BENEFITS OF CONCRETE ROAD Enables Farmer to Haul Two Loads at One Trip, Instead of One Load at Two Trips. Reduced to simple terms, a concrete road helps the farmer haul two loads at one trip instead of one loan at two trips; or, it doubles the size of the load and cuts in two the tractive ipower necessary to transport farm produce. With less capital tied up in horses there {8 more cash to put into equipment to produce more cash. The concrete road reduces the strain on horses and lengthens their lives. It luces wear on wagons and harness. " MWhere motortrucks are used it less- ens tire and fuel expense. It puts ‘the farmer in a state of preparedness to reach markets quickly when prices are best, and he can take his profits and get home with more cash than he could by slow hauling on a bad road. It adds to the acreage value of a farm because it increases its earning pos- sibilities. A concrete road makes all of these advantages permanent, bring- ing its toll of profit to the farmer 'daily in the form of time, money and effort saved.

This cuts out the old mortar and leaves a Repairing Brick Plvemev)t. clean, sound “key” for the new pave- ment to meet as it is laid.
