 Dear Mr. Davey: 



Please accept 

 my sine e r e 

 tliaiik.s lor your 

 most illuminat- 

 iiiK' letter ot Oc- 

 tober ;;r(l. 



Vour story, in- 

 teri'StiiiK ill it- 

 yell", is^ UMi.st ad- 

 m i r a lj|^^ told, 

 tlHiiij;h m it.s 

 tulliiiK it appears 

 to me tliat you 

 liave failed to 

 mention tlie one 

 element willioiil 

 wiiich tlio "iier- 

 tei'ted inethods. 

 hinli type' nun 

 and orKaniz.-itiun 

 ideal" would not 

 have conie into 

 beiny. Tiiat -un- 

 named element 

 I suspeet to liave 

 bieii Davey, who 

 1 i r s t conceived 

 the idea, tiien 

 determined the 

 m c t li o il s and 

 later lound and 

 iMs))ired w i t h 

 some part ot liis 

 own enthusiasm 

 the men who are 

 actually carrying 

 out tile work. 



Shortly after 

 rtM'eivlnfj y o ii r 

 letter 1 re-.ul it to 

 the depart inent 

 li t- a <1 H of the 

 (.eneral Itailway 



I'lB. 1. — Sec the imn band 

 .-iiinind the truid<. Tlie tree 

 \va.s splitliiifT apart and a "tree 

 liatfdier" tried to save it. Tem- 

 porarily it i)r(n-<'nted a catas- 

 troph(>, l>ut the band was straii- 

 Klincr the bark. .\nd the real 

 troiibl.', which was the deciy 

 on till' inside, had received no 

 attention whateviM- and the 

 condition was srowing rapidly 

 worse. 



I'ijj. 2. — Davey Tree Purpeons 

 pot at the real trouble. They 

 lirst tied tlie ijranclies to- 

 gether with rope.s to prevent 

 accident wliile operatintr. Tho 

 decay was removed to the Ijjst 

 particle, tlie inside ot' the cav- 

 ity was thoiduf^hly sterilizid 

 ami wa terproolcd. 'i"ho in(>- 

 elianical bracing <■ m p 1 o y e d 

 demonstrates the finished skill 

 and complete mastery of Davey 

 Tree Surgeons. 



I'ifir. 3. — The filling of a 

 crotih cavity is probably the 

 most trying task confronted by 

 a 'J'ree Surgeon. The tilling is 

 sub.lected to tremendous 

 twisting and strain; it must 

 not only be htdd firmly in 

 place bv the nmst expert me- 

 chanical bracing, t)ut it must 

 also allow for the normal 

 sway of the tree. The sec- 

 tional filling method aids won- 

 dorlully in this accomplish- 

 ment, but ''orreet mechanical 

 bracing is ultra-imiiortant.
