Concrete Roads Are Built to Ride On— Not to Slide On When you come to a stretch of Concrete road you feel your car “take hold” on the firm, ever surface. You notice the sure, swift action of the brakes even in wet weather —how easy it is to steer. You make your own comparisons with other road surfaces. Then you realize why Concrete hard- surfaced roads are being built everywhere in response to motorists’ needs. eee One of the purposes of the Portland Cement Association is to enable everyone —whether he uses Concrete or has it used for him —to get the greatest value for his money. We have a personal service to offer individuals and communities Let us know definitely what help you need. There is no obligation. Our booklet R-) tells many interesting facts about Concrete reads.
