THERE IS ONLY ONE THING THAT CAN PRODUCE A FINE 

 OLD TREE-AND THAT IS TIME 



TV/TONEY can buy almost anything else gardens, houses, drives, shrubbery. But it 

 cannot buy a full-grown tree, beautiful with that dignity and majesty which 

 comes with age alone. A season can produce a velvety lawn ; a century is often 

 spanned in the creation of a tree. 



Can you, then if you are the possessor of fine old trees afford to take chances with 

 them? The tree is a living, breathing thing, and as such is subject to disease and d^cay. 

 Insect enemies attack it. Structural weaknesses make it, often, the easy victim of 

 storms. The ailing tree, if neglected, will die prematurely just as surely as night 

 follows day. 



Abundant foliage is not necessarily a sign of tree health. Disease and decay work 

 insidiously, and frequently the most dangerous conditions are not evident to the 

 untrained eye. Too often the warning comes too late the tree is gone. 

 What is the real condition of your trees? To find out, come to Headquarters. Davey 

 Tree Surgery is the development of a generation of experience in saving trees around 

 thousands of America's finest homes. It is your guarantee of trustworthy service, 

 because it is backed by an organization of established professional responsibility 

 and financial stability. It treats trees as living organisms, and saves them without 

 guessing or experiment when they can be saved.
