Colour-illustrated softcovers cover art illustration of beautifully built highway with towering trees and Austin-Western road grader smoothing road in front of picturesque bungalow w/ mountains in the distance minor shelfwear rubbing still NF copy w/ promotional sheet detailing the equipment in this catalogue on Austin-Western Road Machinery Co. letterhead. First edition of this scarce catalogue of equipment which played a crucial role in road building driven by the Good Roads Movement during the opening decades of the 20th century. At the end of the 19th century less than 50% of roads within American cities were paved and the very few highways and turnpikes connecting cities and towns were little more than crushed rock macadam dirt roads or even paths. Sidewalks were nearly unknown and unlike Europe road construction was not primarily managed by national or local governments. Although founded in the 1880s by bicycling enthusiasts the Good Roads Movement at the beginning of the 20th century began to be driven largely by advocates of the automobile. In 1901 the F.C. Austin Manufacturing Co. and the Western Wheeled Scraper Co. which had been fierce competitors formed a selling corporation known as Austin-Western Road Machinery Co. The company specialized initially in building scrapers but during the opening decades of the 20th century began producing wheel graders patrol graders self motor graders snow plows rollers dump wagons gutter cleaners and even asphalt hot patch outfits all shown in this catalogue. In 1916 just 12 years before President Wilson had signed the Federal Aid Road Act enabling America to embark on a truly national highway and road construction campaign that continued to the end of the 1920s.
