Permanent
roads are a
not an expense
The High Cost
of Postponing
Permanent
Highway Building
Poor motor roads stifle industry and
agriculture, waste huge sums annually
in high maintenance costs, and greatly
increase gasoline, tire and repair bills.
There is not a state, not a county, not
a community, that isn’t paying a heavy
price lor having too few permanent
roads.
C There are still many sections of the
country — even whole states — that are
trying to operate twentieth century
traffic over nineteenth century roads.
This is costing millions of dollars every
• year, and will keep on costing millions
until w e have well developed permanent
highway systems everywhere.
Even what we often call the more
progressive communities are far behind
the demands of modern highway traffic
u with its 16,OCX),000 motor vehicles.
From the Atlantic to the Pacific, and
from Canada to Mexico, we need more
Concrete roads—the roads for twentieth
century traffic.
Your highway officials want to be of
the greatest possible service to you. Get
behind them with ways and means that
will provide more Concrete roads and
streets. Such an investment will pay you
big dividends year after year.
