The Jersey City Skeeters were a minor league baseball team which operated in Jersey City, New Jersey . The club started in the 1860s and by 1870 joined the National Association of Base Ball Players . By 1885, Jersey City had joined the Eastern League U.S. baseball Eastern League , but they dropped out before the end of the season. The team rejoined the league the following year, finishing in second place. In 1887, a Jersey City Skeeters team was playing in the International League , but in 1888, they were in the Central League minor league Central League , a much lower league, competition wise. The team participated in three other leagues before 1902, with little success. In that year, however, the city of Jersey City built the club a new stadium, and the team committed to the Eastern League. They finished in third place in their first year in the league, but in 1903, they fielded a championship team. That year, the team won their first 18 games, and had a stretch of 25 consecutive victories. They won the league with a record of 92 33. That team was managed by 39 year old player manager Billy Murray, who stayed with the team through 1906, but the team never won another championship. The Skeeters remained in the Eastern League and its successor, the International League until 1915, at which point the team s owner, Jack Dunn, moved the team to Baltimore, Maryland . A newly organized International League formed in 1918, following World War I , and Jersey City received a league franchise.

Infobox company company name Chase Newark fate liquidation successor Two Guys defunct 1967 headquarters Newark, NJ branches Summit, NJ, East Orange, NJ industry retail key people David Chase products Clothing, footwear, bedding, furniture, jewelery, toys, sporting goods, housewares, appliances. Chase Newark was a short lived, upper middle market Department Store based in Newark, New Jersey . The company also operated 2 suburban stores during its three year history. Chase Newark was founded early in 1964 when David Chase purchased the Kresge Newark Department stores from the Kresge Foundation , and leased back 5 floors of the downtown Newark location 1 . When Sebastian Kresge the founder of Kresge Newark died a foundation was set up to run the stores that bore his name. David Chase could have used the Kresge name but instead re branded the stores Chase Newark, as he planned to refocus the stores to be like Kresge , more upmarket compared to Bamberger s , but more trendy and fashion aware than Kresge Newark was. It was reported that David Chase spent close to 1 million dollars renovating the downtown Newark flagship to fit his vision. Chase Newark used 5 selling floors of the flagship building, down from 8 last used by Kresge. The Western Electric Company that leased the 2 top floors from Kresge, now leased the top 5 floors from Chase for use as their corporate offices 1 . Like Kresge, Chase Newark continued the tradition of maintaining display windows in an unbroken chain along the Broad Street, Raymond Blvd., and Halsey Street sides of the flagship. The Chase era did not last long, and in early 1967 it was announced that Chase would cease doing business, and that 4 selling floors of the flagship location were being leased to the Two Guys chain.

History The Advertiser had its beginnings in 1847, when printer William Tomlinson of Stodman Street issued the first Newark Monthly Advertiser. It had four pages and cost 1d. In 1854 Tomlinson made his journal a weekly publication, called it the Newark Advertiser and Farmers Journal, doubled its size to eight pages and trebled the price to 3d. Upon Tomlinson s death his son in law Mr Whiles became the sole owner of the Advertiser. In 1874 Cornelius Brown became editor of the Newark Advertiser. Within months of taking the editor s chair, Mr Brown was ready to buy a half share in the newspaper, for which he paid Mr Whiles 600. The Newark Advertiser Co Ltd was incorporated on September 19, 1882. When Whiles died in 1900, he was succeeded by his son Mr Herbert Whiles. In 1903 Mr J. C. Kew came on to the Advertiser scene in a significant way. He had already been writing for the paper for some years and also ran a coal business at Beaumond Cross. Mr Brown at the age of 51 decided to hand over some of his editorial responsibilities to Mr Kew who was then 35. Cornelius Brown died November 4, 1907 and Mr Kew became editor.
