INTRODUCTION


R. L. POLK & CO., publishers of more than 750 city, county, state and national Direc- tories, present to subscribers and the general public, this, the 1940 edition of the Provi- dence City Directory including a Business Directory of the State of Rhode Island.


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.


SIX MAJOR DEPARTMENTS The six major departments are arranged in the following order :-


THE MISCELLANEOUS DEPARTMENT, pages 8 to 25, 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 33 to 900, 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 DIRECTORY OF HOUSEHOLDERS, INCLUDING STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE, on pink paper, covers pages 901 to 1128. In this section the names of the streets are arranged 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 inter- secting streets appear at their respective crossing points on each street. A feature of this section is the designation of tenant-owned homes.


THE BUYERS' GUIDE, beginning opposite page 1128 and separately paged from 1 to 104, on India 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 1129 to 1259, on yellow paper. This department lists the names of all business and professional concerns in alphabetical order under appropriate 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.


THE RHODE ISLAND STATE CLASSIFIED BUSINESS DIRECTORY will be found on pages 1261 to 1336, on pink paper. This department is arranged alphabetically by business and Post Office.


MUNICIPAL PUBLICITY


The Directory reflects the achievements and ambitions of the city, depicting in un- biased terms what it has to offer as a place of residence, as a business location, 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 Providence.


THE PROVIDENCE DIRECTORY LIBRARY


Through the courtesy of the publishers of the Providence City Directory, a Directory Library is maintained in the offices of the Chamber of Commerce, for free reference by the general public. This is one of more than 475 Directory Libraries installed in the chief cities of the U. S. and Canada by members of the Association of North American Directory Publishers, under whose supervision the system is operated.


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

Providence was founded in 1636 by Roger Wil- liams. Incorporated in 1832. The oldest bank in America and the first Baptist meeting house in the country are located in the city. Brown University, founded in 1764, and many institutions of the early eighteen hundreds are within the city limits. The first directory of names and addresses of persons located in the city was published in 1824.


Providence is the second city of New England in point of population, a fact of special significance, inasmuch as the figures of the United States Census Bureau credit the city with 252,981 inhabitants, yet its area is only nineteen square miles. This City is the trading centre for an immediately adjoining pop- ulation of fully five hundred thousand people; fur- thermore, if we include an extended area, the pop- ulation of which turns to Providence more than to any other city, that trading population is increased to seven hundred and fifty thousand. Recent statis- tical estimates prepared for the Census Bureau with a view to establishing boundaries for Metropolitan Providence place it eleventh in area among cities of the United States.


Many factors contribute in making Providence a great city in respect, not only to population, but to industrial activity. Situated as it is on Narragan- sett Bay with its deep channel and other superior water facilities, the city is in a position to call to its service transportation by water as well as by rail. The activities of the Port of Providence increase year by year and they will expand at a tremendous rate when there shall be established in the city ele- vators which can supply grain cargo to fill the bot- toms of ocean steamers.


Providence is more than usually well provided with excellent public utility facilities. Its Gas Com- pany is known as the most efficient in the industry in New England. Its highly efficient electric serv- ice has grown to very large proportions. The street railway system, now embodied in the Rhode Island Public Service Company, furnishes service not only within the city, but to many outlying points. Its telephone service is the equal of the best in the New England Telephone and Telegraph system, of which it is a part.


The densely populated industrial district of Providence, with its large population to be fed and clothed, is known in all parts of the United States as a distributing point of great importance. Because of the excellent educational opportunities offered, there is a large student population attending Brown University, Pembroke College, Providence College and various smaller private schools.


Providence is particularly fortunate in having a diversity of manufactures. It is not dependent on any one industry. The great industries which have distinguished the city for many years include tex- tiles, jewelry, silverware, iron and steel. It has, for instance : the largest machine shop in the world ; the largest finger ring manufacturer in the country ; the largest file manufacturers in the world; the largest silverware manufacturers in the United States; the largest screw manufacturer in the world; one of the leading newspapers of the country, the Providence Journal. Back of these industries and supporting them is a great variety of products, large and small, that have a national reputation. Few cities in the United States send out daily so many small pack- ages of so great a variety of manufactured articles as does Providence.


The city of Providence has one of the lowest mu- nicipal tax rates in the country, a low bonded indebt- edness and numerous other advantages. Among the most important of these is the wonderful water sup- ply now impounded in an area some seven miles from the city, and as large as the city itself, which ensures pure water for human consumption and a plentiful supply for fire emergencies.


Providence retail trade is prosperous, as it should be, in the centre of so great a population. Likewise the wholesale trade, which reaches out over an area extending into Connecticut, Massachusetts and other New England states.


Few cities have been more active in providing adequate facilities for the care of the sick and needy ; its hospitals are equal to all demands. The munici- pality has been active in providing for its citizens those agencies, such as parks and playgrounds, that contribute to the promotion of life and health. The parks form the centre for annual events which attract hundreds of thousands of people for enjoyment and cultural development. Best known among these events is the Annual Festival of the Providence Fes- tival Chorus in Roger Williams Park.


Providence is an attractive city in which to do business and to live in comfort and security. This is evidenced by its continued increase of population over that which follows a steady birth-rate, due to the coming from all parts of the country of investors of both capital and labor. Newcomers are accommo- dated in Providence as in few other cities with pub- licly conducted enterprises which ensure good health, excellent educational opportunities, good living con- ditions and satisfactory returns.


For those who are interested in obtaining gen- eral information or detail particulars regarding the municipality and business opportunities it is recom- mended they write to the Providence Chamber of Commerce.
