Many cover oddities with various cachets, labels, autographs and other features, were first day mailings. Some collectors had 16 or 20 stamps on covers, while others got first day cancellations from each of the 109 Post Offices in Rhode Island. To accomplish this, airplanes were used to carry letters to Homestead Post Office on Prudence Island, Jamestown on Conanicut Island, and Block Island, where the letters were mailed for cancellation and return through regular mail channels.

The Rhode Island Tercentenary 1636-1936
A request from the Tercentenary Commission for a special cancellation for Rhode Island Post Offices during the Tercentenary period was forwarded to Washington and brought the response through Dr. Carroll, the Providence Postmaster,
"On account of the numerous applications for this privilege, the Department has found it necessary to discontinue the practice of operating special cancellation machine dies in cases of this kind. The only special dies permitted under the policy which now pre- vails are those advertising the Department's own services, those covering matters of national interest for which Congress has made an appropriation, and the annual Red Cross Roll Call."
The Rhode Island Tercentenary postage stamp was placed on sale at the Philatelic Agency maintained at Washington by the Post Office Department and at other post offices throughout the country, on May 5. By the usual practice it would remain on sale for about a year in post offices and for a somewhat longer period at the Philatelic Agency conducted for the benefit of stamp collectors but it was withdrawn in the latter part of March, 1937, the entire edition exhausted unexpectedly early by its unsusual popularity.
The general interest in the Tercentenary stamp was well attested by the number of requests received by the Tercentenary Commission for photographs of the statue used, as the central design for the stamp. This statue was executed by Franklin Sim- mons of Maine at his studio in Rome, was cast in bronze at Munich and was erected on a pedestal of native granite cut at Westerly. It was unveiled October 16, 1877, at a location near the old farmhouse long occupied by Betsy Williams, on land which remained in possession of the Williams family from the time when it was the farm of Joseph, youngest son of Roger Williams, until it was given to the city for park purposes by Betsy Williams, a descendant of the founder of these plantations.
Franklin Simmons also executed the statue of Roger Williams in marble, placed by Rhode Island in Statuary Hall in the Capitol at Washington. The statue at Roger Williams Park is said to have been based as to likeness, on the then oldest male descendant of the founder. No known likeness of Roger Williams has ever been found. The Roger Williams Park statue shows a figure in Puritan garb with right hand extended while the left holds in the crook of his elbow, a large book bearing on its cover "Soul Liberty 1636."

A Report of the Tercentenary Commission
THE MARKING OF HISTORIC SITES
NE of the lasting results of the Tercentenary was the marking in many localities, of old houses with the names of their builders and the dates of their building; of historic sites once occupied by the homes of early settlers; and of localities where memorable events in the history of the towns and of the State took place. In some cases these markers are of imperishable metal, in others and for the most part, of wood, which must be renewed from time to time.
Where this was done after careful research and with due care to check the reliability of the dates and statements advanced as history, it will be a memorable addition to the benefits from the celebration of the three hundredth anniversary of the State.
Many of the more prominent historic sites in the State have been marked through the years by metal markers placed by a committee on historic sites, acting under State authority and with an appropriation from the General Assembly. In recent years this committee has been inactive due to lack of funds and so the Ter- centenary markings are the more valuable.
The greater number of these markers were placed by town committees of the Tercentenary Jubilee Committee, so-called-the Rhode Island and Providence Plantations Tercentenary Committee, Inc. Others were the result of research and action by Chapters of the Rhode Island Society, Daughters of the American Revolution. The work is far from being completed and it is hoped that it may be continued and extended through future years.
At Bristol 40 buildings and sites were thus marked for the Tercentenary; at East Greenwich, 45. The Newport committee marked 48 sites in Newport and five in Middletown. Tiverton marked 21 historical sites. Westerly, with a most extensive program of markers carrying a brief history of each site, used its own imperishable Westerly granite. The Kent County committee, including Warwick, used wood, painted white and with black lettering and figures.
The larger markers, at Pawtucket, in the Pawtuxet Valley and elsewhere are for the most part of bronze with raised lettering. The State Tercentenary road markers, erected by the State Ter- centenary Commission, have plates of cast aluminum with cut-in and black lacquered letters, very easy to read.
