Home Seekers and Investors' Opportunities SMITH RESERVE

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.

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 home-Park 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. Smith Reserve is rapidly building up.

WATER COMPANIES

How To Make Application For Water Service

When moving into a new house the first requirement necessary is Water Service.

It is no trouble to get this service. You may come to any one of the District's four business offices, as shown below and personally sign for meter connection-you may write your request for water-or if, in the confu- sion of moving, it is not convenient to write or call, a telephone message will bring a service man to you at your home.

It is the desire of the District to make it easy and convenient for you to get water service. All business offices are instructed to comply promptly with every reasonable request.

If you are a newcomer to this community you will be asked to make a deposit which may be returned to you after one year with interest at 6%.

The East Bay Municipal Utility District is anxious to serve you in every possible way, and the develop- ment of this broad policy of handling orders is part of the service to you.
