That was the characteristic Sadler we afterw^ard knew^, plain — democratic — no frills — dow^nright business. In 1 893, he built 33 miles of street railw^ays in Schuyl- kill County, Pa. , w^hich betoken brains, skill and nerve in a chap just turned tw^enty-tw^o. Thereafter, until the year he came to Trenton, Sadler proved an adept in railroad construc- tion and laid dow^n a number of big lines in Pennsylvania. He came to Trenton with, as he said oftimes, **$75 and a load of sand. " It must have... been character sand, the **sand" of a game man, and it lasted him a lifetime. Trenton w^as still in the one-horse stage — cut off from car-line communi- cation w^ith the contiguous farming territory — when Sadler settled here to construct suburban raiWays. Forth- w^ith he changed the tow^n's business, the tow^n's aspect and the tow^n's habits of thought. With his construction of the Trenton, Princeton and Law^rence- ville line, he connected the richest farming section and the most populous borough town of Mercer County with the city of Trenton — a stroke of good fortune for Trenton and its merchants.
