Harrison, New Jersey.  Harrison lies directly east of the great manufacturing city of Newark, and it most directly and naturally considered as a part of the city. Although separated by the placid waters of the Passaic. Yet East Newarkers are in such close proximity to the very heart of the city of Newark that the term suburb would even indicate a much greater distance from the central part of the city.

Many parts of the suburban sections of Newark, which are largely and thickly populated, are much farther from the centers of trade and travel than any portion of Harrison. This fact combined with its manufacturing and commercial facilities has given, in the recent past and present, a healthy impetus to East Newark's general prosperity. Inasmuch as the larger most generally absorbs the smaller, it is most likely that at no distant day the term Harrison must legislatively surrender to the progressive march of the great city of Newark, and that what is now Harrison will become an additional ward of that city.
