F or Macadam Roads in City Parks and Parkways TAR VI A 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 application 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 iqo6, 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 
screenings, 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 main- 
tenance 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. Write for our booklet, with complete information and particulars.
