  • This Technicolor color film was produced in 1956 for the New Jersey Bell Telephone Company, and based on a 1953 John T. Cunningham book This is New Jersey. The film opens with a bird’s eye view of New Jersey (1:00), bordered by Philadelphia and New York City (1:12-1:28), Cape May (1:33) and High Point (1:40). Reminders of the past include a Revolutionary War cannon (4:03), Washington’s Headquarters at Morristown (4:06), Washington’s pistol (4:22), the McConkey Ferry Inn (4:40), where Washington crossed the Delaware at night (4:48-5:26) to secure his Trenton and Princeton victories (5:27). Oxford Furnace was built in 1742 in Warren County (5:46-6:00). The Mount Hope mining operation is shown (6:03-6:26). Steel cables are manufactured in Trenton since 1854 (6:44-7:17), and used on the George Washington Bridge (7:17). Steel goes into Singer sewing machines (7:24), tin cans made in Jersey City (7:31-7:46), irrigation pumps made in Harrison (7:48-8:00), the USS Hartley (DE-1029) made in Camden and launched November 24, 1956 (8:02-8:15), and merchant ships (8:17-8:29). Industrialization began in 1791 along the Passaic River (9:17-9:50). New Jersey is called “the Garden State” due to dairy farms that support 4H and the FFA (10:17-10:47). Various vegetables are picked (10:49-11:14), as are fruit trees (11:15-11:42). New Jersey has Thoroughbred horses (11:52-12:18), orchid farms in Middlesex Borough (12:22-12:43), and eggs sold at Flemington Auctions (12:47-14:11). Cumberland County uses irrigation (14:23-15:19). Seabrook Farms agents use “mobile telephones” for orders (15:21-15:24). A crop duster is shown (15:39-15:46). Rutgers tomatoes are hand-picked and processed at a cannery (15:50-16:43). The Rutgers Experimental Station has made other advances (16:45-17:45). A County Agent drives his Studebaker (17:47) to talk to a farmer. Universities include Rutgers (18:04-18:12) and Princeton with its Nassau Hall and tributes to President Woodrow Wilson (18:13-18:50). Albert Einstein’s house is in the city of Princeton (19:00), as is his place of work, The Institute for Advanced Study (19:08). Other Universities include Seton Hall (19:23), Fairleigh Dickinson (19:31), and Stevens Institute of Technology (19:44). School children run to 1950s bicycles (20:18). Thomas Edison worked at the West Orange Research Laboratories and his private study remains (20:51-21:29), as does his “Black Maria” first motion picture studio (21:29). Research centers include Esso (21:54), Johnson & Johnson (21:59), and Federal Telecommunication Laboratories (ITT) (22:02). Scientists at Bell Telephone Laboratories at Murray Hill do experiments (22:10-22:45). Various medical drugs are produced (22:50-23:39), including at Bristol-Myers. Industries include glassblowing (23:51-24:13), gold jewelry (24:15), tanneries (24:24), and telephone cable production (24:35). Products for sale are transported by trains (24:58), airplanes (25:15), and trucks (25:42). For fun, there’s Atlantic City (25:58) beaches, boardwalks, and casinos; and the 1956 Miss America pageant won by Marian McKnight (26:11-26:53). The Jersey shore has the Barnegat Bay lighthouse (26:55), Cape May (27:12-27:38), Fort Delaware Confederate prison (27:44), the Avalon sand dunes (28:03), the Sea Isle City commercial fishing fleets (28:17-28:46), and freshwater fishing (29:05). New construction continues with 1950s heavy machinery (29:21-29:48). The film ends with flashbacks already seen.

    Sadly NJ has changed considerably since this film was made. Only 40% of her land remains forest. Her beaches have shrunk and Atlantic City is just a casino spot now. Bell Telephone was run out of the state by Comcast Corp (formerly Garden State Cable) and the cost of living is one of the highest in the nation. The beauty is still here and rural living is quite comfortable (still some of the best fishing anywhere too!) but it's rough growing up here. The benefit of which is it created some of the toughest people in the country.

      I first saw THIS IS NEW JERSEY in 1963 when I was in the 5th grade. Years later I met John Cunningham who wrote the script for the film I am told, and he gave me his personal Technicolor copy in which you are seeing here. John Cunningham had written a popular book of the same title in 1953. Also, the production company, Owen-Murphy Productions, who did films for AT&T, also was contracted in 1959 for the film ALL ABOUT NEW YORK, you can see on Periscope's You Tube channel. Both films are similar in their production and format.

NJ Bell, the sponsor, premiered the film in 1957 at the Robert Treat Hotel in Newark, NJ, home base for NJ Bell.

      I remember when there were nothing but factories in North Jersey. When they did the massive lay offs, they gave no benefits, or terrible compensation for years of dedicated work. The companies were greedy and only cared about money. Their greed destroyed work ethic because no one wants to dedicate themselves to be thrown away when your company finds cheaper slave labor elsewhere.

    I was born in Manhattan but have a connection to New Jersey too. I married a girl from Sewell NJ. I was in the Navy and she was my supervisor's wife's maid of honor. Barbara was from Mullica Hill. When I got out I commuted to work at the World Trade Center. I really hadn't wanted to go back to New York Telephone but there was a recession in 1975 when I got out. I lasted until 1979. I couldn't stand the state. Expensive and cold. Commuting was killing me and our marriage. I went for the office and asked if there was somewhere I could transfer to. I'd spent my teens in Florida and I wasn't going back there.
    She agreed to Charlotte, NC. I went back South but only half way. She had three friends she'd graduated from college with living there and My best friend since the 8th grade was there. He'd transferred out of Miami here we'd gone to school and started with Southern Bell.
    We were packing and my wife found some of my papers. She said, "There's town in Bergen County with your mother's maiden name." I said yeah, "My Great Grandfather owned a saw mill there in the 1600s. He used to be the Magistrate of Haarlem before the English came." I opened up more of the stuff for her to see. Another Great Grandfather founded Woodbury. My wife was born in Woodbury. Anyway in 1865 my Grandfather Garret moved to New York City. I should have taken the hint and never came back here.
    We're 42 years now. After the AT&T breakup I was laid off and started a business. We did fairly well and we've been a while. I don't think we could have done this in New Jersey. Too much red tape and expenses. Taxes are reasonable here. I pay about the same amount of real estate tax here for 2200 sq. ft. house and an oceanfront house near Camp Lejeune as I was paying for a 1600 sq. ft. house for my mother in law to live in in Gloucester County.
    The last few years a number of corporations have left NJ and settled here in Charlotte. Most employees came with them. We're happy to have anyone who comes but we do have one request. Leave the Democrat Party up there. You've shmutzed up your own nest don't foul ours. We don't need your high taxes and your anti-gun laws.

    12:50 - My grandfather had a successful poultry farm in Ocean County, starting in 1922. He had a lot of good customers, and shipped his eggs as far away as New York City. But by 1956 he was apparently not making any money at it any more, and sold off all the chickens. He concentrated 100% on produce after that, and made enough through his roadside stand to cover the property taxes and other expenses. He sold the farm in 1988. 15:22 - Seabrook Farms is not in Bridgeton. It is in Upper Deerfield Township. After that, there was discussion of our tomatoes, but the narrator failed to mention the old story about the man who stood on the steps of the Salem County courthouse in 1820 and ate a tomato in front of a crowd. Up to that point they had been thought to be poisonous.

There were train engine houses where they had to change from diesel to electric and vice-versa. And tons of highways ran through through there. The Raritan bridges were just ahead.

    I was born in Long Branch in 1971. New Jersey is the most unique state, in my opinion. I have been to many, but coming home is always welcome. I lived NM for 4 years, and couldn't wait to come back. Something had changed, though. WNEW was gone. KRock was gone. My town of Monmouth Beach was not the same. It had become a place infested with out-of-staters. Hardly any native New Jerseyans left. They don't understand what New Jersey is all about, and have no loyalty to it. I hate that Jersey is run by people who hate it. I liked the singular distinction that no other state liked us. When I told people where I was from out west, they took a step back. I hate that one of the original 13 states is a blue state, when it should be red, patriotic as hell! But sadly, it's run by corrupt, backstabbing idiots that don't care. I love my state, and would ser it restored to it's rightful place. Come hell or high water (sometimes literally) I never want to leave! I LOVE New Jersey!

      Here's the issue: Tens of thousands of films similar to this one have been lost forever -- destroyed -- and many others are at risk. Our company preserves these precious bits of history one film at a time. How do we afford to do that? By selling them as stock footage to documentary filmmakers and broadcasters. If we did not have a counter, we could not afford to post films like these online, and no films would be preserved. It's that simple. So we ask you to bear with the watermark and timecodes.
      In the past we tried many different systems including placing our timer at the bottom corner of our videos. What happened? Unscrupulous RUclips users downloaded our vids, blew them up so the timer was not visible, and re-posted them as their own content! We had to use content control to have the videos removed and shut down these channels. It's hard enough work preserving these films and posting them, without having to spend precious time dealing with policing thievery -- and not what we devoted ourselves to do.

    The regional phone companies back then did well with its marketing and public relations for being the monopolies they were; as long-distance phone rates were astronomically high when adjusted for inflation. Telecommunications deregulation, in the 1980s, did wonders to drive down the cost of long-distance phone call rates.
    In the west coast of the US in 1963, a long distance phone call of 250 ~ 1K miles distance could range from 25 to 50 cents PER MINUTE; that'd be around $2.25 to $4.50 *per minute* in 2022 when adjusted for inflation.
