A cheap way to bring your old pavements up to date

You don't have to scrap those old pavements, that are now too thin to withstand modern, heavy traffic. Just bring them up to date.

Lay a new surface of durable asphaltic concrete right on top of them. To make them really modern, specify non-skid asphaltic concrete.

Rain or shine, in any kind of weather, asphaltic concrete non-skid pavements are always safe. They've been adopted as standard by states, counties and cities throughout the West.

Not only do you save money on construction, but on upkeep as well. Scores of asphaltic concrete pavements in the Pacific West States have given from 15 to 20 years of service with little or no upkeep costs whatever.

Why not investigate asphaltic concrete before you pave?

Asphaltic CONCRETE NON-SKID pavements

At the 1911 Elgin Road Race

Great piles of hay, loose and baled, were banked on the turns to afford greater safety for drivers and mechanics.

This was an early application of a cushioned highway guard-impracticable, of course, for general use on all roads.

Write for this 32-page book which gives results of exhaustive tests on highway protection. A copy is yours for the asking.

CUSHION the Shock and Save Lives..

Rigid guard rails are dangerous. If solid, they are like a brick wall-unyielding-causing dangerous wall smash-ups. If they tear apart, rigid guards are worse than no guard at all.

Automobiles and trucks out of driver-controlwhether it be a collision or a skid-are kept safely on the highway with Page "Hi-Way" Guards. The shock of impact is softened . . . the tremendous energy of the moving mass is absorbed in the stretch of the fabric.

Some of the advantages of Page "Hi-Way" Guard are low material and erection cost; flat weave; continuous in joints; easily repaired; brightly visible at night.

PAGE HI-WAY GUARD The Lifeline of the Highway

Ben' Brandau likes horses and dogs well enough, but first in his affection are the spirited cars which are his special care at Oakburne. He keeps a whole fleet of them shining and running like brand new. And his preference for Shell 400 is known to the whole household Even at the stables we can see that people at Oakburne, country estate of Mr. Kenneth Walsh, must lead busy and interesting lives
