Praise For Manchester Highways 
and the so-called Kimball Process. 
The ‘‘Kimball process,’’ so-called, 
which is an improvement in road building 
over the macadam finish, and for the 
purpose of seeing which a number of 
prominent road builders and superintend- 
ents came from various parts of the state 
last fall, is attracting wide attention. 
Supt. Kimball is now using this tar- 
macadam on School street, Manchester, 
which is being re-surfaced. 
The Gloucester Dazly Times in comment- 
ing on highways and automobiles editor- 
ially a few days ago had this to say: 
‘At this time when automobiles are 
playing such havoc with the surface of 
macadam highways, experiments which 
may solve the problem of securing a 
method by which the road may with- 
stand the wear and tear of motor car traf- 
fic are interesting. Last year numerous 
tests were made, and Superintendent of 
Highways Kimball of Manchester tried 
a plan which has evidently stood the test 
and has proven practical. On a section 
of a much traversed street, a preparation 
of tar and crushed stone was used, and 
the results were gratifying. “The tar made 
an excellent bed to hold the stone, and a 
good surface was furnished. ‘The dis- 
ereeable feature of the prevalence of dust 
was removed, and the section is still in 
excellent condition after considerable 
constant travel. So satisfactory has the 
method proven, it has been decided to 
lay a similar additional section as a sub- 
stitution for the ordinary macadam. 
““The problem of building highways 
which will be proof against the automo- 
bile is a serious one to many communi- 
ties, and is becoming more and more so 
as the use of motor vehicles continues to 
increase. Gloucester is well aware of 
this, as some of the roads will show, 
hespecially the state higway to Magnolia, 
where in many places the top dressing 
has been torn practically off by the light- 
ning like revolving wheels of the innum- 
erable automobiles which daily pass over 
the road. “The Manchester plan of im- 
proved road building seems to be all that 
is desired, although further time may be 
desired to fully warrant this belief. How- 
ever, there is no doubt but the motor car 
has come to stay, and it seems as if some 
change in the highway construction 
methods will be necessary on thorough- 
fares where the travel of this kind is 
heaviest and most constant.”’

IN PAUL REVERE’S DAY 
ur forefathers wore homemade suits of homespun 
cloth, and very durable they were, too. No big 
oe woolen mills in those days to produce handsome 
fabrics-no large tailoring establishments of world- 
wide fame. How infinitely better is the method of today. 
In this progressive age the man of good taste and refine- 
ment chooses from the 
Shuman and #& & 
Kuppenheimer Clothes 
And thereby secures a Suit or Overcoat fully as durable as 
the old Homespun, but incomparably more handsome, made 
in the latest and most approved styles from many beautiful 
and exclusive patterns. Kuppenheimer Clothes are the 
best made in America today. We carry a full line at
