Little Compton Village Improvement Society 1934 Summer Locater

 

This handy 30-page pamphlet included a town directory and other important information.

Living in Little Compton has never been for the faint of heart, particularly before modern day luxuries like cable TV, internet, and Amazon delivery. 

This 1934 Summer Locator made life easier for Little Compton residents, providing phone numbers and a map detailing homestead and business locations. A list of town officials is included, as well as vital information like the town dentist and doctor. 

Church services are listed along with hours of LC's two libraries. Many Little Compton businesses advertised their goods and services in the directory, some ads taking up an entire page.

Numerous surnames in the Locater are familiar, their ancestors still living in LC today. There are even a few businesses that are still going concerns. All in all, it appears that 1934 was a great year in LC!
