Providence was founded in 1636 by Roger Wil- liams. Incorporated in 1832. The 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 and 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 252,981 inhabitants, yet its area is only nineteen square miles. This City is the trading centre for an immediately adjoining pop- ulation of fully five hundred thousand people; fur- thermore, if we include an extended area, the pop- ulation of which turns to Providence more than to any other city, that trading population is increased to seven hundred and fifty thousand. Recent statis- tical estimates prepared for the Census Bureau with a view to establishing boundaries for Metropolitan Providence place it eleventh in arca among cities of the United States.


Many factors contribute in making Providence a great city in respect, not only to population, but to industrial activity. Situated as it is on Narragan- sett 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 increase year by year and they will expand at a tremendous rate when there shall be established in the city ele- vators which can supply grain cargo to fill the bot- toms of ocean steamers.


Providence is more than usually well provided with excellent public utility facilities. Its Gas Com- pany is known as the most efficient in the industry in New England. Its highly efficient electric serv- ice 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 College and various smaller private 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 tex- tiles, 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. Back of these industries and supporting them is a great variety of products, large and small, that have a national reputation. Few cities in the United States send out daily so many small pack- ages of so great a variety of manufactured articles as does Providence.


The city government has been carefully admin- istcred, hence Providence has one of the lowest mu- nicipal tax rates in the country, a low bonded indebt- edness and numerous other advantages. Among the most important of these is the wonderful water sup- ply now impounded in an area some seven miles from the city, and as large as the city itself, which ensures pure water for human consumption and a plentiful supply for fire emergencies.


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 munici- pality has been active in providing for its citizens those agencies, such as 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 Fes- tival 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 accommo- dated in Providence as in few other cities with pub- licly conducted enterprises which ensure good health, excellent educational opportunities, good living con- ditions and satisfactory returns.


For those who are interested in obtaining gen- eral information or detail particulars regarding the municipality and business opportunities it is recom- mended they write to the Providence Chamber of Commerce.

There are two kinds of Advertising


That which the Buyer seeks, and that which is thrust upon him.


Both are good


Display advertising suggests wants and creates desire. Of its tremendous power many present day successes bear witness.


Reference Advertising steps in when the desire has been created. It shows where the goods can be purchased and gives information that the buyer wants when he wants to buy.


A Connecting Link


The weakness of display advertising is that often a need is not realized until the ad that suggested it is misplaced or thrown away.


A shrewd buyer usually looks the field over before buying and where is so logical a place to look as in this book.


A Help to You


In your buying, use the lists in this book. If you see a name in heavy type it is because that concern thought enough of your possible business to make it easy for you to find them. If it says "See page -- ", you will find there information that will really help you.


Are You Covered?


Have you made it easy for buyers to find you, by putting a bold type listing under every heading where they might look for you or a competitor? Have you put information in the "Selling Section" that will really help a buyer, and point to you as the one who can serve him best?


If not, make a note to do it in the next edition, and let us tell you now how little it costs to be protected.
