THE ALPHABETICAL LIST OF NAMES of residents and business and professional concerns is included in pages 25 to 752, 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 BUYERS' GUIDE, beginning opposite page 752 and separately paged from 1 to 192, on tinted 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 753 to 886, on yellow paper. This department lists the names of all business and professional concerns in alphabetical order under appropiate 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 889 to 1096. 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. Special features of this section are the designation of tenant-owned homes and the designation of homes and places of business having telephones.


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 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 .. A New- Old City


New in Spirit and Vigor -


Old in History and Tradition


-----


Capitol Building, Providence, R. I.


Providence is located at the head of Narragansett Bay which offers one of the finest ports on the United States coastal line, whether on the Atlantic or Pacific. The Bay is not only suited for shipping, but it furnishes recreational playgrounds for Rhode Islanders and people from all parts of this country and the world. Newport, which is located at the entrance to the Bay, has been long famous as a resort and show place. Narragansett on the opposite side of the Bay entrance from Newport is also a well-known summer resort. The fishing industry also thrives on many parts of the Bay which yields an abundant supply of fish and shell fish. Many eating places on the Rhode Island shores of Narragansett Bay are well-known for shore din- ners, clam bakes, and Rhode Island johnny cakes.


Providence was founded in 1636 by Roger Williams who received a deed for the land from the Narragansett Indians. The primeval forests were gradually cleared from the hills and what is now a thriving City gradually de- veloped during the intervening centuries. The fame and importance of Providence has been given a high place among the nation's cities. The name of Roger Williams will always be perpetuated in Providence because it was here for the first time that a charter proclaimed a doctrine of noninterference in the religious belief of the people. This doctrine of religious freedom has had much to do with the spirit and growth of the City. People of many nation- alities and of diverse religious beliefs live together in religious tolerance and mutual respect.


11


The forefathers of many families which still reside in Rhode Island contributed greatly to the original enterprise of the City and State. These early inhabitants established mills, factories, shipping yards, counting houses, and sailing fleets by which means Providence became an important commercial and industry center of the thirteen colonies. Her prestige has been maintained and broadened so that today the metropolitan Providence includes some of the largest single industries in the country and is the largest center in the world for certain industrial products.


First Baptist Church (Roger Williams worshipped here)


Providence is of interest historically by reason of its fine old houses and public edifices which are fine examples of colonial architectures. For example, the First Baptist Meeting House built in 1775, the old State House, the old Market Building in Market Square, and the private resi- dences too numerous to mention which are principally located on the hill. It is safe to say that there are more fine and varied examples of residential architecture in Providence than in any other city in the United States; each one a type of the best in architecture covering the periods from the colonial days to the present.


The population of Rhode Island is the largest per square mile of any state and yet it is the smallest state in the union. Providence is considered the world's largest jewelry manufacturing center and one of the nation's larg- est centers for the distribution of petroleum products. Prov- idence is important in the manufacture of machine tools, textile machinery, rubber goods, iron and steel products, silverware, and textiles, including silk, rayon, cotton, woolen and worsted. Situated between New York and Bos- ton which furnish large markets, Providence is in a stra- tegic location for the distribution of goods and services of all kinds. Also, a very considerable foreign trade origin- ates in Providence whose factories send their products to all corners of the world.


According to the last census of 1940, Providence had 253,504 inhabitants. It should be borne in mind, however, that in regard to the population figure the city limits in- clude only 18 square miles in contrast to 100 or more square miles of most cities of comparable importance. The State of Rhode Island has some 700,000 people all of which are in the immediate trading territory of the City and much of which can be considered a "bed chamber" for those who do business and work in Providence. From a commercial standpoint, the trading area of metropolitan Providence includes not only all Rhode Island, but southern Massa- chusetts and eastern Connecticut with a total population of well over a million inhabitants.


In addition to excellent port facilities, including both State and Municipal Piers, Providence has rail transporta- tion furnished by the New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad system, extensive overland truck lines, bus service by the New England Transportation Company, Greyhound Lines and others, and air service in all directions furn- ished by the American, Eastern, United, and Northeast Air Lines.


The City of Providence is distinguished for its cultural and educational institutions. Colleges and schools of learn- ing which draw students from all over the world include Brown University which is one of the oldest and most dis- tinguished institutions of learning in the United States. Other colleges are Providence College founded by the Jesuits, Rhode Island School of Design, Rhode Island Col- lege of Education, Pembroke College of Brown University, Bryant College, Rhode Island College of Pharmacy, and Rhode Island State College at Kingston. Other cultural and educational advantages include a concert series by the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the Rhode Island Philhar- monic Orchestra which presents a regular schedule of con- certs, the Community Concert Association which is the sec- ond largest in the country, the Providence Art Club which sponsors many art exhibits, and the Players which present 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 Athe- naeum, and the Medical Library at the Rhode Island Medi- cal Association. The museums include a natural history exhibition at Roger Williams Park and a comprehensive museum display at the Rhode Island School of Design which houses the famous Pendleton collection of furniture.


12


The people who work and live in Providence have ample and exceptional opportunities for play and recrea- tion. Rhode Island is a natural playground with miles of coast line and with beautiful sandy bathing beaches. We have already referred to the Bay as 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 dis- tances make them all accessible.


Roger Williams Park in the City of Providence is a show place with its beautiful flower gardens, acres of shady


fields, and a large body of water. This Park also maintains a zoo, golf links, and public tennis courts. In the winter- time residents and visitors also have recreational advan- tages and sports. The State has developed an area at Diamond Hill for skiing and other winter sports. There is also ice skating at the East Side Skating Club and on the lakes and ponds. Professional hockey and other winter sports are enjoyed at the Rhode Island Auditorium.


Providence is a City small enough to be thoroughly hospitable and have its people know each other and at the same time large enough to contain the advantages of a great City.
