P AY NO MONEY in advance to itinerant Directory Canvass- ers.

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

Good Business Insurance


Your advertisement in the City Directory with proper business listings insures your business against loss of trade.


The manufacturer or business institution that overlooks this fact is not building for the future. The City Directory is active 365 days of the year - let it serve you as it does others.

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.
