Macon, Georgia, is one of the J
best paved cities in America. It Vq fc -
took its first stride toward this
goal in 1912, when it invested in
40,000 square yards of concrete
street paving.
Three years later a contract was
let for200,000$quareyard8tnore.'
Macon ha, ahown it, preference for
concrete each year since by building
more concrete streets both i» btuioen V;
and residential sections.
Many of these pavementa have been
subjected to heavy and continuous rrt
traffic. All oi them are in fine condi- __
tion and have required almost no /?(]
maintenance. Think what that means ,"y { ■
in money saved for Macon property 'ill
owner*
What concrete streets have done
for Macon they will do for any city
or town.
