GREAT NATIONAL ORGANIZATION 



How would you like to have a 

 position, as a trained expert, 

 with the largest and most suc- 

 cessful organization of its kind in the 

 world — a position that offers you an 

 unusual opportunity to make good in 

 a big way? Where your advance- 

 ment is limited only by yourself? 



That is just the kind of position 

 the Davey Tree Expert Company 

 offers to 250 ambitious young men— 

 to YOU, if you can qualify. 



The Davey Tree Expert Company 

 — with branch ofiBces in New York, 

 Chicago, and Philadelphia, and with 

 permanent representatives in all prin- 

 cipal cities east of the Mississippi — 

 practices the profession of Tree Sur- 

 gery on a large national scale. 



Owners of this country's most beau- 

 tiful estates — such men as Rockefeller, 

 Vanderbilt, Astor, Armour, etc. — 

 come to Davey experts for the scien- 

 tific treatment of their trees. 



The demand for Davey service is 

 growing so rapidly that we find it 

 necessary to train for our organiza- 

 tion 250 additional young men. 



We cannot secure trained experts 

 from outside sources. The science of 

 Tree Surgery was originated and de- 

 veloped entirely by the Davey Com- 

 pany, hence we can add expert Tree 

 Surgeons to our organization only by 

 training them ourselves. 



Therefore, we have arranged to train 250 young men this fall 

 and winter — either at theirhomes in their spare time, or under 

 personal instructors at our Kent headquarters — so that they 

 will be ready to take up their new positions with us next season. 



To those whose spirit yearns fornature and the great outdoors, 

 the profession of Tree Surgery offers a rare opportunity for a 

 fascinating, vitalizing and uplifting work with unusual 

 vancement in keeping with the beat that is in you. 



Considered from every standpoint, 

 the profession of the Davey Tree 

 Surgeon is ideal. 



His day is a day of fresh air and 

 properly balanced outdoor exercise 

 — a combination that means health 

 and an inspiring relief from the mo- 

 notony and grind and dust of ordinary 

 work. His work is not only pleasant, 

 but is fascinating in the extreme, de- 

 veloping in a man mechanical skill 

 and scientific accuracy. 



He practices his profession on beau- 

 tiful country estates and around the 

 finest homes, and conducts his busi- 

 ness with men and women of wealth 

 and refinement. 



His profession commands the re- 

 spect of everybody. It is a highly 

 useful and impressive work. The field 

 is inexhaustible, and the demand for 

 real experts who are honest and 

 efficient is increasingly greater than 

 the supply. 



He enjoys a rare opportunity to 

 travel and see the best parts of the 

 country, with car fare paid. He 

 works with the finest type of clean, 

 American manhood; not mollycod- 

 dles, but fine, manly fellows. 



He is well paid — responsible menin 



the Davev organization earning from 



$1,000 to $10,000 a year. And best of 



all, there is no hmit to his chance for 



advancement. 



QUALIFICATIONS: If your age is between 18 and 32, if you 



are healthy, and if you can furnish satisfactory references as 



to character, you are qualified for training and employment 



by the Davey Company. Unmarried men preferred.

WE WILL TRAI.N YOU AT YOUR HOME— OR WE WILL TRAIN YOU AT THE DAVEY INSTITUTE LABORATORIES 



For those who are unable to come to Kent for the resident 

 instruction and laboratory work, we have arranged a special 

 course of preliminary home study, followed by thorough, prac- 

 tical training. 



Each lesson has been so carefully planned for 

 the requirements of home study that you can 

 readily complete the entire course during the win- 

 ter months. Your home study will not make you 

 a finished expert, let us say frankly, but it 

 will give you such a thorough grasp of the 

 fundamentals of Davey Tree Surgery that 

 your progress will be rapid and certain. 

 In the spring, after your winter study 

 Is finished, we will call you in for practi-
