FUNERAL DIRECTORS
HUMAN, PERSONAL SERVICE
WHEN funeral arrangements are to be made, the im- portance of dealing directly with the owner cannot be over emphasized.
He is the one man who can accept full responsibility. He knows that his reputation depends upon the way the service is carried out and the fairness of his charges.
Charles H. J. Truman and Lloyd H. Truman, the owners, are in full charge of funeral arrangements at The Truman Co. That is why Truman Service is so human and so per- sonal ... and that is why it is recognized for its added beauty, dignity and thoughtfulness.

INSURANCE
STRENGTH
IF the policyholder is to get the security for which he pays, the company issuing his policy must have the reserve strength necessary to meet all contingencies.
With assets practically twice liabil- ities, the companies of the FIREMAN'S FUND GROUP guarantee this strength.

Common Sense ABOUT CITY DIRECTORY CIRCULATION
The true value of advertising circulation is circulation consulted.
To be exact by actual survey in twenty-four average American cities by actual count each city directory averaged three and one-half consultations for each business day.
To be conservative we will eliminate the sixty Sundays and Holidays when no tests were made. For every thousand directories sold there will be an average of three and one-half daily consultations for each book for three hundred and five days, therefore -
1000 x 31/2 x 305 = 1,067,500 CONSULTATIONS OR CIRCULATIONS CONSULTED

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.
Is 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 development of this broad policy of handling orders is part of the service to you.

Polytechnic Junior College
13TH AND MADISON STREETS, OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA FOR YOUNG MEN AND YOUNG WOMEN
Organized in August, 1933, at the request of leading educators and Eastbay citizens who feel the need of a Junior College in Oakland. While this is a private school, it has, nevertheless, made a very low rate of tui- tion to its students.
Smaller Classes Best
It is now believed by many leading school men that the close personal contact made possible in the smaller classes in the smaller school makes for better results and espe- cially for those young people who wish to go to university and whose high school credits do not meet university requirements.
Both the University of California and Stanford require an average of "C" in order to secure credit for advanced standing and our schedule of work is designed to meet these requirements for the first two years. Students may then be transferred to the Junior year of the universities.
Faculty
Members of the Polytechnic Faculty were recom- mended to us by university professors and are experi- enced instructors of high standing in Junior College work. They are following closely university requirements in freshman and sophomore courses, and students may depend upon real college training in their work here.
Low Cost Policy
It was definitely decided at the opening of this college that a low rate of tuition should be offered. After a careful estimate of costs the tuition rate was fixed at --
$75.00 for the full semester-412 months.
$20.00 per month if paid monthly.
No extra fees for laboratory.
This makes it possible for many to attend who cannot afford an expensive tuition.
PARENTS
Parents who have sons and daughters they wish to have a college education are invited to visit this school and make a personal investigation. We have found that parents are pleased with the personal interest and indi- vidual help we are giving students of this college and we shall continue to make high scholarship paramount.
