Expert Tree Work 

 Is Immensely Less 

 Expensive Than 

 Cheap Tree Work 



John Davey 



Father of Tree Surjerjr 



Save \bur Trees 

 With The Services 

 Of The Davey 

 Tree Experts. 



Expert tree work is far less expensive than cheap tree work because experts get to work quickly, climb more rapidly, waste no time in i 

 experiment, carry a complete equipment of necessary tools, and — most important of all — they leave your trees in practically perfect condition, as 

 far as human skill can make them so. Your trees are not butchered nor practiced upon. They are treated by thoroughly trained men who are 

 skilled in the use of John Davey's methods — the same methods which have saved many times ten thousand trees. These men know how, and 



'Know-how" is always less expensive than haphazard experiments and blunders. 



The Davey Tree Experts Alone Are Trained in Tree Surgery 



First of all, the Davey men are selected carefully. They are gentlemen — intelli- 

 gent, earnest, ambitious, and trustworthy. This training has been in the organization 

 which created the science of Tree Surgery and which developed every method of 

 worth. The Davey Institute of Tree Surgery is maintained by the company at very 

 heavy expense for the sole purpose of schooling its men regarding tree life, insect 

 enemies of trees, tree diseases, proper remedies, and — most important of all — the 

 theory and practice of Tree Surgery, which cannot be obtained elsewhere. They are 

 specialists in the treatment of trees. There are no successful imitators. 



THE WARNER BROTHERS COMPANY, Manufacturers of Corsets, Bridgeport, Conn. 



The Davey Tree Expert Company have done work for me both on my place at Augusta, Ga., and Bridgeport. 

 Their treatment of trees is both scientific and sensible and I believe the class of work they are doing will materially 

 prolong the life of trees. 1 am entirely satisfied with what they have done for me and unhesitatingly recommend 

 them to any one who desires similar work done. I should employ them again if I had any work in their line. 



Yours very truly, (Signed) /. De Vere Warner.
