When You Borrow a Directory

You are not only stealing a little of your friend's valuable time but you are using a portion of his capital for your business. You are wasting some of your time, and you miss the satisfaction of the man who stands on his own feet. Better buy your Directory.

Locating Missing Heirs Finding Lost Persons

This is only one of the many offices that the modern directory successfully fills.

The directories of the United States form a perpetual inventory of the human element of the nation as well as the business activities.

Police Departments, the country over, rely upon directory information for the loca- tion of lost persons. Lawyers and executors of estates are likewise dependent on the information that these "city catalogs" contain.

Real Estate buyers and agents have multitude occasions to refer to the pages of directories of other cities in order that they may have detailed and authentic informa- tion on parcels of land and subdivisions in which they have a personal or business interest.

Credit managers have unlimited use for the pages of the modern directory, as have collection managers and agencies.

The uses of the city directory are legion ; the information is authentic and the manu- facturers and companies that are represented therein are reputable and dependable.

Make More Use of Your City Directory! ! !

REAL ESTATE

FOR RESPONSIBLE REALTY SERVICE, DEAL WITH A MEMBER OF THE Oakland Real Estate Board

"THE REALTOR"'

A Realtor is a licensed real estate broker whose ability and integrity are vouched for by the professional organization of his craft, and whose record of business conduct has brought him membership in a Realty Board of recognized standing.

He is pledged to observance of a code of business ethics imposed by the National Association of Real Estate Boards which alone has legal authority to confer the professional title "Realtor" and to withdraw it for cause.

In this city, only realty brokers who hold membership in the Oakland Real Estate Board may enjoy the prestige the term implies. The Board admits to membership only brokers of approved reputation and it stands always ready to protect and defend the integrity of conduct involved in the practice of the realty business.

The Real Estate Board exists for the maintenance of the realty business upon a plane of respons- ibility and trustworthiness and of professional prestige, and to safeguard and promote the welfare of real estate and realty ownership interests.

The Realtor recognizes his responsibility to the Real Estate Board for the benefits derived from it to himself and his clients and the business he serves, and is proud of the fact that he shares the burdens of that responsibility.

By his alliance with leaders of his craft in Real Estate Board activity, and by conforming to its standards of business conduct, the Realtor identifies himself with that professional group which, in every city, exemplifies the best and most competent and most trustworthy elements in the realty business.

We ask no payment until the work is delivered, and our solicitors have strict orders not to take pay- ment for either advertising or subscriptions.

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 person- ally 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 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.
