Excerpt from King's Pocketbook of Providence, R. I

Abattoirs. Very little slaughtering of cattle is done here; as within the past few years it has been found that the business could be done better and cheaper in the West, and the carcasses instead of the live ani mals are now shipped East. Sev eral local firms, however, have slaughter-houses where they kill sheep and hogs, and occasionally a few cattle. On the line of the Boston Providence Railroad, between Providence and Paw tucket, the most extensive of these houses are situated. The firms using them, each of whom have separate establishments, are I. B. Mason Son, 98 Canal St., who slaughter between and hogs yearly; Comstock C0., 101 Canal St., who kill about the same number; and H. W. Clark, 99 Canal Sr., about sheep yearly. I. M. Lincoln, 112 Canal St., has a slaughter~house in North Providence, in which from to cattle and from to sheep are annually killed. Wilbur Ken drick, 50 Canal St., at their slaughter-house in Olneyville kill annually to 1 sheep.
