500,000 Gallons of Tarvia for 
Brooklyn Borough, Greater New York 
macadam was either maintained at great expense or 
allowed to rapidly disintegrate. 
Tarviating solves the problem. 
It gives to macadam a slight plasticity so that it 
does not break up even under automobile traffic. 
The surface is clean, smooth, durable and dustless. 
Tarvia greatly extends the life of the macadam and 
reduces maintenance costs so materially that fre¬ 
quently the entire expense of the treatment is saved. 
Our illustrated booklet just issued, entitled “Good 
Roads—How to Build, Preserve and Make Them 
Dustless,” will be mailed free on request to nearest 
office. 
The above photograph shows Cropsev Avenue, 
Brooklyn, where the first experimental tarvia work in 
Greater New York was done several years ago. 
The results were so satisfactory that the authorities 
have been using more and more Tarvia each year, cul¬ 
minating in the huge 1910 order for 500,000 gallons. 
Tarvia solves the vexing problems of road mainte¬ 
nance on suburb, state and county roads where the de¬ 
velopment of property does not justify brick, sheet 
asphalt or wood block pavement, yet where the traffic 
is too heavy for ordinary macadam.
