INTRODUCTION
R. L. POLK & CO., publishers of more than 800 city, county, state and national Direc- tories, present to subscribers and the general public, this, the 1950 edition of the Provi- dence City Directory.
Confidence in the growth of Providence'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 Providence to the world.
The enviable position occupied by R. L. POLK & CO.'S Directories in the estimation of the public throughout the country, has been established by rendering the best in Direc- tory 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 Provi- dence Directory will fulfill its mission as a source of authentic information pertaining to the city.
FIVE MAJOR DEPARTMENTS
The five major departments are arranged in the following order :-
THE MISCELLANEOUS DEPARTMENT, pages 8 to 24, on white paper, presents lists of city, county, state and federal officials; post office, public school and fraternal organization Directories; statistical review; historical sketch; and manufacturing, trade and civic surveys.
THE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF NAMES of residents and business and professional concerns is included in pages 29 to 706, on white paper. This is the only record in, existence that aims to show the name, marital status, occupation and address of each adult resident of Providence, and the name, official personnel, nature and address of each firm and corporation in the city.
THE BUYERS' GUIDE, beginning opposite page 708 and separately paged from 1 to 156, on tinted paper, contains the advertisements of leading manufacturing, business and professional interests of Providence and vicinity. The advertisements are indexed under headings descriptive of the business represented. This is reference advertising at its best, and merits a survey by all buyers eager to familiarize themselves with sources of supply. In a progressive community like Providence, the necessity of having this kind of information immediately available, is obvious. General appreciation of this fact is evidenced by the many reference users of this City Directory service.
THE CLASSIFIED BUSINESS DIRECTORY is included in pages 709 to 824, on yellow paper. This department lists the names of all business and professional concerns in alphabetical order under appropiate headings. This feature constitutes an invaluable and indispensable catalog of the numerous interests of the community. The Directory is the common intermediary between buyer and seller. As such it plays an important part in the daily activities of the commercial and professional world. More buyers and sellers meet through the Classified Business Directory than through any other medium.
