Hazel Avenue, Buena Park, Chicago, Ill., constructed with Tarvia X 
Ordinary macadam belongs to the past. 
It is not adequate to meet the demands of 
modern automobile traffic. 
It must be discarded or tarviated. 
A tarviated road costs a little more than 
ordinary macadam, but lasts so much longer 
that the addition of the Tarvia is more than 
paid for in the reduction of maintenance. 
Tarvia makes a firm elastic matrix around 
the stone, filling all voids, excluding water, 
and resisting pulverization of the surface. 
For an old road that cannot be rebuilt or 
resurfaced, the “sprinkling” or “surface” 
treatment known as “Tarvia B” treament 
is highly effective. One treatment will 
give excellent results for a season, or even 
longer, depending upon the amount of traffic. 
This treatment is quite inexpensive. 
Tarvia gets at the original causes of road 
waste and disintegration. Oils and other 
devices simply make the dust too heavy to 
rise. They have little or no bonding or 
preservative properties. 
Tarvia is made in three grades:— 
Tarvia X, for road construction. 
Tarvia A, for use in surfacing old roads 
and keeping them dustless. 
Tarvia B, for dust suppression on old 
roads. 
Road Engineers, road authorities, auto¬ 
mobile owners and residents along macadam 
roads are invited to send for our booklet.
