The tribute of 



William Hill to 



Davey Tree Surgery 



MR. WILLIAM 

 HILL, Superin- 

 tendent, Estate of 

 Frank A. Bayles, 

 Pawtucket, R. I. 



Estate of Mr. Frank A. Sai/les, Panctuckct, R. I. This view shows less than one quarter of the grounds. 



The Davey Tree Expert Co., Kent, Ohio. Pawtucket, R. I. 



Gentlemen: I feel it my duty to express to you my appreciation of the work executed by 

 your experts upon the trees on the estate of Mr. Frank A. Sayles. 



Every stage of the treatment was shown me by your representative. First, the outlining 

 of the cavity, then the cleaning of every particle of decayed wood: then the importance of 

 every piece of bracing employed, the cutting back of the bark, the disinfecting of t lie cavity 

 and the waterproofing of the same; and last but not least, the filling of the cavity section 

 by section. 



I think the work done by your experts is a marvelous revelation in Tree Surgery. Your 

 experts are worthy of the highest praise, not a minute of their time is wasted, and it 

 would be difficult to choose, from the representative, the foreman or the men, one who is 

 more enthusiastic or more gentlemanly than the others. 



I most heartily wish you every success. Sincerely yours. 



WILLIAM HILL. 

 The saving of priceless trees is a matter of first importance on every estate. 

 Davey Tree Surgery is a fulfillment of the minimum expectations Of those who love and 

 value trees. A careful examination of your trees will lie made by appointment.
