For assembly of materials and distribution of products, San Francisco and the Bay Region have a multiplicity of transcontinental and local railroads, one of Earth's greatest harbors with ocean terminal facilities for the efficient accommodation of coastwise, inter-coastal and world- ranging steamships, an inland waterway transportation system radiating into the Great Cen- tral Valley of California, plant sites on navigable bays and waterways, modern federal, state and county highways and airports and airline facilities which provide expeditious connections with sources and markets throughout the world.
Advantages of the San Francisco Bay Region are further enhanced by the fact that it is at the hub of major present and potential raw material sources of the Pacific Coast, including farms, mines, forests, and fisheries. Here are over 4,500 factories, many of which turn out products essential to other manufacturing. Here is the port of entry for 40 per cent of West Coast imports. SAN FRANCISCO is the principal jobbing and wholesale market in the West.

American Airlines flier learns a highway trick two miles up
No wonder airline captains get accustomed to effort- less power, the smoothest motors in the world ride the nation's skyways. And Captain W. L. (Swanee) Swanson of American Airlines has found the trick of getting that kind of performance on the road, too. Says Captain Swanson-

"When I tried Chevron Supreme Gasoline in my car, I found I got the same dependable power, the easy getaway and freedom from knocking that Chevron Aviation Gasoline gives aircraft engines." Check, Captain Swanson, that's because Chevron Supreme is a highway version of this famous flying fuel.
During the war we found new ways of rearranging petroleum molecules to make gasoline blending agents that unleashed extra speed, range, power for the sky- ways. Now, tailored for cars in Chevron Supreme, they put the same kind of plus performance on the highway.

OIL BURNERS
RAY OIL BURNER CO.
Since 1872
Industrial, Commercial, Marine & Domestic Oil Burners-I to 1000 Boiler Horsepower; Industrial Gas and Combination Gas-Oil Burners.
Semi-Automatic Operation (fully automatic after manual ignition) with heavy fuel oils is best achieved by the Ray Type AP-14. Extreme flexibility is obtained with modulating motor control, which is responsive to minute changes in load demand. Burns any grade of fuel oil that can be made to flow to burner. Available in belt drive for odd frequencies. In sizes 00-8.
Fully Automatic Heavy Fuel Oil Burner, Ray Type AR-134, combines simplicity of construc- tion with ease of control; is extremely flexible, able to follow load demand very closely. Built-in double pump and Reservoir, with the Ray VIS- COSITY* Valve, for accurate metering of the heavy oils; gas-electric ignition; for CSG #5 oil. Built in Sizes 0 to 8. Also available in Belt Drive.
Fully Automatic with CSG #6 Fuel Oil, the Ray Type AR-141 combines the basic construction of all Ray horizontal rotary oil burners-fan, atom- izing cup and rotor mounted on main shaft; direct drive; enclosed, air-cooled motor -- with built-in, thermostatically controlled oil heater and Ray VISCOSITY* Valve. Gas-electric igni- tion ; in Sizes 0 to 8. Also available in Belt Drive.
Ray Combination Oil-or-Gas Burners operate on any grade of fuel oil, any grade of natural or manufactured gas. Fully automatic, semi-auto- matic or manual types; pump or gravity feed. Sizes 00 to 12; maximum gas capacity 43,600 cubic feet per hour. Changeover from one fuel to the other may be made in less than two min- utes. Shown here is fully automatic Type ARC-131.
Fully Automatic Pressure Atomizing Ray Oil burners for light oil are built in several sizes with capacities to 18 gals. per hour; for either AC or DC: with several types of mountings. Also in Combination Gas-Oil models with maximum gas input capacities of 2.450,000 Btu/hr. Simplicity of construction assures smooth, silent, care-free operation. Shown is smallest size, Type JP.
Straight Electric Ignition with the heavy fuel oils is achieved with the Type AR-JP Ray oil burner. Combining a pressure-atomizing JP (to be supplied with light oil) with a horizontal ro- tary burner, this model is used where gas for ignition is not available, or wherever straight electric ignition is desired. Type AR burners (see description above) are built in Sizes 0 to 8.
1 to 1000 Boiler Horsepower capacity (Sizes 0000 to 12) Type AG Ray Oil burners are ideal for general industrial applications where grav- ity feed (with light oil) or a separate pump set can be employed. Available in manual, as shown, or semi-automatic types, for any grade of fuel oil that can be made to flow to burner. Also available in Belt Drive types {in Sizes 000 to 8). ·Reg. U. S. Pat. Office.
DAI- RAY
Winter Air-Conditioning Units; Oil-Burning Commercial Ranges; Pump Sets (for oil burner appli- cations)-Literature on request.
Small Capacity Horizontal Rotary Type (1/2 to 21/2 gallons per hour) Size 000, burns any grade of fuel oil that can be made to flow to burner. Ideal for ranges in restaurants and ships' galleys, small boilers, furnaces, forges and similar appli- cations requiring small firing rates. Gravity or pump feed; AC or DC; direct or belt drive: man- val or semi-automatic control. Shown: Type BP-13.
Ray Belt Drive oil burners are recommended in place of the direct drive types when only DC, or AC below 50 cycles, is available. They are built in types to correspond to Ray Direct Drive models, for fully automatic, semi-automatic or manual operation with any grade of fuel oil. Built in Sizes 000 to 8. Shown here is semi- automatic, modulating fire control Type BP-14.
Steam Turbine Driven Horizontal Rotary Type TG Ray oil burner features great flexibility and ability to burn any grade of fuel oil that can be made to flow to burner. Large orifices through- out eliminate frequent cleaning. Exhaust steam may be recovered at low pressures or in vac- uum. In Sizes I to 12: manual or semi-automatic. Also available in Combination Gas-Oil Models.
Industrial Gas Burner Type HN for high pres- sure gas (above | pound per sq. in.) may be used either alone or in combination with a Ray oil burner as shown. For fully automatic, semi- automatic or manual operation with either natu- ral or manufactured gas. Sizes to 43,000,000 Btu/hr gas input capacity. As a combination burner, changeover may be made in two minutes.
Ray Pump Sets, designed primarily for oil burner applications, are available with or with- out heater; with steam, electric or combination steam-electric drives; in cross-connected dual drive sets for standby service: AC or DC. Ca- pacities to 3100 gals. per hour steam drive, 500 gals. per hour electric drive. Shown at right is Ray Series 44 Dual-Drive Electric Set with heater.

DIRECTOR
Thus assuring you the ultimate service that skill and care can produce in the way of City Directories or other reference media.
The following "Standards of Practice," adopted at the inception of the Association of North American Directory Publishers in 1898, and strictly adhered to over the years, is your guarantee of satisfactory Directory Service.
The publisher of a Directory should dedicate his best efforts to the cause of business uplift and social service, and to this end pledges himself:
1. To consider, first, the interest of the user of the book.
2. To subscribe to and work for truth, honesty and accuracy in all departments.
3. To avoid confusing duplication of listings, endeav- oring to classify every concern under the one heading that best describes it, and to treat additional listings as adver- tising, to be charged for at regular rates.
4. To increase public knowledge of what Directories contain; to study public needs and make Directories to supply them; to revise and standardize methods and classi- fications, so that what is wanted may be most easily found, and the Directory be made to serve its fullest use as a busi- ness and social reference book and director of buyer and seller.
5. To decline any advertisement which has a tendency to mislead or which does not conform to business integrity.
6. To solicit subscriptions and advertising solely upon the merits of the publications.
7. To avoid misrepresentation by statement or infer- ence regarding circulation, placing the test of reference publicity upon its accessibility to seekers, rather than on the number of copies sold.
8. To cooperate with approved organizations and indi- viduals engaged in creative advertising work.
9. To avoid unfair competition.
10. To determine what is the highest and largest func- tion of Directories in public service, and then to strive in every legitimate way to promote that function.
