How Tarvia looked 
after nine years — 
The Pase o, Kansas City, Mo. 
Constructed with ,,Tarvia-X” in 1908 
In 1908 this fine stretch of boulevard 
in Kansas City was built with 
“Tarvia-X” as a binder. 
As one of the thoroughfares in the 
city’s boulevard system, it is subject 
to much swift automobile traffic. 
Ordinary plain macadam would 
have disintegrated very shortly and 
the annual up-keep would have 
been very high. 
Tarvia, however, acting as a binder 
made this road automobile-proof as 
well as dustless and mudless. Au- 
tomobile traffic instead of disrupt- 
ing this surface merely rolls it down 
smoother. The Tarvia also makes 
the road waterproof and frost-proof. 
Mr. Ralph R. Benedict, of the Park 
Board, reports that the pavement 
has given “the best of satisfaction. 
* * * * There has been very little 
expense for maintenance and the 
pavement is still in excellent shape.” 
During the nine years Kansas City, 
thanks to Tarvia, has enjoyed a 
dustless, mudless, automobile-proof 
road and, what is more important, 
it has saved money at the same time. 
In the nine years that have passed since 
this road was constructed, Tarvia roads 
have been built almost without number 
and Tarvia materials and Tarvia meth- 
ods have been standardized throughout 
the country. 
An inquiry to the nearest Barrett office 
will bring prompt response and full in- 
forrnation in regard to Tarvia possi- 
bilities.
