Description

"On the Cost and Life of Pavements," issued by Standard Oil Company of California, 1922. The item gives information on the benefits of asphaltic concrete on roadways, highlighting its low cost, durability, and low maintenance. The process of making the material, photographs illustrating that, and photographs of cities with descriptions of how they've used the process, are also included. With some edge wear to the wrappers, but little evidence of wear otherwise, the condition is good.
