Excerpt from Official Souvenir Program, Rhode Island Old Home Week Issued by the Publicity Department, Old Home Week Committee, Providence

In organizing this festival it was hoped that some might come back to the old homes to remain; that others might return for the reunion season, and perhaps choose here a spot on which the vacation home at least might be established; that still others and of course the larger part, might come home for a day or two and by their coming give pleasure to those of kin or acquaintance who had not joined in the wanderings to the fertile plains and golden mountains The message, Come home, travelled literally with the swiftness of the lightning; for the great news agencies sent it to the extremes of the news paper - making field and even to foreign lands. The interest created by this simple reminder of the old home was instantaneous-and far reaching and the most enthusiastic believers in the preposed festival were amazed by the results as measured by its influence both upon the absent ones and upon those at home. Permanent benefits have followed in the more hopeful view of existing conditions and the great pride in the achieve ments of men and women of New Hampshire birth.
