Trees require occasional expert attention to keep them in 

 healthy condition. Often times trees that appear sound are slowly 

 dying. They may topple over any time, causing property loss, if not 

 loss of life. Protect yourself by having your trees examined at once. 



DAVEY TREE EXPERTS 



DO 



this work, when requested, without cost. The charge of afterwards treating 

 diseased trees in many cases is no more than the cost of carting dead trees 

 away. Don't let any man touch your trees unless he shows you credentials 

 proving him qualified to perform the work. All graduates of the Davey Insti- 

 tute of Tree Surgery carry such testimony, and are employed by the Davey 

 Tree Expert Co. WE NEVER LET GOOD MEN GO. If you are the owner 

 of trees they are worth saving. Write to-day and arrange for a free examination.

are better than paint. They protect the 

 shingles with preservative, waterproofing oils, yet 

 retain the natural texture and beauty of the wood. 

 The pure English ground colors cannot fade.

 Dipping the

 prevents this.
