CALUMET AVENUE, CALUMET, MICH., MADE DUSTLESS WITH TARVIA “B”. 
TARVIA FOR SMALL CITIES 
Tarviated macadam, i. e.. macadam which has been bonded with Tarvia to preserve the roadway 
and prevent dust, furnishes an ideal pavement for the streets of small cities. It gives to the 
macadam the appearance of sheet asphalt; is clean, quiet and durable; while its cost is frequently 
less than that of untreated macadam on account of the great saving in maintenance. 
The city of Niles, Mich., for instance, is enthusiastic over the success of the Tarvia applications 
on two of its best streets. The local paper states that “it gives the greatest of satisfaction, and 
the town now has two splendid roadways. Rescued from the slush and mud, St. Joseph avenue has 
just been transformed into a thing of beauty and a joy forever. East Main street has been treated 
likewise and in consequence N'les has two stretches of roadway that will make our citizens want 
more ot the same kind.” 
Tarvia is the only well-tried material for binding macadam roads to prevent dust and excessive 
wear. It gives greater cohesion and a degree of elasticity such as to cause the road to be smoothed 
out by traffic without pulverizing. 
Tarvia is made in three grades to suit various conditions of surface. On a new road where the 
interstices are large, Tarvia X is used, a very heavy viscid substance with sufficient strength to 
bind the stones of new macadam. Tarvia A, a more fluid material, is used on the surface, while 
Tarvia B, the lightest, is applied as a dust suppressor.
