IN TIME OF NEED, there is no thought more comforting than this:

Truman Service can be depended upon to care for every detail rev- erently and thoughtfully.

Charles H. J. Truman and Lloyd H. Tru- man ... father and son ... are personally in charge. This individual attention by the owners fixes responsibility, assures beauty & thoughtfulness in keeping with the deep spiritual significance of the final tribute.

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 confusion 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 com- ply 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 development of this broad policy of handling orders is part of the service to you.
