Coastwide banking service
In 1864, a bank that adhered to an essentially commercial type of service was ahead of its day, for commercial and industrial progress on the Coast had hardly begun.
Since then, the unified development of the three Pacific states has demon- strated, many times, the foresight of the founders of The Bank of California. The steady growth of this bank (since 1864 in California, 1882 in Oregon and 1889 in Washington) rests on its close relationship with all major industries of the West.

BATH TUBS
TYL-TUB "The Bathtub of the Future Here To-Day"
Originally conceived to solve a vital part of the Defense Housing problem this bathtub has amazed architects, plumbers, contractors and householders with its practical advantages-it offers:
1. A non-slip floor ... insurance charts tell us tens of thousands of accidents take place yearly because of slippery tubs.
2. Variable size ... you can order a tub to fit your bathroom in either the 4' 6", 5'.0 or 5' 6" size; or custom built.
3. A more lasting finish than pre-war porcelain type tubs. The old Roman baths made out of tile are still in existence after 2000 years.
4. Real beauty and color choice in both recessed and corner design.
Over 10,000 Tyl-tubs have already been installed without one rejection for faultiness. They are available in cement face as well as tile face and are approved by F.H.A." and H.O.L.C.
TYL-TUB COMPANY
24- 12th Street San Francisco, California MA rket 1222
Other Tyl-Tub products include tile line sinks and laundry trays, waterproof burial vaults, sectional burial vaults, concrete fence posts, fences, shingles and piles.

The demand for Rainier Club Extra Pale Beer and Rainier Old Stock Ale is so overwhelming, it seems as though everyone is say- ing, "Make mine Rainier!" And you can be sure that every bottle you buy is thoroughly mellow - aged to be the finest beer in the West ... Rainier for Good Cheer!
Rainier's controlled method of brewing -using our own hops, our own malt, and the world's largest aging tanks-means a uni- form brew each time you try it.

Do your employers furnish you with the latest edition of the City Directory
?
You need it at your elbow at all times, to protect your company from forgers and bad-check artists. A few questions, checked against City Directory informa- tion, will trip them at once. Intelligent use of the City Directory for this purpose has saved thousands of dollars and helped make some cities "too sharp" for bad-check "operators."
