Modern Conveniences
Lost, sometimes, amid the more spectacular conveniences, such as the auto, telephone, radio, or aircraft, yet the
CITY DIRECTORY
is probably the greatest convenience of this or any other age. Ponder, for a few moments, on the service rendered by the city directory. It would not be stretching matters to say that it can accurately answer hundreds of questions about the municipality it represents. Familiarize yourself with this truly wonderful book. Learn how to use it to the greatest advantage. Study the index and miscellaneous information section for a few moments. The gold mine of local facts and information will surprise you. You will learn things about your own city that you never knew before.

Then arrange NOW to have your name properly listed and your business classi- fied and cross indexed in the next edition of the Providence Directory.
The City Directory has become a universal necessity in looking up new pros- pects, in purchasing supplies, and in marketing products. Don't forget that directory advertising supplements and rounds out all your other advertising by giving the most explicit directions how to find you.
Put "We are listed in the Directory" in all your advertising copy. Addresses are often forgotten or mislaid, though the name is remembered. The firm that is properly listed under all headings in the directory that describe its product, is wise.

"Something Different" "The New Idea"
HIGHLAND BURIAL PARK
We present to the people of Rhode Island a unique answer to a delicate problem
Eclipsing the old idea of neglected, cluttered monumental grave-yards with the new perpetually cared for Burial Park with no monuments of any description. Small granite or bronze markers, with the necessary engraving are used at the head of each grave, laid flush to the ground.
