Subjects: This mill was built on the site of the Boonton, New Jersey forge where the first "hand-made nails" in America were (illegally) produced; cannonballs used by George Washington's army were also made there. Some time after this photo was taken, the building was demolished; by 1911, the site was underwater "to the depth of sixty feet".

bably never have been.Many of these places will not wait forever for some belated photographer to come along. People will wake up some day,when it is too late, and say, Why did not some one make a picture of this place? Don't let that time come, but get on the job at once. ,1 think it would be a fine thing if camera clubs would take up this matter and arrange outings to such places. This would probably start some one who would be-come interested enough to follow it up. A set of photos of this kind is always of interest, not alone to yourself, but to any one who sees them. I think I have said enough to show what can be done along this line if you will make it an object when you go on a picture hunting trip. Reader, think this over, and see if you do not in the end coincide with me that it is better to use your plates—and time,too—on something worth while—something that will always be of interest—than it is to waste your plates on things that after a week or two are completely forgotten. 48
