I got this comment in my email today:
I believe the Independent Leader was located on Green St in the Woodbridge end of township. I believe it was the STAR - LEDGER that gave away the parcels of land , or sold them reasonably, with subscriptions to their newspaper. Thus the name the "STAR-EAGLE" section of town.Lori C. -Iselin resident since 1962
Can you imagine getting a free plot of land with a newspaper subscription? That would be quite exciting. I got an umbrella with a newspaper subscription once, and I was excited about that. Newspapers are upset because no one seems to subscribe anymore -- maybe this is what they need to do again! lol :)
