CAUTION

Pay no money in advance to itinerant Directory Canvassers. We are led to mention this from the fact that certain parties have been fraudulently using our publications as specimens, and by that means collecting money in advance. Before signing an order, see that it has the name of the publisher of this City Directory printed thereon. We ask no payment until the work is delivered, and our solicitors have strict orders not to take advance payment for either advertising or subscriptions.

CAPITAL-FOR THE GROWING WEST

The continuing industrial expansion in the Western states has resulted in an ever-increasing need for the private capital of thousands of large and small investors to build factories and to develop markets for a growing list of products. Blyth & Co., Inc., underwriters and distributors of securities nationwide has, since 1914, played an important role in helping to supply the funds needed for this unprecedented expansion.

Listed below are some of the Western corporations which Blyth & Co., Inc. has helped finance, either as manager or joint manager of the under- writing or distributing syndicates, through the private or public sale of common stocks, preferred stocks or bonds.

The importance of keeping firm and product names in the public eye is recognized by all business men. It is astonishing to see how a firm or product, however meritorious, will slip into the limbo of the forgotten if not persistently advertised.

The City Directory is the natural medium for keep- ing a business or product name in the spotlight. Insist on being well represented in its pages.

Marines' Memorial Club HISTORY OF THE MARINES' CLUB

HERE IN THE VERY HEART OF SAN FRANCISCO'S business section stands the only memorial of its kind in the world. The Marines' Memorial Club, "Crossroads of the Corps," Is a million dollar living tribute to the Leathernecks who gave everything that those of us who remain may have something. Here any Marine from any war, regardless of rank or creed may enjoy the luxury of a swank downtown social club with its dining rooms, lounges, weekly dances, swimming pool, library, 115 hotel rooms and the Skyroom overlooking San Francisco Bay ; he may enjoy all facilities, entertain guests, and there are no membership fees, dues or assessments.

Unusual, too, is the fact that every dime towards the purchase of this 12-story building and its furnishings came from the Marines themselves. Individually every Marine who saw service in World War II contributed his part through his purchases at his Marine Post Ex- change.

THIS CLUB IS FOR ALL MARINES, officers and enlisted : former (honorably discharged) Marines : and the families and friends of Ma- rines and former Marines, Associate member- ships are available for hospital corpsmen and for veterans of other services who have served with Marines in time of war.

"A tribute to those Marines scho have gone before, and a service to those who carry on."
