Eight Years of larvia 
T he right-hand roadway in the above 
photograph is the main drive in Forest 
Lawn Cemetery. Here is the history: 
1008 It was constructed with “Tarvia-X” 
as a binder. The “Tarvia-X,” which is very 
dense, viscid and tough, filled the voids in 
the broken stone of the wearing-course of the 
road, and formed a tough, durable matrix. 
In this matrix the 
stones could not shift 
or abrade under heavy 
loads. Frost was ex- 
cluded and the dura- 
bility of the surface 
was greatly increased.

19 10. No mainte-

1911. No maintenance cost. 
1912. The road was given a light coating of 
“Tarvia-B” applied cold from a modified 
sprinkling-cart at slight expense. 
1913. No maintenance cost. 
1914. No maintenance cost. 
1915. A coat of “Tarvia-A” was applied hot 
with a new facing of granite chips. 
1916. The photograph shows the condition 
of the road in this year. 
On August 31, 1916, Mr. Craig wrote: “It 
has been eight years this summer since we 
started to use Tarvia, and the results we 
have obtained have 
been very satisfactory. 
The maintenance cost 
has been a very small 
item when 3^ou take 
into consideration the 
amount of paving we 
have, approximately 
40,000 square yards, 
the same not needing 
any repairs until about 
three years ago. We 
think this is a very 
good record. We wish to say further that 
our avenues are in very good condition 
toda\% and with a little top-dressing once in 
a while, they should last for years.” 
Tarv'a roads are clean, durable, cheap and 
beautiful. They cost less in the long run 
than plain macadam.
