NEWTON -BOULEVARD, NEAR. BOSTON, MADE DUSTLESS WITH TARVIA 
ROAD ECONOMY 
Automobile traffic on macadam roads has in many cases confronted road authorities with new problems 
of maintenance. 
Those heavy high-speed vehicles, with their destructive tires, give to ordinary macadam a harder test 
than it was designed to endure. The top surface is pulverized and the dust nuisance, intolerable both to 
automobilists and other users of the road is the result. 
An answer to the problem has been found in Tarvia. Tarvia acts as a waterproof binder of the ma- 
cadam. It forms a hard, dustless surface which ordinary automobile traffic cannot injure. 
The Boston Department of Parks reports that the average cost per square yard of maintenance of 
macadam for 1903, 1904 and 1905 was .116 or nearly $1,000 per mile of fifteen foot roadway. This 
estimate includes watering, repair of roads and cleaning. Tarvia will save a large proportion of such cost 
and make the road dustless as well. 
The above photograph shows part of Newton Boulevard, near Boston, which was tarviated in the fall of 
1 906. After a severe winter, the road shows little indication of wear, being smooth, dustless and compact 
on the surface. Adjoining sections not tarviated, one of which is Illustrated herewith, are in bad shape- 
covered with loose stone and very dusty. They will require extensive renewal on the top surface to put them 
in condition for the summer. 
Automobilists, good road advocates, and owners of country homes who suffer from the dust nuisance are 
invited to send to us for our illustrated booklets regarding Tarvia — The Dust Layer that never falls.}
