The
Road
Or what paved the way
for sixty-one million cars?
When you drive anywhere in America today
it isn't an adventure.
You no longer jolt down unmarked and un
charted roads in uncertain cars. Roads that
are bottomless mudholes or rock-ribbed ruts.
But your father did. For a mere forty years
ago there were hardly 4,000 miles of paved
roads in this country, and not quite 2,500,000
automobiles to go anyw here on them.
What changed the picture so quickly to
300,000 miles of smooth highways and over
61,000,000 vehicles? For one thing, the simple
need for American business to make a profit.
Example: the automobile manufacturers. Tty
ing to sell more cars and make a profit, they
made constantly better cars. The better the
cars became, the more people bought them.
The more people bought cars, the greater the
need for safe roads. And we built them.
Example: the oil companies. We had to make
a profit, too. So after we refined the gasoline

we scraped the bottom of the barrel of crude
oil and made asphalt. At first it was a primitive
black-top that was poured right on the road.
But to sell it in competition with costlier mate
rials, we kept improving it.
Result: today heavy-duty asphalt covers eight
Out of every ten miles of American roads. 1 o
day, too, our expanding economy calls for a
third more miles of new and wider highways.
Your taxes will pay for these new roads
ho we hope they're huilt of asphalt. It does
everything any costlier material doe*. It
ran nave von as niueh an $78,818 jwr mile.
It's proved itself in paving the way for
sixty-one million ears.
