Tarvia in a Residential Park 
I N Cedar Rapids, Iowa, is a beautiful resi- 
dential park known as Ridgewood. The 
original owners of the property were 
anxious to secure clean, dustless, attractive 
roadways at minimum expense. Something 
better than dusty water-bo'und macadam 
was desired. They decided to try tarviated 
macadam ; that is, macadam built with 
Tarvia as a binder. 
The following letter from the owners of 
the property was written after an experi- 
ence of several years : 
Cedar Rapids, la., June G, 1911. 
Upon the advice of our landscapers, we constructed 
tar filled macadam paving in our landscaped residential 
park in Cedar Rapids, known as Ridgewood, using Tar- 
via therefor. 
We believe it to be especially appropriate for a prop- 
erty of this character. These streets are in good con- 
dition and are perhaps the most used of any pleasure 
drives in or about the City and we think are consid- 
ered among the best. 
Yours very truly, 
(Signed) Malcolm V. Bolton & Co. 
Tarvia is a dense, viscid coal tar product 
which fills the voids in the macadam and 
encloses the stone in a tough, durable mat- 
rix which is clean and dustless. It is free 
from dust and mud and dries after a shower 
as quickly as a city pavement. 
Booklets regarding Tarvia will be sent 
free on request. Address our nearest office.
