Gentlemen : Last year your experts treated a number of trees on the 

 estate of Mr. Morris Whitridge, of which I am in charge. 



I naturally was interested in this work, as the particular trees treated 

 had previously been filled with cement. When this crude filling was 

 removed, revealing the hidden decay, I was curious to find out if the 

 same thing would happen again in a few years after your men had 

 completed their work. 



As I watched closely each stage of the treatment given by your 

 representatives, I soon saw how your methods made it utterly impossi- 

 ble for the cavity to spread or moisture to enter. 



Since then the trees have stood the most severe storms, and no signs 

 of cracking or opening have appeared. I am a staunch believer in 

 Davey Tree Surgery. Truly yours, 



George W. Barnett, superintendent. 

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

 estate. Davey Tree Surgery is a fulfillment of the maximum expecta- 

 tions of those who love and value trees. A careful examination of 

 your trees will be made by appointment.
