The Garden Spot of the East Bay, the Princely Estate of F. M. "Borax" Smith

Selected years ago by F. M. "Borax" Smith, as a private estate when he owned thousands of acres of the choicest residential property in the East Bay, Smith Reserve was set aside for elaborate development. For years it has been held off of the market awaiting the growth of the East Bay, the increase of population that would assure appreciation of this beautiful "home park." And now that this has come you can realize your dreams of a home in its most inspiring surroundings.
