Providence is of interest historically by reason of its fine old houses and public edifices that are excel- lent examples of Colonial architecture. There are the First Baptist Meeting House, built in 1775; the old State House, the old Market Building in Market Square, and private residences too numerous to mention which principally are located on the hill. It is safe to say that there are more varied examples of residential archi- tecture in Providence than in any other city in the U. S., each one a type of the best in architecture covering the period from the Colonial days to the present.
The population of Rhode Island is the largest per square mile of any state, and yet this is the smallest state in the Union. Providence is considered the world's largest jewelry manufacturing center and one of the nation's largest centers for the distribution of petroleum products. The city is important in the manufacture of machine tools, textile machinery, rubber goods, iron and steel products, silverware, and textiles, includ- ing silk, rayon, cotton, woolen and worsted products. Situated between New York and Boston, which furnish

large markets, Providence is in a strategic location for the distribution of goods and services of all kinds. Also, a very considerable foreign trade originates in Providence factories, which send their products to all corners of the world.
According to the U. S. Census of 1960, Providence has 207,498 inhabitants. It should be borne in mind, however, in regard to the population figure, that the city limits include only 18.91 square miles, in contrast to the 100 or more square miles of most cities of comparable importance. The State of Rhode Island has 859,488 people, all of whom are in the immediate trading territory of the city, much of which can be consid- ered "bedroom communities" for those who do business and work in Providence. From a commercial stand- point, the trading area of metropolitan Providence includes not only all of Rhode Island, but southern Massa- chusetts and eastern Connecticut, with a total population of well over 1,500,000.
In addition to excellent port facilities, including both State and Municipal piers, Providence has rail transportation furnished by the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad system, extensive overland truck lines, bus service by the New England Transportation Co., Greyhound Lines, Short Line and others, and air service in all directions furnished by the American, Eastern, National, United, Mohawk and Allegheny Air Lines.
Providence is distinguished for its cultural and educational institutions. Colleges and schools which draw students from all over the world include Brown University, one of the oldest and most distinguished in- stitutions of learning in the U. S. Other colleges are Providence College, founded by the Dominicans; Rhode Island School of Design, Rhode Island College, Pembroke College of Brown University, Bryant College, and Rhode Island College of Pharmacy, now in the University of Rhode Island, at Kingston. Other cultural and ed- ucational advantages include a concert series by the Boston Symphony Orchestra; the Rhode Island Philhar- monic Orchestra, which presents a regular schedule of concerts; the Community Concert Association, which is the second largest in the country; the Providence Art Club, which sponsors many art exhibits; and the Players, which presents a series of dramatic productions each year.
The excellent library facilities include the Providence Public Library; the John Hay, Carter Brown and Ann Mary Brown libraries at Brown University, the Providence Athenaeum, and the Medical Library of the Rhode Island Medical Association. The museums include a natural history exhibition of Roger Williams Park, and a comprehensive museum display at the Rhode Island School of Design, which houses the famous Pendle- ton collection of furniture.
The people who work and live in Providence have ample and exceptional opportunities for play and rec- reation. Rhode Island is a natural playground, with miles of coast line and with beautiful sandy bathing beach- es. As mentioned before, the Bay is a great recreational area. The hinterland is beautiful rolling country, dotted with many ponds, lakes and streams. Golf courses, tennis courts, yacht clubs and other recreational facilities are scattered throughout the state. Fine roads and short distances make them all accessible.
Roger Williams Park in Providence is a showplace, with its beautiful flower gardens, acres of shady fields, and a large body of water. This park maintains a zoo and public tennis courts. In winter, residents and visitors also have recreational advantages and sports. The state has developed an area at Diamond Hill for

skiing and other winter sports. Professional hockey and other winter sports are enjoyed at the Rhode Island Auditorium. The world's first fully automatic post office is located in Providence's West River Industrial Park.
Providence is a city small enough to be thoroughly hospitable and have its people know one another, and at the same time large enough to include the advantages of a great city.
