A few Paterson New Jersey photos from the early days.

[epackage]

Here are a few pic's from the town in which I collect my bottles, Paterson New Jersey. They date from the late 1880's thru the 1920's. This first pic is of the famous Paterson Falls on the Passaic River, it was taken in 1882 by John Reid and is an ad for Morrison's Stereo Lense. I could take a more detailed pic but I have it behind glass and don't want to go thru the trouble of removing it now. It is a gelatin print and it looks unreal when you see it for real.
