  FOR 
  Macadam 
  Roads 
  in 
  City 
  Parks 
  and 
  Parkways 
  TARVIA 
  is 
  ideal. 
  Heavy 
  automobile 
  

   traffic, 
  which 
  centers 
  in 
  such 
  places, 
  has 
  ruined 
  them 
  for 
  pedestrians 
  in 
  many 
  cases 
  on 
  account 
  of 
  

   the 
  intolerable 
  dust 
  nuisance. 
  The 
  fact 
  that 
  this 
  nuisance 
  can 
  be 
  abolished 
  by 
  a 
  single 
  applica- 
  

   tion 
  of 
  TARVIA 
  has 
  attracted 
  the 
  attention 
  of 
  park 
  authorities 
  all 
  over 
  the 
  country 
  to 
  this 
  means 
  for 
  

   the 
  suppression 
  of 
  dust. 
  During 
  the 
  summer 
  of 
  1906, 
  cities 
  all 
  over 
  the 
  country 
  — 
  notably 
  Chicago, 
  

   Boston 
  and 
  New 
  York 
  — 
  made 
  use 
  of 
  TARVIA 
  with 
  unvarying 
  success. 
  

  

  TARVIA 
  is 
  a 
  viscid 
  coal 
  tar 
  preparation. 
  It 
  is 
  spread 
  hot 
  on 
  the 
  road 
  and 
  covered 
  with 
  screen- 
  

   ings, 
  with 
  which 
  it 
  forms 
  an 
  amalgam 
  which 
  acts 
  like 
  a 
  blanket 
  on 
  the 
  surface 
  of 
  the 
  road, 
  and 
  does 
  

   not 
  pulverize 
  under 
  the 
  action 
  of 
  traffic 
  or 
  side 
  wash 
  under 
  the 
  action 
  of 
  water. 
  The 
  process 
  of 
  

   application 
  is 
  simple 
  and 
  inexpensive, 
  and 
  the 
  saving 
  in 
  sprinkling 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  maintenance 
  of 
  the 
  road 
  

   more 
  than 
  repays 
  the 
  cost 
  of 
  treatment. 
  

  

  In 
  appearance 
  a 
  tarviated 
  road 
  resembles 
  asphalt, 
  except 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  more 
  gray 
  in 
  its 
  color 
  and 
  affords 
  

   better 
  foothold 
  for 
  horses. 
  A 
  single 
  application 
  will 
  keep 
  a 
  road 
  in 
  splendid 
  condition 
  for 
  a 
  year 
  

   without 
  other 
  attention, 
  and 
  only 
  in 
  cases 
  of 
  most 
  extreme 
  traffic 
  will 
  any 
  sprinkling 
  whatever 
  be 
  

   required. 
  

  

  TARVIA 
  is 
  a 
  genuine 
  road 
  improvement, 
  doing 
  away 
  with 
  the 
  dust 
  nuisance 
  by 
  getting 
  at 
  its 
  

   fundamental 
  causes.
