James Wood hat-been so widely advertised as the finest residence section of Piedmont and the East Bay, many are apt to assume that a home "in St. James Wood is "over their heads," says Robert B. Mitchell, salesman-ager for L'Hommedleu Dunann. owners and developers of the property. "As a matter of fact," Mitchell states, "we have lots fifty feet or more in width in St.

James Wood, ranging from $2800 up. The building restriction on some of these is J7600, on others JIO.OOO and tht rest $15,000, so tht one can build within the borders of St. James Wood and still make but a moderate investment in his home. The made throughout the tract and one portion will be as beautiful in every detail as any other portion, the only, difference being in the mint-mum size of homes permitted. Even the smaller homes are governed by restrictions that require the plans to be submitted to the homes association and so beautiful architecture Is insured.

"If one is considering the building of a home the many advantage of St. James Wood should not be overlooked. Being in Piedmont (about a dozen lots are in Oakland) Is an advantage to any home section. The lower tax rate, the bans against business and apartment house development in Piedmont are incentives to fine home building. Piedmont is' essentially a home city, devoted exclusively to homes and providing every possible protection to the home.

"St. James Wood offers, moreover, advantages not to be found even in other portions of Piedmont. For instance all wiring is laid underground. There are no poles mar the natural beauty of the gorgeous views of hills and bay, nor the alluring vistas of curving streets and splendid homes. Every street is landscaped and the parking both In the streets and beside them is maintained permanently bv the homes association to which every property owner belongs.

"Why build In an ordinary Motion that has none of these advantages when a site in St. James Wood costs very little, if any, more? Not only is the pleasure of home ownership Increased in such surroundings but the value of property here la bound to Increase rapidly. No other district on this side of the bay has such permanent assurance of high value as a home district aa has St. James Wood- "In addition to the original St. James Wood we are now offering large sites in Upper Piedmont Estates, the new property adjoining St.
