1931 Water Co. Bill & Rates

Here is another old document I just came across in the stuff I have here. Boy, water was cheap back then - $3.75 for 3 months! And as far as I'm concerned, it's still the cheapest utility I pay for. I also notice here that my great uncle was the Borough Treasurer. Never knew that before.

Bloomsbury History article - 1983

Here is an article from the Hunterdon County Democrat, June 1983. It is a good concise article with some good pictures of the early years of the town after it became incorporated. Hope all enjoy this.

Gleitz Piano Company

Does anyone know that Bloomsbury was the home of the Gleitz Piano Company? Founded in 1895, they made at least a few pianos, and Linda knows who still has one! I don't know when the company folded, but thought this would be of interest to those interested in Bloomsbury history. My great-grandfather was the president of the company, and this is a stock certificate I have in my possession.
