I. A concrete road brings your 
farm nearer to market and adds 
dollars to profits. And this applies 
not only to farms on the concrete 
road but to every neighboring farm. 
Over a concrete road you can 
6. Your children can go to school 
in all kinds of weather, and when 
they grow up they will be content 
to live at home. 
haul four times the load that you 
can over dirt roads out of repair. 
You can do your hauling in wet 
weather and your farming in dry 
weather. 
3. Wear and tear on horses, har¬ 
ness and wagons is very much less. 
4. You can travel faster; start 
later; get home earlier. 
5. Your family can drive to town 
any day in the year. They do not 
have to stay at home waiting for the 
roads to dry. 
7. Merchants in town can deliver 
goods to your door. 
You have to pay a road tax in 
your township or county. Why not 
use it for permanent highways in¬ 
stead of for repairs on imperma¬ 
nent roads. 
The way to get concrete roads 
in your community is to demand 
them. See that a continuous sys¬ 
tem of roads is built; not a few 
stretches scattered about here and 
there. Our Bulletin No. 136 is full 
of interesting information. Write
