FIickerless'SAFETY STANDARD"Motion^PictureProjector 
Embodies seven years of successful experience 
gained in the world-wide sale and use of over 
10,000 former models in exclusive City and 
Country Homes, Schools, Churches, Clubs, and 
Commercial Establishments. 
The New Premier is as great an improvement over the former 
models as the modern self-starting, high-powered limousine is superior 
to the auto of ten years ago. So simple that anybody can operate 
it. So exquisitely built that its pictures amaze and delight the expert 
critics. So safe with its “Safety Standard”, slow-burning film that it 
is labeled by the Underwriters “Enclosing booth not required.” 
The operation of any portable projector USING CELLULOID 
FILMS without a fire-proof enclosing booth is prohibited by 
State, Municipal and Insurance restrictions, and the violator 
is subject to severe penalties. 
But the New Premier Pathescope can be used anywhere without a 
licensed operator or without violation of any insurance restrictions! 
Weighs only 23 pounds with universal motor. Fits in a small suit¬ 
case for the traveller or can be mounted on a handsome cabinet. 
Through the Pathescope Film Exchanges already established in prin¬ 
cipal cities the Pathescope owner may rent or exchange reels as 
often as desired. 
Thousands of reels of the world’s best Dramas, Comedies, Animated 
Cartoons, Scientific, Travel, Educational and War Pictures now 
available and more added weekly. 
Think of having Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, 
Wm. S. Hart in your own home,—or you can 
Take Your Own Motion Pictures 
with the Pathescope Camera, as hundreds arc 
doing, and preserve a priceless record of loved 
ones —in living, fascinating action on the screen. 
We number among our patrons such discriminat¬ 
ing purchasers as Vincent Astor, Mrs. J. Ogden 
Armour, Frederick G. Bourne, four of the Du 
Ponts, Mrs. Edwin Gould, Mrs. Pembroke Jones, 
H O Havemeyer, Jr., Otto Kahn, Chas. S. Mellen, 
Henry C. Phipps, Mrs. Jacob Schiff, Mrs. Alfred 
G. Vanderbilt, F. W. Woolworth and others. 
Schools and Institutions 
Over two hundred thousand Public School children see Pathescope 
Educational Pictures every week through the equipment of only 
one hundred of the New York Public Schools. 
All schools need and should have them. 
Many now used and more needed by the V. M. C. A., Boy Scouts, 
Camp Fire Girls, Christian Endeavor Society, Epworth League, 
Social Settlement Workers, Parents Associations, Industrial Welfare 
Societies, Orphan Asylums, Convalescents’ Homes, Sanitariums 
everywhere that life can be made better worth living by the safe 
use of wholesome motion pictures. 
Industrial Users 
We number among our clients the most prominent manufacturers using 
motion pictures as an aid to salesmanship. Many of them adopted the 
Pathescope after unsatisfactory and expensive efforts to use unapproved 
projectors with dangerous celluloid films. The salesman 
equipped to show his product by motion pictures not only 
gets a showing but gets the order. Literature on request 
if not convenient to call at the Pathescope Salon for a 
demonstration.

In addition to Prohibition most of the old 
inns today seem to be suffering from alleged 
architectural improvements, yet often enough 
of the old building is left to charm the eye 
Where the Sign Still Swings 
(Continued from page 68) 
once called Bottle Hill. The old Man¬ 
sion House, “Ye Olde Inn” as the sign 
reads, was duly sketched. Its dark red 
color is not alluring, but the building 
has a dignity and simplicity, notwith¬ 
standing. 
The next run had the ’76 House at 
Tappan as its objective. Washington 
still pursued us, although we had now 
no intention of trailing him. But it 
was useless to ignore history, and the 
very nice proprietor of the Mansion 
House at Hackensack refused to let us 
slight it in the least. His almost per¬ 
sonal knowledge of the doings of Wash¬ 
ington and his staff was most impres¬ 
sive. He showed us the spot, where 
in 1776, Washington had been informed 
of the attack upon Fort Lee, departing 
immediately for Englewood on horse¬ 
back only to meet his troops in retreat, 
returning with his staff to Hackensack 
where he camped upon the Green just 
opposite the Mansion House, not at 
that time bearing so impressive a title 
We were urged to hunt up another 
inn towards North Hackensack, but this 
we never located, unappeased hunger 
and the inevitable hunt for the best 
place to spread our luncheon, inter¬ 
fering. Not one of the casual passers- 
by could enlighten us, but an amiable 
and interested housewife sent us, in¬ 
stead, to a charming old house by the 
river, said of course to be a stopping 
place of the General. We ate our luncheon 
here, by the bridge. 
Tappan was reached at the end of a 
delightful run through old Dutch coun¬ 
try, but we found the ’76 House dis¬ 
appointing. Although not obliterated 
by gingerbread porches, and though a 
large sign told us proudly that it was 
restored by the owner not so long ago, 
its corrugated iron roof and its general 
air of country delapidation makes one 
wish that the inn that prisoned that 
brave and gay Andre might be preserved 
for us in a more attractive state. 
Another day’s run, taken upon the 
faint rumor of inns, from Far Hills to 
Pluckemin and Somerville, yielded 
nothing of interest until Bound Brook 
was reached. The old tavern at Plucke¬ 
min had burned down some years ago 
and the new and prosperous-lookii g 
Kenilworth Inn had been built upon its 
pleasant site. Disliking its dressy ce¬ 
ment work and flaunting red geraniums 
so out of character with the sleepy lit¬ 
tle town, we did not linger, but pressed 
on through Somerville, where both 
taverns about the County Court House 
had been “done over” so awfully we 
escaped with relief and made for Bound 
Brook. 
Here, persistent inquiry led us to S. 
Louise Fisher’s Hotel—and a quaint lit¬ 
tle place we found it externally. Aunt 
Louise, herself, was cleaning out a pan¬ 
try but her gentlemanly nephew showed 
us about. Though still sporting a sign, 
it was evident that with prohibition the 
life had gone out of the place. For a 
hundred years and over, the Fisher fam¬ 
ily had dispensed hospitality, and 
changed outwardly but little the aspect 
of the building, whose years numbered 
almost two hundred. Between the great 
beams of the tap-room we were shown 
the crescent marks made by the old 
muskets of the Revolutionary soldiers 
as they hammered them.against the low 
ceiling, when they paused there for the 
refreshment that is now denied. 
Not being able ever to pass through 
the vicinity of the Dutch Oven near 
Westfield without a hungry feeling, we 
piled out here at the old house whose 
rustic swinging sign calls in from the 
road many a long distance motorist to 
enjoy the famous “cheese surprises”. 
Some of the old furniture alone would 
fascinate a collector or even a mere 
novice at the game of admiring the an¬ 
tique, and the house itself has a com¬ 
fortable dignity of well-being as it sets 
back amongst its shrubs and flowers, 
partly hidden from the road. 
Only a few are these of the many tav¬ 
erns along the post roads of New Jersey, 
but they recall most vividly in passing, 
the days when travel, even thirty miles 
from a metropolis, was a thing to under¬ 
take only after weeks of preparation 
and due reflection and prayer.
