The Marchant Calculator is the quickest machine on the market for multiplication, division and their combinations.

It insures accuracy for it proves each operation automatically.

It is easy to operate. Anyone can become a Marchant expert in a very short time.

The Pony Marchant is built with all the strength and precision of the Standard Marchant, is capable of the same work, in fact, embraces all the big qualities of the Standard Machine and has some special ones of its own. It is very compact, takes up very little desk-room, is light enough to be taken any place-to be used by the engineer in the field or to be handed from one desk to the other in a large office. It is prac- tically noiseless; and it has two new distinct features-one a register set- ting dial at the top, and an improved clearing crank.

ATTENTION

For the benefit of the General Public who constantly use this Directory thousands of times daily, it has been recognized by the publishers that the interests of each city represented from a reference standpoint are identical and of one general community interest, and with this end in view it has been deemed wise to make one alphabetical reference answer the purpose of three, as has been in previous issues.

The arrangement of the Classified portion of the Directory remains the same as in previous issues. The Commercial and Industrial identity of each city represented has not been lost, as each line of industrial representation has been Classified in its proper place and plainly shows to which city each industry belongs.

The publishers feel that the new departure followed in the alphabetical arrangement of the general portion of the Directory will meet with hearty approval of the Public for whose benefit the work is published. Respectfully,

THE PUBLISHERS.

Note

In making reference in the general alphabetical list note the following :- Individual names, firm names, Buildings, Churches, etc., that are in OAKLAND have NO SUFFIX following the address. Individual names, firm names, Buildings, Churches, etc., located in BERKELEY or ALAMEDA are repre- sented by the suffix BKLY for BERKELEY or ALA for ALAMEDA.

Introduction

This is the thirtieth year of the publication of the Oakland City Directory.

From a book of 129 pages in the first issue it has grown to one of 1590 pages.

The present issue covers the cities of Oakland, Berkeley and Ala- meda, and for convenience in finding any name in either of the three cities the publishers have combined them all in one alphabetical ar- rangement. Adding the suffix Ala after each name in Alameda, and Bkly following each name in Berkeley. All names not followed by the suffix are understood to be residents of Oakland.

The superior location of the three cities on the east side of the bay with their fifty miles of waterfront provides admirable locations for manufacturing of all kinds and these sites are being rapidly filled by various industries.

A copy of this work is sent to all the directory offices in the country where it may represent Oakland, its people, and its institutions. A library is maintained at the directory office, 812 Broadway, for the free use of our patrons, and for the public generally.

POPULATION.

Growth in population is the standard measurement of a city's success and it is, therefore, always highly interesting to those who have the welfare of the community at heart. The present population of Oakland will be intensely interesting to the people not only of Oakland but generally to all people in the United States, for the eyes of the world are upon Oakland on account of the wonderful changes that have taken place here.

The present volume contains by actual count, after deducting all names of firnis, churches, schools, etc., the names of 127,450 persons. Taking these figures as a basis in computing the population and estimating that each name in the direc- tory represents at the rate of 234 persons, which is considered by all directory publishers as a conservative multiple, we find the population is as follows:

Ratio of Population 1917 for each respective city based on number of names appearing in 1917 issue of the directory is as follows:

Population of Oakland 246,519

Population of Berkeley 71,847

Population of Alameda. 32,127

Total

350,493

An increase in the Three Cities of 15,062 over 1916.

The publishers wish to express thanks for the courtesies extended to their employes and the liberal patronage bestowed upon the work. Respectfully,
