As always, I am looking forward to seeing one and all on Sunday. I hope you have a great time during the Meet and Greet booksigning!! Drive safe and enjoy the day!! Best regards, Jerseyman

Berlin Bottling Company Folks: When I assembled my original posting on the Berlin Bottling Company, I did not have the proper time available to dedicate to the research, so I only accessed and provided limited information. This evening I had more time, so I have greatly revised my original...

Hmmm—I guess you just happen to have that quote “handy”?? Best regards, Jerseyman

Unfortunately, Scott—this is yet another apocryphal story about Ben Franklin and his quotes. The correct quote authentically attributable to the cosmopolitan Mr. Franklin is: “Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards; there it enters the roots of the vines, to be changed...

Pine Baron: In March 1906, Rudolph Kiehne acquired 80 White Horse Pike (or Main Street) in Berlin and began operating the Berlin Bottling Works. He had formerly operated a bottling plant at another location in Berlin beginning in 1900. Kiehne and his two sons made home delivery of their...

Folks: Hopefully sometime over the weekend I will have time to add some historic images to this thread. I appreciate your patience. Best regards, Jerseyman

Very, very nice, George! I appreciate you adding this beautiful photograph to this thread! And it’s not even psychedelic!! Imagine what Whipperbill could do with this image!!! Best regards, Jerseyman

Mike: Since Teegate does not have a background in surveying, I guess you could say he plays it by ear—ouch! :siren: Best regards, Jerseyman

Man—this thread really sucks! :mrgreen: Best regards, Jerseyman

Hey, Folks—I’m not telling anyone here what they should or should not consult, whether on-line or off-line. If you all like using Wiki-Tiki, more power to you. This whole thread started because I refuse to accept as definitive evidence that Wikipedia states the birds on the Great Seal of...

Mark and Gabe: While I agree that most of Weakipedia’s content represents true and correct data, I will not and cannot accept any of it at face value. If I EVER submitted an historic context or other documentation to a regulatory agency with a citation from Weakipedia, that governmental body...

Sorry, Pine Baron, but I don’t consider Weakipedia an authoritative source for ANYTHING! The information is only as good as the person submitting it and anyone can go in and goof with it. Best regards, Jerseyman __________________ scriptor rerum Nova Caesarea Dei memor, gratus amicus

Guy: This is an excellent idea and I have seen it done on other websites. Not only would it offer some rudimentary protection for individual’s images, but it would also serve as advertisement for Ben’s NJPineBarrens site. Let me know if you can add such a feature to the photo tools here...

Thanks for the concurrence on my opinions, Relic Hunter. We have had other posters here that take umbrage with my viewpoint. Just because folks think there is nothing wrong with it does not make it right—or legal! Best regards, Jerseyman __________________ scriptor rerum Nova Caesarea Dei...

No harm done, no foul received. The crazy Cossack spoke with Walt today and, as Guy suggested, he pulled the image from here. So, we are no closer to solving the mystery. However, Walt and Mark both suggested that I show the images to Ted Gordon, so I will take the originals to the booksigning...

While I do not have any historic images of Cranberry Hall to offer, I can supply some great views of Pointville if anyone would be interested. Just let me know. Best regards, Jerseyman

Good people, beautiful surroundings, and stimulating conversation. These are the best things life has to offer! Thank you, Lynn—your generosity is only exceeded by your patient, genteel nature! And wonderful to meet one and all and put a face to a name! Best regards, Jerseyman

Relic Hunter: I agree with you that metal detecting on a beach can be a real thrill—been there, done that. Even city or county parks represent great places to find items inadvertantly dropped by our forefathers. As long as those pursuing the hobby remain respectful of potential archaeological...

The Great Seal of Burlington County Mike, et al.: I have pondered the Great Seal of Burlington County and its origins for a year or more. In my opinion, the birds flying overhead are some type of waterfowl, possibly Canada Geese. Depending on which seal you examine, there are either 15 or 16...

Very nice, Mike—this is exactly what we need to fill in the modern age for this thread. If you take more digital images at Atsion, please select the better ones and continue posting them here. Best regards, Jerseyman
