Mercer Literary Society records
No full textThe Mercer Literary Society, one of the Maryland Agricultural College's earliest student organizations, was founded in 1861 by Dr. William N. Mercer of Louisiana. Open to any individual in good standing with the college, students joined the society to pursue intellectual pursuits that were not addressed in the rigid course work of the nineteenth century. At the Mercer Literary Society meetings, members developed oratory skills and listed to speakers debate the major issues of the day. The society also maintained a library known to be superior to that of the Maryland Agricultural College itself. The original society was reconfigured several times during its existence, ultimately becoming the New Mercer Literary Society in 1896. The records of the Mercer Literary Society consist of minutes, membership lists, and a constitution for the New Mercer Literary Society. The bound volumes also include copies of the Journal of the New Mercer Literary Society

The collection also contains materials related to Gehman’s involvement in American Better Health Publications, American Vegetarian-Hygienist, Health and Strength magazine and the Natural Living Foundation Internationale from the 1920s-1960s. Gehman’s material also includes personal family photographs, and a small number of newspaper clippings, postcards, colored slides, negatives, and correspondence. Doris Doscher Baum was a leading female journalist, model and actress whose work centered on physical culture and naturopathy. Doris’s materials include articles and photographs on stretching exercises, photographs from her career as a model and film actress in the 1920s, and family photographs. Additionally, the collection includes materials related to Bernarr Macfadden, the owner of Macfadden Publications, a prolific author on topics such as health, fitness and bodybuilding, and Gehman’s employer at Physical Culture. The Macfadden materials, which have a small but significant presence in the collection, include his family scrapbook from the 1920s in addition to photographs of Macfadden in his late years

Economic Contribution of the Trenton-Mercer Airport
No full textIn 2016, the Rutgers Economic Advisory Service group (R/ECON™) of Rutgers University prepared the second Economic Impact Report of the Trenton Mercer Airport (commissioned by Mercer County’s Office of Economic Development and Sustainability). It follows and expands upon a preceding study conducted for Mercer County’s Division of Economic Development in November 2006.
This study analyzes the contribution of the Trenton-Mercer Airport (TTN) to the Mercer County economy using the following direct sources of economic activity:
•Airport operating expenditures: These mainly account for the people employed to administer and operate the Airport. Operating expenditures also create jobs supported by the purchasing of supplies and materials, as well as spending on contractual services and utilities.
•Capital investments: These are made to improve the Airport’s facilities and support local jobs. Note that capital investments are not perpetual, thus their economic impacts only occur when improvement projects take place.
•Tenant expenditures: The sum of all the spending incurred by airport tenants to operate their respective businesses. This formula only includes tenants that provide aviation services or provide goods and services to airport users.
•Visitor expenditures: These account for the in-county spending by visitors arriving at the Trenton-Mercer Airport. Visitor spending not only supports airport jobs, but also retail and tourism-related employment.
By applying the R/ECON™ Input-Output model to the direct sources of airport-related spending listed above, we estimate the total economic impacts (direct, indirect, and induced) for Mercer County. The model expresses the resulting jobs, income, and wealth impacts in various levels of industry detail.
The current study is designed to inform operation strategies and establish a common base of knowledge from which long-range plans and initiatives can be developed. Additionally, this report includes a thorough property value analysis, which examines the extent to which proximity to the Trenton-Mercer Airport is correlated with the value of area properties
