CAUTION

Pay no money in advance to itinerant Directory Canvassers. We are led to mention this from the fact that certain parties have been fraudulently using our publications as specimens, and by that means collecting money in advance. Before signing an order, see that it has the name of R. L. Polk & Co. printed thereon. We ask no payment until the work is delivered, and our solicitors have strict orders not to take payment for either advertising or subscriptions.

Question: Where Can I Buy "It" in Providence? Answer: Most Likely at The Shepard Stores

At least, we are told, many people prefer coming to or telephoning The Shepard Stores FIRST if there is any question about where an article of merchandise may be bought in Provi- dence.

Naturally we do not have everything everyone asks for, but our great stocks of merchandise for home, family and per- sonal use are in such broad varieties that it's always a "good bet" to first look for what you want at this store.

We endeavor to have WHAT you want, WHEN you want it -so, whenever you need, want or "must have" something, shop, telephone or write THE SHEPARD STORES.
