SIXTY-FIVE YEARS IN SAN FRANCISCO

FOR SIXTY-FIVE YEARS, The Anglo Bank has been playing a helpful part in the daily lives of San Franciscans of every calling.

Downtown, midtown and uptown-in the finan- cial district, in the executive offices of great corpora- tions, on the waterfront and in the railroad yards, in factories and warehouses, in department stores and neighborhood shops, in tens of thousands of homes, The Anglo Bank is known as a helpful, friendly institution.

One reason why so many San Franciscans bank with The Anglo is the fact that it has the facilities and the resources to fill every banking need. Another reason is that The Anglo Bank constantly endeavors to be of the maximum usefulness to every customer.

COMMON SENSE

ABOUT CITY DIRECTORY CIRCULATION

The true value of advertising circulation is circulation consulted.

To be exact by actual survey in twenty-four average American cities by actual count each city directory averaged three and one-half consultations for each business day.

To be conservative we will eliminate the sixty Sundays and Holidays when no tests were made.

For every thousand directories sold there will be an average of three and one-half daily consultations for each book for three hundred and five days, therefore-
