A scientist's answer 



A letter from Dr. H. D. House, New York State Botanist 

 and formerly professor in the Biltmore Forestry School 



MR. M. L. DAVEY. General Manager. 



Davey Tree Expert Company, Kent, Ohio. 

 Dear Mr. Davey: 



I believe that 1 owe you many thanks for the opportunity which 1 have had just recently 

 of seeing the Davey organization in convention at Kent. 



I was deeply impressed by the mutual determination of your men to accomplish perfect 

 work and to place quality above all other considerations. This, and the trained ability and co- 

 operation of your men, is doing much to restore that confidence in the profession of tree surgery 

 which has been greatly injured by poorly trained and unscrupulous workers. After an inspec- 

 tion of work accomplished by your men and a study of their methods, I am convinced that their 

 work measures up to the highest degree of efficiency which training and experience can produce. 

 I believe that owners of trees may expect service of the most reliable character from your men. 



Very truly yours, 



H. D. HOUSE, State Botanist, 



Write for Free Examination of Your Trees 



— and booklet, "When Your Trees Need the Tree 

 Surgeon." What is the real condition of your 

 trees? Are insidious diseases and hidden decay 

 slowly undermining their strength? Will the next 

 severe storm claim one or more as its victims? 



Only the experienced Tree Surgeon can tell you 

 fully and definitely. Without cost or obligation to 

 you, a Davey Tree Sur^feon will visit your place 

 and render an honest verdict regarding their con- 

 dition and needs. Write today.
