TO THE EDITOR
Mr. .1. W. Hodges, of Ashville, X.
C., who planned to bring a party
■of North Carolina farmers here
about the first of July, writes the

With Other Georgia Cities

historic background than Louisville, the
first capital of Georgia,

of them this year.
Local authorities and property owners
arc highly pleased with the neat, attractive
appearance of this true, even pavement
with the aristocratic, light gray color.
They know, too, that its firm, rigid,
unyielding strength marks the end of costly
street repairs.
They know this because investigation
showed that concrete paving was giving
just such service to thousands of towns
and cities in every section of the country.
Concrete paving will give any com
munity greater value for each dollar in
vested than any other type.
