PUBLISHERS NOTE

The information in this Directory is gathered by an actual door to door can- vass and is compiled in a way to insure maximum accuracy.

The publishers cannot and do not guarantee the correctness of all information furnished them nor the complete absence of errors or omissions, hence no re- sponsibility for same can be or is assumed.

The publishers earnestly request the bringing to their attention of any inac- curacy so that it may be corrected in the next edition of the Directory.

INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL INDEX

R. L. POLK & CO., publishers of more than 1,400 city, county, state and national Directories, present to subscribers and the general public, this, the latest edition of the Boston City Di- rectory. The Directory also includes Allston, Brighton, Charles- town, Dorchester, East Boston, Hyde Park, Jamaica Plain, Mat- tapan, Readville, Roslindale, Roxbury, South Boston and West Roxbury.

Confidence in the continued growth of Boston's industry, population and wealth, and in the advancement of its civic and social activities, will be maintained as sections of this Directory are consulted, for the Directory is a mirror truly reflecting Bos- tor to the world.

The enviable position occupied by R. L. POLK & CO.'S Di- rectories in the estimation of the public throughout the country, has been established by rendering the best in Directory service. With an unrivaled organization, and having had the courteous and hearty cooperation of the business and professional men and residents, the publishers feel that the result of their labors will meet with the approval of every user, and that the Boston Di- rectory will fulfill its mission as a source of authentic informa- tion pertaining to the city and vicinity.

Four Major Departments

The four major departments are arranged in the following order: -

I. THE BUYERS' GUIDE constitutes the first major depart- ment of the Directory, printed on yellow paper. In the first section of this department, grouped under appropriate headings, are included the advertisements and business cards of firms and individuals desiring to make a complete presentation of their products or services. Following this is the Classified Business section, which embraces a list of the names and addresses of all business and professional concerns of the city, arranged in al- phabetical order under appropriate headings-a catalog of all the activities of the city. The Buyers' Guide represents reference advertising at its best, and merits the attention of all buyers and sellers seeking sources of supply or markets for goods. In a great commercial, industrial and cultural center like Boston, the necessity of having this kind of information up-to-date and al- ways immediately available, is obvious. The Directory is the common intermediary between buyer and seller, and plays an important role in the daily activities of the commercial, indus- trial and professional world.

II. THE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF NAMES of residents and business and professional concerns is the second major de-

partment, printed on white paper. This is the only record in ex- istence that aims to show the name, marital status, occupation and address of each adult resident of Boston and vicinity, and the name, official personnel, nature and address of each firm and corporation.

III. THE DIRECTORY OF HOUSEHOLDERS, INCLUDING STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE is the third major department, printed on green paper. In this section the numbered streets are arranged in numerical order, followed by the named streets in alphabetical order, the numbers of the residences and business concerns are arranged in numerical order under the name of each street, and the names of the householders and concerns are placed opposite the numbers. The names of the intersecting streets appear at their respective crossing points on each street. Special features of this section are the designation of owner oc- cupied homes, the listing of telephone numbers, new householder symbols and Zip Code numbers.

IV. THE NUMERICAL TELEPHONE DIRECTORY is the fourth major department, printed on blue paper.

Community Publicity

The Directory reflects the achievements and ambitions of the community, depicting in unbiased terms what it has to offer as a place of residence, as a business location, as a port, as a manufacturing site and as an educational center. To broadcast this information, the publishers have placed copies of this issue of the Directory in Directory Libraries, where they are readily available for free public reference, and serve as perpetual and reliable advertisements of Boston and vicinity.

The Boston Directory Library

Through the courtesy of the publishers of the Boston City Directory, a Directory Library is maintained in their offices at 600 Washington St., for free reference by the general public. This is one of more than over 800 Directory Libraries installed in cities and towns throughout the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico through the courtesy of your Publisher.

The publishers appreciatively acknowledge the recognition by those progressive business and professional men who have demonstrated their confidence in the City Directory as an adver- tising medium, with assurance that it will bring a commensurate return.

BOSTON

"HUB OF THE UNIVERSE"

"A MODERN CITY WITH A UNIQUE HISTORY"

(This information furnished through the courtesy of the Research and Development Department of the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce)

From roots of rugged tradition, Boston is now rising to new dominance as one of America's most modern cities and most dynamic markets. The city has become many things. It is a world center of nuclear, electronic and medical science-a pow- erful financial artery of the country-a gateway between foreign ports and the whole northeast marketing community. And it is the northern anchor of the steadily-emerging East Coast strip-city of tomorrow.

Boston today vibrates with the fresh energy of large-scale construction and a thousand vigorous industries, soundly estab- lished or excitingly new. The mind, too, enlivens and widens it- self here in a climate of cultural depth and great universities.

Planner and builder, industrialist and merchant, scientist and artists are at work in this major American market, building a massive new opportunity.

Greater Boston is an immense robust family of 78 cities and towns, which cover 988 square miles within which live over 2,600, 000 people. The nation's seventh largest metropolitan area, it also is the fourth largest wholesale center and the principal market-place of New England.

Its rank as sixth largest manufacturing area in terms of einployees has been won by a prodigious output of fabricated metal products, printing and publishing, chemicals, wearing ap- parel, rubber goods, footwear and paper, and by the important contribution of the electronic and nucleonic industries.

From this muscular accomplishment, the area's energy flows now into unprecedented new construction, helped by the city administration's stabilizing of the tax structure. A billion dollars of construction is under way or in the planning stage. This includes the new $100 million Government Center; Tech- nology Square, with 800, 000 square feet of office, laboratory and technical space; the towering Prudential Center; Charles River Park, a new multi-million dollar office shopping center, theater, and apartment complex; and a 1,500 car parking garage beneath historic Boston Common. A new, second vehicular tunnel which now speeds added traffic under Boston Harbor is symbolic of the area's dedication to a thorough transportation system. This sys- tem has been developed in a wheel-like pattern around Greater Boston's complex of cities and towns. The present outer rim is Route 128-"the Golden Semi-Circle." The hub is formed by the Central Artery and the Inner Belt Expressway through Boston it- self. Seven expressways-four in use and three planned-form the spokes of the wheel. The Outer Belt Expressway (Interstate Route 495) spreads another great rim around the city, joined to the hub complex by extensions of the spoke expressways.

Route 128 already is the 65-mile-long home of 574 firms, and commercial and industrial development grows apace on the present inner expressways. On the Outer Belt Expressway, as it swings far out into central Massachusetts, a similar growth undoubtedly will take place, aided by Massachusetts' favorable tax situation.

In the suburbs, six major regional shopping centers, dozens of smaller ones, restaurants, hotels, and thousands of new homes emphasize the city's outward reach. The evolution of large in- dustrial parks-67 of them now exist-has occurred more rapidly than in any other section of the country. Here, then is the story of Greater Boston-its people, its places, its burgeoning market potential-as it moves toward the dramatic strip-city dream that already is merging all the communities of the Eastern Seaboard.

THE PEOPLE

Tne "George Apley" image of the typical Bostonian, plod- ding with starchy gait along famed Commonwealth Ave., exists today only in fiction. Modern Bostonians derive from Irish, Italian, English, French, Portuguese, German, Chinese and other

origins. They thrive together, alertly aware of the vivid past and the rising new strengths of their city. They are a reservoir of many talents and skills, and a responsive market both for products of general appeal and those desired by specific groups.

The student market for teen-age and college level products is large and responsive.

CHURCHES

Boston Churches serve virtually every denomination, and many, such as Old North Church, Park Street Church and Trini- ty Church in Copley Square, are distinguished historic or archi- tectural landmarks. The Roman Catholic Archdiocese, with its center at the famous Holy Cross Cathedral, is the second largest in the U. S. The Basilica of Our Lady of Perpetual Help is one of only twelve in the country.

Protestant denominations include Apostolic, Baptist, Con- gregational, Episcopal, Evangelical, Lutheran, Methodist, Pres- byterian, Unitarian and Universalist, as well as the First Church of Christ Scientist, world headquarters of the Christian Science Church. The World Christian Endeavor's headquarters was first established here, as were the Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Associations and the far-reaching missionary activi- ties of the Congregational Church.

Splendid Jewish temples also are an important part of the city's religious life.

HOSPITALS

Health is Greater Boston's third largest "industry, " in terms of dollars invested and spent. The community is pre-emi- nent in medical skills, research, and facilities. People journey from around the globe for treatment at Boston's internationally- respected medical institutions.

In the Metropolitan Area, 7, 000 patients are treated daily in 52 voluntary hospitals. Expenses of these hospitals total more than $100 million annually, of which over $63 million is payroll expense. Payrolls of proprietary and government-financed hos- pitals increase this by an added $14 million. Three great medi- cal schools-Harvard, Tufts, and Boston University-and hos-

pitals associated with them have won generous grants from Fed- eral and other sources for medical exploration. The Program for Harvard Medicine alone has an aggregate total of $58 million. Other research projects, including a nuclear reactor at Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology, will bring new victories to the many impressive medical discoveries already achieved through Boston medical science.

Boston is believed to provide the best medical care in the world. The market for medical and similar supplies, thus, is large and constant.

INSURANCE CENTER

Boston is a nationally important insurance center. The foremost U. S. insurance companies have home or regional offices within the city or in suburban office parks and other "greenbelt" locations. The tallest building in New England is the home office of one nation-wide insurance company. Another is creating, intown, the second largest multi-block complex in the U. S .- encompassing smartly modern shops, restaurants, busi- ness buildings, its own regional office, and a magnificent audi- torium built by the City. Other insurance companies have recent- ly erected new buildings or extensive additions.

INVESTMENT AND FINANCE

Metropolitan Boston has 26 national banks operating 111 offices and 37 trust companies with 98 branches, all in Greater Boston. These 272 bank offices give each city and town easy access to a commercial bank.

The Metropolitan Area also has 133 savings institutions with total deposits of over $3 billion; 21 savings and loan asso- ciations with deposits of $450 million; 100 co-operative banks with deposits of $780 million; and numerous credit unions.

Virtually every dollar spent in New England journeys through Boston at some time. As District One headquarters of the Federal Reserve system, the city has the financial facilities, ser- vices and skills which compare most favorably with those of any other U. S. area. Particularly valued is the broad foreign trade experience of its bankers, together with strategically-located world-wide branch offices and correspondent relationships. Bos- ton banks take pride in delivering credit information swiftly from extensive, fast-reference files.
