Ncwlon Boulevard, near Ilustoii. made dustless with 'l arvia Road Economy AUTOMOBILE traffic on macadam roads has in many cases confronted road authorities with new problems of maintenance. These heavy hij^h-speed vehicles, with their destructive tires, give to ordinary macadam a harder test than it was designed to endure. The top surface is pulverized and the dust nuisance, intolerable both to automobilists and other users of the roadway, is the result. An answer to the problem has been found in Tarvia. Tarvia acts as a waterproof itinder of the macadam. It forms a hard, dustless surface which ordinary automobile Traffic cannot injure. The Boston Department of Parks reports that the average cost per square yard of maintenance of macadam for 1903, 1904 and 1905 was .116, or nearly $1,000 per mile of fitteen foot roadway. This estimate includes watering, repair of roads and cleaning. Tarvia will save a large proportion of such cost and make the road dustless as well. The above photograph shows part of Newton Boulevard, near Boston, which was tarviated in the fall of 1906. After a severe winter, the road shows little indication of wear, being smooth, dustless and compact on the surface. Adjoining sections not tarviated are in bad shape — covered with loose stone and very dusty. They will require extensive renewal on the top surface to put them in condition for the summer. Automobilists, good road advocates, and owners of country homes who suffer from the dust nuisance are invited to send to us for our illustrated booklets regarding Tarvia — The Dust Layer — that never fails.
