Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: A map illustration advertising Providence as a center of trade and industry.
Original caption: Providence is the nearest, the easiest, and the cheapest New England port to reach from Southern waters. It is also the most centrally located harbor with respect to the majority of the Population of New England. Why should ships from the South sail around Cape Cod, or even across it, if Providence is the handiest place to get to and the nearest place to most of the people who want their cargoes? Do You Know that Providence is nearer than Baltimore or New Orleans to Rio Janeiro, Buenos Ayres and all the Principal Eastern Ports of South America? Do you realize that Providence is two days nearer than San Francisco to the Panama Canal. The Distance Tables in this Magazine demonstrate this. |
