GRANITOID IS
fine PAVING

Has been tried in many cities
and proves to be the most sanitary
and durable.
Paving Is one of the most i'm
portant questions that any large
city has to solve. 1t Is one of the
largest items of expense that a city
has. besides the comfort and con-
venience of the citizens depend to
a large eXteut on the composition
of the street.
Granitoid pavement, owned by
the Blome company of Chicago. is
now being tried out to a consider
able extent in Spokane. and from
all indications is going to give
first class satisfaction. 1t is in
general use In hundreds of cities
of the United States already and
is giving universal satisfaction. In
Spokane the following streets have
already been paved with Granitoid
pavement. Twenty-eight blocks on
north Division street, Mantle
place from Grand avenue at 21st
avenue around Mantle park.
Sixth avenue from Stevens to
Post is now being paved; also
Washington street from Second to
Eighth avenues. Work will be
started immediately on paving
Sherman street from Sprague ave-
nue. to Eleventh.
The Blome company invites the
public not only to inspect the paw
ing where it has been in use al
ready for several months, but also
to see the pavement while it is be-
ing laid, and note the absolute sol
idity and permanence with which
1t Is put in.
Granitoid is without doubt the
most sanitary and durable pave
ment now being used; its cost is
about the same as asphalt-it has
the advantage of being very easy
on horses. as the grooves in the
pavement give them a firm foot
hold. 80"
