The population of Rhode Island is the largest per square mile of any state, and yet this is the smallest state in the Union. Providence is considered the world's largest jewelry manufacturing center and one of the nation's largest centers for the distribution of petroleum products. The city 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 products. Situated between New York and Boston, which furnish large markets, Providence is in a strategic location for the distribution of goods and services of all kinds. Also, a very considerable foreign trade originates in Providence factories, which send their products to all corners of the world.


According to the U. S. Census of 1950, Providence has 248,674 inhabitants. It should be borne in mind, however, in regard to the population figure, that the city limits include only 18.91 square miles, in contrast to the 100 or more square miles of most cities of comparable importance. The State of Rhode Island has nearly 800,000 (791,896) people, all of whom are in the immediate trading territory of the city, much of which can be considered a "bed chamber" for those who do business and work in Providence. From a commercial stand- point, the trading area of metropolitan Providence includes not only all of Rhode Island, but southern Massa- chusetts and eastern Connecticut, with a total population of well over 1,500,000.


In addition to excellent port facilities, including both State and Municipal piers, Providence has rail transportation furnished by the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad System, extensive overland truck lines, bus service by the New England Transportation Co., Greyhound Lines and others, and air service in all directions furnished by the American, Eastern, National, United, Northeast, Mohawk and Alleghany Air Lines.


Providence is distinguished for its cultural and educational institutions. Colleges and schools which draw students from all over the world include Brown University, one of the oldest and most distinguished institutions of learning in the U. S. Other colleges are Providence College, founded by the Dominicans; Rhode Island School of Design, Rhode Island College of Education, Pembroke College of Brown University, Bryant College, Rhode Island College of Pharmacy, now in the University of Rhode Island, at Kingston. Other cultural and educational advantages include a concert series by the Boston Symphony Orchestra; the Rhode Island Philharmonic Or- chestra, which presents a regular schedule of concerts; the Community Concert Association, which is the second largest in the country; the Providence Art Club, which sponsors many art exhibits; and the Players, which presents 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 Athenaeum, and the Medical Library of the Rhode Island Medical 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.


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. As mentioned before, the Bay is 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 distances make them all accessible.

INTRODUCTION


Roger Williams Park in Providence is a show place, with its beautiful flower gardens, acres of shady fields, and a large body of water. This park maintains a zoo and public tennis courts. In winter, residents and visitors also have recreational advantages and sports. The state has developed an area at Diamond Hill for skiing and other winter sports. There also is 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 include the advantages of a great city.


The new and the old blended in the Providence skyline.

Do your employers furnish you with the latest edition of the City Directory?


You need it at your elbow at all times, to protect your company from forgers and bad-check artists. A few ques- tions, checked against City Directory information, will trip them at once. Intelligent use of the City Directory for this purpose has saved thousands of dollars and helped make some cities "too sharp" for bad-check "operators."
