The tribute of Thomas Qriffin 



to Davey Tree Surgery 



lUli. 







View of Harry Payne Whitney estate at Old Westbury, 

 L. I. — Thomas Griffin, Superintendent 



The Davey Tree Expert Co., j ,! ^ - • ' '. 



Kent, Ohio 



Gentlemen: Your request concerning conditions of the large trees 

 treated on Mr. Whitney's estate I gladly accede to. 

 Considering the bad condition you discovered after you had started 

 vi^ith the big ash, I certainly think you made a wonderfully good job 

 of it. The same must be said of all the others you treated, for they 

 are now looking well and the bark is healing nicely over the cavities. 



I think it is a splendid achievement in Tree Surgery and gives you 

 great credit. While watching the work of your men, I noticed how 

 very careful they were, even to the smallest detail, and feel convinced 

 that to insure success to such important work you must have a force 

 of well-trained men who thoroughly understand their business. 



Wishing you the success you deserve, 



Very truly yours, 

 THOMAS GRIFFIN, Superintendent. 



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

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

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

 your trees will be made by appointment.

The first severe storm would 

 doubtless have destroyed this 

 zaluable old ash. But Davey 

 Tree Surgeons were called in 

 time. They removed the de- 

 cay, disinfected and water- 

 proofed the cavity, braced the 

 sides, and filled the interior 

 with concrete by the sectional 

 method, which allows for 

 swaying and presents crack-
