=Towns near Delaware Bay.=--Farther south on the outskirts of the Philadelphia Metropolitan District are the very active business and industrial center, =Salem=, settled by the Quakers in 1675, =Bridgeton=, =Vineland=, and =Millville=. In these towns the glass factories are extensive and make all kinds of glass articles. In =Bridgeton= and =Millville= many persons are employed in the mining and shipping of glass sand. Molding sand is also a product. In and surrounding these towns are large areas of farm land devoted to the raising of all kinds of vegetables, berries, and tree fruits for the markets. Great quantities of these are preserved in the many large canning factories which are located in them. =Vineland= produces much bottled grape juice. These towns have also diversified industries of other kinds. In =Cape May Court House= the important industrial activities are the making of glass bottles and the raising of berries and other fruits. =Cities and Towns on the Atlantic Coast.=--Along the Atlantic coast are many cities and towns which are popular health and pleasure resorts. The many railroads which connect them with the large cities have made them convenient of access so that thousands of people visit them in the summer time. The largest of these is =Atlantic City=, which is the largest seaside resort in the country and is devoted entirely to the entertainment of visitors. It is said to contain more than one thousand hotels. Its permanent population numbers somewhat more than 50,000, but in the summer time its population is estimated at about 300,000. It has a climate favorable to those who are convalescing from illness or seek to recuperate their health. On this account it is a popular resort during the entire year. It has a superior school system and all the other facilities and institutions which mark the progressive city. =Long Branch=, farther north, is the oldest resort on the coast. Another resort of many years standing is =Cape May City=. Other well-known resorts are =Ocean City=, =Point Pleasant=, =Sea Girt=, =Manasquan=, =Spring Lake=, =Belmar=, =Ocean Grove=, =Asbury Park=, =Sea Bright=, and =Atlantic Highlands=. =Red Bank=, with its many attractive country homes, is situated on the Navesink and is classed as a seaside resort. =Lakewood=, among the pines of Ocean County, is a popular winter health resort.
