships through which he passed when a boy and in early manhood have given him a kindly heart and gener- ous impulses, and many are the blessings showered upon his numerous philanthropical acts. In April last he dis- solved partnership with Col. Donnelly and commenced business for himself in the large and beautiful new store located at No. 134 East State street. His rare business ability has made this enterprise a conspicuous and perma- nent success. Mr. Reineman is pne of our most public- spirited business men, and richly deserves the laurels he has won. 24 The O. P. O. 134 E. STATE ST, TRENTON, N.
