from the crest of Bergen Hill, with command of view that includes the whole panorama of the Island of Manhattan, the Hudson River, the great harbor, and New Jersey inland to Newark and the Oranges, stands the new building of the Trust Company of New Jersey.

Located on the southwest corner of Bergen and Sip Avenues, Jersey City, it has a situation that not only gives it the utmost convenience of access from New York and all surrounding suburbs and towns, but that also makes it central to all the business activities of this industrial and commercial New Jersey territory.

Past its doors go the principal trolley lines, as well as jitney and bus lines that radiate through Hudson County. It is on the lines of the Hudson and Manhattan River Tube trains, and branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad.

Throughout its design and construction there has been a consistently executed plan for combining the most complete modern utility and comfort with the greatest beauty attainable in these tall structures which so admirably lend themselves to splendid effects. Its architects, Clinton & Russell, have made it a perfect expression of the Italian Renaissance style, attaining height and magnitude with effortless grace.
