Providence was founded in 1636 by Roger Williams. 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 hundrds 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 253,504 inhabitants, yet its area is only eighteen square miles. This City is the trading centre for an immediately adjoining population of fully six hundred thousand people; furthermore, if we include an extended area, the population of which turns to Providence more than to any other city, that trading population is increased to seven hundred and fifty thousand. Recent statistical 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 and second in New England.

Many factors contribute in making Providence a great city in respect, not only to population, but to industrial activity. Situated as it is on Narragansett 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 are increasing and should continue to expand year by year.

Providence is more than usually, well provided with excellent public utility facilities. Its Gas Company is known as the most efficient in the industry in New England. Its high- ly efficient electric service 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 Col- lege, Rhode Island School of Design, R. I. College of Pharmacy, R. I. College of Education, Bryant College and many private business and trade 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 textiles, 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 and Bulletin. Back of these industries and sup- porting them is a great variety of products, large and small, that have a national reputa- tion.

Today Providence industries are almost 100% engaged in war production. A large volume of the machine tools, textile goods and a host of implements, parts and subassemb- blies for war use are pouring in a steadily increasing flood from hundreds of plants. Several new war production plants and a great shipyard have been established. Provi- dence is doing its full shore in the war effort.

The city of Providence has one of the lowest municipal tax rates in the country and numerous other advantages. Among the most important of these is the wonderful water supply now impounded in an area some seven miles from the city, and as large as the city itself.

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 municipality has been active in providing for its citizens those agencies, such a 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 Festival 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 accomodated in Providence as in few other cities with publicly conducted enterprises which ensure good health, excellent educational opportunities, good living conditions and satisfactory returns.

For those who are interested in obtaining general information or detail particulars regarding the municipality and business opportunities its is recommended they write to The Providence Chamber of Commerce, 162 Westminster St.
