Printing Service
ITH whom would you rather do business? The man who steals up and whispers, "I can make you a price," or the man who steps up briskly and says, "I can render you service?"
We sell the kind of printing a man can send out with pride and the as- surance that it will bring results,- and we think enough of our ability to charge a reasonable price for it. That price is neither high nor low. It's fair-always.
Service is the basis on which we ask for your business. .

The Headquarters of the Universal Brotherhood and Theosophical Society at Point Loma, with the buildings and the grounds pertaining thereto are no "Community", "Settlement", or "Colony". They form no experiment in Socialism, Communism or anything of similar nature, but are what they stand for: the Central Executive Office of an International Organization where the business of the same is carried on, and where the teachings of Theosophy are being demonstrated. Midway 'twist East and West, where the rising Sun of Progress and Enlightenment shall one day stand at full meridian, it unites the philosophic Orient with the practical West.

INTRODUCTORY
San Diego, the County Seat of San Diego County, is located on San Diego Bay, 126 miles south of Los Angeles, and 14 miles north of the International Boundary Line. Latitude 32 degrees, 41 minutes, 58 seconds North, Longitude 117 degrees, 13 minutes, 22 seconds West. The Climatic conditions are almost ideal. This favorable situation is brought about through the difference in at- mospheric pressure between the hot interior valleys and the Pa- cific Ocean. The result gives San Diego cool uniform days and nights, free from extremes or what is really the Summer tempera- ture of the Pacific Ocean.
The Bay of San Diego has an area of 22 square miles, is com- pletely land locked and has a depth of 39 feet over the bar at low water.
In keeping with the growth of the community, the city recent- ly spent a large sum on harbor improvements. This expenditure provided a Municipal Pier, Warehouse, Administration Building and 2600 feet of bulkhead, took care of a large amount of dredging and gave to the city 80 acres of valuable filled in Tide Lands. The city still owns 1320 acres of tide lands-a stupendous asset perhaps possessed by no other city in the world.
Perhaps no better evidence can be offered of San Diego's many and unusual advantages of location, climate, bay, harbor and general surroundings than is shown in the preferences extended by the Federal Government.
Briefly stated they are as follows :
Camp Kearny-U. S. National Guard Encampment.
Headquarters 21st Infantry U. S. Army.
U. S. Naval Training Station.
U. S. Marine Corps Base. .. .
U. S. Government Concrete Ship Yards.
U. S. Marine Ways.
U. S. Army Aviation School-Two Fields.
U. S. Navy Aviation School.
U. S. Naval Coaling Station.
U. S. Naval Fuel Oil Station.
U. S. Quarantine Station.
U. S. Submarine Operating Base.
Fort Rosecrans-Coast Artillery.
U. S. Naval High Power Radio Station.
U. S. Naval Radio Station.
Training Port for Vessels of Pacific Fleet.
San Diego is the greatest military rendexvous ever created west of Chicago, all branches of the Army and Navy being rep- resented.
The County of San Diego contains almost 2,700,000 acres, but as the, eastern part is mountainous, not more than 500,000 acres are suitable for agicultural purposes. On the other hand these moun- tainous districts offer to the visitor quite as enchanting bits of scenery as can be found on the coast.
III.
ag. 18
bso The western part of the county is divided into a series of irreg- ular terraces or plateaus. The lower, or coast terrace, practically frostless, comprises a number of valleys with intervening mesa lands. Next comes a series of higher valleys varying in elevation from 400 to 1500 feet. The third series includes the foothill dis- tricts, with numerous small valleys, nooks and glens with an ele- vation of 2500 to 4000 feet.
The city owns its water system which is valued at $6,500,000. The source of supply is the impoundment in reservoirs of the flow of the mountain streams. and the natural underground reservoir of the San Diego river adjacent to the city.
The present supply is adequate and can be largely increased when necessary. The yield from available sources is approximate- ly 30 billion gallons per annum. The average daily consumption is 10 million gallons, supplied at a cost to the consumer of 8 cents per thousand gallons.
On account of the great diversity of soil conditions and be- cause of the great range in altitude, an endless variety of products is obtained.
