From the green rolling hills, abundant with shrubbery the year around, marvelous panoramas greet you on every side. Below you lies the Bay with the great cities spread about its shores, and beyond, the Pacific Ocean. (Baedekker, the world famous guide book writer, has said that Oakland has the third finest marine view in the world.) And behind you are the wooded slopes and canyons, now thickly dotted with lovely homes. And yet, the very nature of this subdivision forbids the fear of crowded houses, so thought- fully has it been laid out.


Smith Reserve is truly nature's garden spot, and from the first golden touch of sunrise to the colorful sunsets out beyond the Golden Gate each hour brings a new joy, which you may view from your living room windows.


As a homesite, Smith Reserve is beyond comparison ; as an investment it is above criticism. You can spread your purchase over so many years that it will never be a burden to you at any time, and rest secure in the knowledge that your investment is safe, maturing steadily toward a gratifying profit.


The essential thing is to act now; over a million dollars of property has been sold in Smith Reserve in a little over a year.

Finding Your Gold Mine


This is the day of big undertaking, and it needs men of vision and breadth of view, as well as trained minds and judgment, to cope with this progressive age.


The Fred T. Wood Company have earned an en- viable reputation in providing profitable invest- ments for clients. They have found "paying dirt" for thousands of prospectors in homesites. They have an unbroken record for successful subdi- visions.

STEPHEN T. WILLIS, President


WILLIS SCHOOL is devoted exclusively to secretarial training.


The WILLIS method of improved individual instruction enables the student to progress as rapidly as he or she can master the work. WILLIS SCHOOL provides a finishing course of actual office practice for its students that is of great practical value.


Our teaching staff comprises thoroughly capable, painstaking, and sympathetic teachers, and a greater number in proportion to students than is customary. WILLIS SCHOOL possesses an equipment of a nature seldom found in a business school anywhere, and much superior to that of any other in this part of California.


It takes less time to reach a given degree of proficiency by the Willis method than by any other.

WATER COMPANIES


How To Make Application


for


Water Service


When you move into a new house-whether owned by you or rented-the first requirement necessary is Water Service.


It is no trouble to get this service. You may come to the office and personally sign for meter connection- you may write your request for water-or if in the con- fusion of moving, it is not convenient to write or call, a telephone message will bring one of our service men to you at any time and place desired.


It is our desire to make it easy and convenient for you to get water service. Our Order Department is instructed to comply promptly with every reasonable request.


If you are a new comer to this community and have not previously paid water bills for a year and do not own your own home, you will be asked to make a de- posit of $2.50, which will be returned to you after one year with interest at 6%. If, however, you are a prop- erty owner, or have previously been prompt in paying water bills for a period of one year, no deposit will be asked.


The Water Company is anxious to serve you in every possible way, and the development of this broad policy of handling orders is part of the service to you.
