Experience with 
Tarvia at Oakwoods- 
Road in Oakwoods Cemetery; Chicago’ 
III. Constructed with “Tarvia X 
For a number of years “Tarvia A” has been used in Oakwoods Cemetery, Chicago, to preserve the road 
surface against the increasing automobile traffic, for which ordinary macadam was proving insufficient. 
The good results shown during several years of wear prompted the adoption of the heavier and more 
thorough “Tarvia X” application in 1911. The results shown at the end of a year are described in 
the following letter: 
Chicago, November 9, 1912. 
“Tarvia X” used during the season of 1911 has shown favorable results; in fact, it is the most practical 
treatment thus far found on our roads. We have extended its use to additional driveways during the present 
season and contemplate further applications next year. 
(Signed) Edward G. Carter, Supt. Oakwoods Cemetery Assn. 
The best testimonial to any product is the repeated orders. The most striking feature of the Tarvia 
business is the fact that, when a thorough test of Tarvia is made in a given locality, orders keep coming 
every year thereafter, in increasing quantities. Many towns, after experimenting with various road 
preservatives, have settled down to the steady use of Tarvia to the exclusion of all other dust layers and 
road binders. 
T arvia is a dense, viscid coal tar product which forms a plastic matrix around the stone and prevents ravel- 
ing by automobiles and water. Its cost is so low as to be more than repaid by the saving in maintenance.
