"I CONSIDER THIS A 

 REMARKABLE RECORD" 



That Is the Opinion of the City Engineer of Kalamazoo, Michigan, After He Had Seen What 

 Pioneer Road Asphalt Will Do in the way of Making Better Roads and Making Them Durable. 



GILBERT AVENUE, KALAMAZOO, MICHIGAN. WATERPROOFED WITH "PIONEER" ROAD ASPHALT IN 1908. 



READ THIS ENGINEER'S LETTER: 



The American Asphaltum &. Rubber Co., 

 Chicago, 111. 



Gentlemen: 



In reply to your inquiry as to the condition of the Macadam pavement on Gilbert Avenue, 

 this city, which was waterproofed with your Pioneer Asphalt in the early part of 1908, beg to 

 state that this pavement is today in as good condition as when material was applied. 



I consider this a remarkable record in view of the fact that this street is on a side 

 hill, and before the asphalt was applied, macadam was washed out in a great many places after 

 each heavy rain. I might also add, as you are aware, that there is a street railway track in 

 the center of the street. 



Yours truly 



(signed) H. A. JOHNSTON, 

 Kalamazoo, Mich., Aug. 21, 1909. City Engineer.
