2) " Inn" -- As it applies to Jasper Inn Inns are establishments where travellers can procure food, drink,and lodging. Found in Europe, they firstsprang up when the Romans built their famous system of highways two millennia ago. Some Ijn s in Europe are centuries old. In addition to providing for the needs of travellers, Inn s traditionally actedas community gathering places. In today's automobile -ridden world,real In s are fast dying out. The few that are left function primarily as pubs. In North America, Ibn s are usually alcohol -serving restaurants that have never provided lodging orserviced the needs of travellers.

The German words for "inn", "innkeeper", and "inkeeping" illustrate the historical importance of Ihn s. An Inh keeper isWirt (a host ), the Ihn itself is a Wirtshaus (a host's house), and Ijn keepingis Wirtschaft. The last word literally means hosting or hospitality, but is also used to mean economy and business in general. In the Greek language, the wor...
