12, wraps, illus., some wear and soiling. Pamphlet published on January 16, 1933. The Providence Institution for Savings issued a series of sketches and vignettes of Rhode Island and Rhode Islanders as a method of "educational advertising. " This information was broadcast weekly and then printed in this form. The contents were selected from local historical records. This type of advertising material is quite ephemeral and few copies have likely survived. This is important not only in terms of the specific topic and Rhode Island history but also as an example of niche market commercial advertising during the era of the Great Depression. It is suitable for museum and collector displays. Seller Inventory # 46380
