The Beautiful Transformation of 

 an Ugly Skyline Effect 



The principal flaw in the top photograph is 

 the unsightly effect produced by dead branches. 

 Edged against the sky is a ragged, monotonous 

 outline in which there is a minimum of grace, 

 symmetry and beauty. 



Now note the lower photograph — observe 

 what a wonderful transformation has been 

 effected by Davey Tree Surgeons! 



All ugly, dead branches have been removed, 

 and artistic grouping has been achieved by the 

 elimination of certain unimportant trees and 

 bushes. What refreshing variety of outline is 

 now presented, what charm lies in its perfect 

 simplicity! 



Possibly your estate offers similar opportuni- 

 ties for enhanced beauty — perhaps a little ju- 

 dicious artistry can bring out "hidden wonders" 

 of which you are now unconscious. 



BUT — be careful to whom you entrust this 

 important work. Trimming and cutting, in- 

 correctly done, is dangerous. Thousands of 

 trees are lost every year because their owners 

 do not realize the degree of highly expert 

 knowledge and experience this work requires. 

 More than half the decay in trees is directly 

 traceable to improper trimming. 



Take the safe course — 



— and put your trees in the hands of Davey 

 Tree Surgeons. Tree Surgery, as they practice 

 it, is scientifically accurate and mechanically 

 perfect — the result of the life study of John

From Mr. Lisle R. Beardslee, 

 Wilmington, Delaware 



"The work done by your com- 

 pany upon an old tree in my 

 yard is very satisfactory and a 

 remarkable demonstration of 

 what can be accomplished by 

 the scientific methods followed 

 by your concern." 



From Mr. Arthur Heurtley, 

 The Northern Trust Company, 

 Chicago, III. 



"The work done on my trees 

 by your foreman and his asso- 

 ciates has been very satisfac- 

 tory, so much so that we have 

 been at considerable pains to 

 canvass the neighborhood so as 

 to give the boys some extra work 

 while in the vicinity." 



From Mr. Wm. R. Kenan, Jr., 

 Lockport, N. Y. 



"Some twelve or fourteen 

 years ago while visiting at my 

 sister's summer home at Ma- 

 maroneck, N. Y. t I saw your 

 father with a very large corps 

 doing tree surgery on that place. 

 It impressed me so forcibly 

 and, in later years the results 

 were so convincing that, upon 

 the purchase of this place, I 

 concluded to have your com- 

 pany do such work as was nec- 

 essary here. The work has been 

 entirely satisfactory."
