1919; MERCER RUBBER CO.: THE SAYEN CONNECTION

Most folks associate the name "Sayen" with Sayen Gardens, the beautiful Hamilton Township park in Hamilton Square. Here's an article which shows the connection the Sayen family had with C.V. Meade's Mercer Rubber Company. Mr. Meade was the pioneer in Trenton's extensive rubber industry, having entered the industrial scene in the mid 19th century. The old Hamilton Rubber Company on Meade Street in East Trenton was one of his enterprises. More on Charles V. Meade in future posts.
