THE CLASSIFIED BUSINESS DIRECTORY is included in pages 737 to 857, 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 DIRECTORY OF HOUSEHOLDERS, INCLUDING STREET AND AVENUE GUIDE, on pink paper, covers pages 861 to 1063. 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 special feature of this section is the designation of tenant-owned homes.


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 & 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 500 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 of 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 Williams. Incorporated in 1832. The second 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 of 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, the Greater Providence trading area is populated by 1,500,000 people. 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.


Providence industries were almost 100% engaged in war production. A large volume of the machine tools, textile goods and a host of implements, parts and subassemblies for war use poured in a steadily increasing flood from hundreds of plants. Several new war production plants and a great shipyard were established.


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.
