The photographs herewith show various sec¬ 
tions of the famous Lincoln Highway in the 
States of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio and 
Indiana, which have been treated with Tarvia. 
Note the smooth, dustless, easy-traction sur¬ 
face—and remember that your community can 
have these, all-the-year-round roads at very 
Good highways should be continuous! 
We should have continuous 
highways available the year 
’round. 
Traffic should continue to 
operate in winter as well as 
in summer. 
Economic development de¬ 
mands this. 
Mr. Roy O. Chapin, Chairman 
of the Highways Transport Com¬ 
mittee, says: 
“These main highways must be 
brought into a comprehensive 
system—patterned as the railroads 
have patterned their systems, striv¬ 
ing to connect population and 
shipping centers with regions of 
natural resources — agricultural, 
mineral, etc. Permanent sur¬ 
faced highways must be built and 
maintained sufficient to withstand 
the strain, and carry the traffic 
of the future.” 
Of what use to National High¬ 
ways transportation are certain 
good sections of road, if some 
communities persist in their neg¬ 
lect to improve and properly 
maintain the connecting links ? 
The facilities for motor car 
and truck transportation are 
already far ahead of the roads. 
This neglect of road improve¬ 
ment, therefore, is putting ob¬ 
stacles in the path of rapid 
national economic development. 
The one economical method of 
making and maintaining highways 
is Tarvia-macadam construction . 
Plain water-bound macadam 
is no longer strong enough for 
heavy traffic highways, but Tar- 
via-macadam will stand the wear 
and tear of speeding automobiles 
and giant motor trucks. 
The initial cost of a Tarvia 
road is a little more than that 
of ordinary water-bound maca¬ 
dam, but the great saving on 
maintenance more than offsets 
the difference in first cost. In¬ 
deed, many communities are now 
using Tarvia on all their princi¬ 
pal roads to save money . 
Communities that already have 
plain macadam roads that are 
beginning to show wear will 
find that a prompt surface appli¬ 
cation of the appropriate grade 
of Tarvia will arrest their deteri¬ 
oration and greatly prolong their 
life, and at much less expense 
than by any other method.
