  The 
  Dust 
  Problem 
  Solved 
  

  

  THE 
  problem 
  of 
  suppressing 
  road 
  dust 
  is 
  now 
  receiving 
  the 
  attention 
  of 
  the 
  best 
  engineers 
  

   and 
  road 
  makers 
  in 
  all 
  civilized 
  countries. 
  The 
  suppression 
  of 
  this 
  nuisance 
  has 
  become 
  a 
  

   necessity, 
  for 
  not 
  only 
  does 
  it 
  damage 
  crops 
  and 
  decrease 
  real 
  estate 
  values 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  a 
  

   menace 
  to 
  health 
  itself. 
  

  

  Various 
  methods 
  have 
  been 
  tried, 
  including 
  sprinkling 
  roads 
  with 
  fresh 
  water, 
  treating 
  them 
  

   with 
  calcium 
  chloride, 
  impregnating 
  the 
  road 
  surfaces 
  with 
  crude 
  oiis 
  of 
  various 
  kinds, 
  etc., 
  

   but 
  all 
  of 
  these 
  methods 
  have 
  fallen 
  short 
  of 
  their 
  purpose. 
  

  

  Within 
  the 
  past 
  two 
  years, 
  following 
  some 
  experiments 
  by 
  French 
  engineers, 
  this 
  company 
  

   introduced 
  Tarvia, 
  a 
  special 
  tar 
  preparation. 
  The 
  results 
  from 
  this 
  treatment 
  have 
  been 
  unusually 
  

   successful. 
  Some 
  800,000 
  yards 
  of 
  macadam 
  roads 
  were 
  treated 
  in 
  about 
  thirty 
  different 
  cities. 
  

   This 
  included 
  work 
  at 
  Jackson, 
  Tenn., 
  under 
  the 
  supervision 
  of 
  the 
  United 
  States 
  Department 
  

   of 
  Agriculture 
  and 
  work 
  on 
  New 
  York 
  roads 
  under 
  the 
  supervision 
  of 
  the 
  State 
  Boards. 
  It 
  was 
  

   absolutely 
  demonstrated 
  that 
  Tarvia 
  not 
  only 
  suppresses 
  dust 
  but 
  adds 
  materially 
  to 
  the 
  durability 
  

   of 
  the 
  road. 
  It 
  has 
  been 
  estimated 
  that 
  its 
  use 
  reduces 
  the 
  wear 
  on 
  the 
  road 
  itself 
  about 
  one-half, 
  

   and 
  in 
  this 
  way 
  the 
  treatment 
  practically 
  pays 
  for 
  itself. 
  

  

  To 
  anyone 
  interested 
  we 
  will 
  gladly 
  send 
  booklet 
  showing 
  numerous 
  

   roads 
  which 
  have 
  been 
  treated, 
  with 
  full 
  idata 
  covering 
  the 
  subject.
