Capitol Stationery

Capitol Stationery was founded in 1922 by Alexander and Sadie Agronick. They located their business at the base of Weybosset Street in downtown Providence right in the heart of the financial district. Working together they built their enterprise over the next decade into a large and profitable business. As the sole distributor of R.C. Allen typewriters and adding machines in New England, they received a commission on every machine sold by every dealer in the region.

Today, the business, located in Cranston, is run by Sadie’s grandson Alex, the third generation to run the business. Alex took over when his father Raymond passed away in 1996. Having worked in the business his entire life, Alex is committed to serving his customers with the same high standards set by his parents and grandparents.
