 Gentlemen ; 



Ans vering- jour inquiry of Feb. 3rd, 

 will say that the trees treated by your experts are doing- nicely and I consider the treatment a suocess. One 

 fine tree in particular would have been a total loss had it not been treated, but now it is healing- over and appar- 



ently is in good healthy condition. 



Very truly jours, 

 {Signed) J. D. 



The American public has little idea of the damag-e which has been done bv 

 the outrag'eous practices of the ordinary tree-men. This damag'e is almost 

 equally the work of the ignorant type, whose only tools are the axe and 

 saw, and of most of those claiming to be ^^tree doctors.'" A tree expert is one 

 who noi- oily understands tree life from a scientific and practical stand- 

 point, hut who is skilled in the proper methods of tree surgery by long 

 training under John Davey and his men. Tree surgery is a science 

 which cannot be learned outside of the Davey Institute of Tree Surgery, 

 the only school of its kind. It is self-evident, therefore, that the Davey 

 Tree Experts are the only men who are fully qualified t o handle 

 wounded and crippled trees. 



More Than Half the Work of the Davey Experts is Undoins: 

 the Damage Done by Unskilled and Unscrupulou? Tree-men 



" An ounce of prevention, etc." Play safe ! Have your trees 

 treated in time. Play safe again ! Put your trees in the care of real 

 experts —the Davey men. Do not trust them to those who claim to 

 have been Davey m^n. The Davev reputation is sometimes prostituted 

 by unscrupulous men who have ro legal or moral claim to it. 



We are now arranging the spring and fiummer itineraries of our special representatives. 

 These ednc ited and trained tree-men will this season cover the country east of the Mi.-souri 

 river. Write us how many trees you have, whnt kinds and where located. It is entirely 

 possible that, while in your vicinity, one of our men can make an expert examination of 

 your ^rees without cost or obligation to you. Write now to avoid de'ay. Every yew we 

 have applications f jr examination which come so late that it is inconvenient or impossible 

 to give them attention. We will send you a handsomely illust-ated booklet giving full 

 particulars and explaining the Fcien'^e of tree surgery and containine ample proofs of its 

 efficiency when practiced by trained and reliable men of a responsible business organization.
