JOHN DAVEY 

 Father of Tree Surgery 



YOU have fine trees? Just iinagine how the place would look without them no shade, 

 no beauty, only a barren piece of ground. You probably bought the place because 

 of the trees that it took nature fifty or a hundred years to produce. Then what are 

 the trees worth to you in money value? 

 Those trees are living things. They breathe, digest, food, have a circulation, have sexual 

 processes. Many times they are attacked by disease and decay. Often they suffer and 

 gradually die from lack of food and water. Storms break them, decay follows. They may 

 be injured by careless people or mutilated by untrained workmen. Neglect and ignorant 

 treatment take a terrible toll of America's fine trees. 



An investment in a home probably may depreciate thousands of dollars if certain priceless 

 trees are later lost. Whether you own the place or consider buying it, the thing of first 

 importance is the trees. Before you buy, make sure what their condition is how much 

 attention they require; whether any of those needing attention are beyond_ saving. An 

 examination and report, by tree authorities of absolute reliability, costs very little. 

 Before you plan your home have your trees examined by Davey Tree Surgeons. Do not 

 make the mistake of locating your house or planning the landscape with reference to 

 certain trees unless you are sure they can be saved. This very mistake has been made 

 thousands of times. , . , 



Davey Tree Surgeons are near you if you live between Boston and Kansas City, squads 

 of these Master Tree Surgeons are scattered everywhere in this vast territory. As a rule 

 no carfare is charged. They handle both large and small operations at a standard rate- 

 according to the actual service rendered.
