BUSINESS MEN ARE NOT TREE EXPERTS 
nO ONE EXPECTS THEM TO BE 
Most of their time is taken up with industry and commerce—in making and buying and 
selling. They know in a general way the value of the trees—tree value is becoming evident 
to every one. But they too often take it for granted that the trees are attending to their 
own business and thriving, whereas all trees need care, many require treatment. 
Looking After Trees Is The Business 
Oi The Davey Tree Experts 
Tree Surgeons are trained under the direction of John Davey, “Father of Tree Surgery,”’ 
and operate under the scientific system devised by him after years of patient toil among the 
trees and plants. They know the needs of every tree, and are skillful in saving tree life. 
Where trees are diseased or decayed or injured, they treat them successfully and save thou- 
sands that would otherwise die.

Moline, Il]., March 13, 1911. 
I beg to advise you that my trees are looking very good. Some of 
the old elms in the front of my property were beginning to deteriorate. 
I think with the treatment you have given them they will come through 
all right and remain live sentinels for many, many years, shielding 
my residence from too great familiarity of the hot summer suns. 
{ look upon the work with very great satisfaction and am glad every time I look at the trees that they have 
had your scientifically intelligent attention. 
Most sincerely, 
GEO. A. STEPHENS.

A Collection of Ideas and Suggestions for the Practica] 
Man 
VERY practical mechanic, whether amateur or professional, has been con- 
K fronted many times with unexpected situations calling for the exercise 
of considerable ingenuity. The resourceful man who has met an issue of 
this sort successfully seldom, if ever, is adverse to making public his methods of 
procedure. After all, he has little to gain by keeping the matter to himself and, 
appreciating the advice of other practical men in the same line of work, he is only 
too glad to contribute his own suggestions to the general fund of information. 
About a year ago it was decided to open a department in the Scientific Amer- 
ican devoted to the interests of the handy man. There was an almost immediate 
response. Hundreds of valuable suggestions poured in from every part of this 
country and from abroad as well. Not only amateur mechanics, but profes- 
sional men, as well, were eager to recount their experiences in emergencies and 
offer useful bits of information, ingenious ideas, wrinkles or “‘kinks”’ as they 
are called. Aside from these, many valuable contributions came from men in 
other walks of life—resourceful men, who showed their aptness at doing things - 
about the house, in the garden, on the farm. The electrician and the man in 
the physics and chemical laboratory furnished another tributary to the flood 
of ideas. Automobiles, motor cycles, motor boats and the like frequently call 
for a display of ingenuity among a class of men who otherwise would never 
touch a tool. These also contributed a large share of suggestions that poured 
in upon us. It was apparent from the outset that the Handy Man’s Workshop 
Department in the Scientific American would be utterly inadequate for so 
large a volume of material; but rather than reject any really useful ideas for 
lack of space, we have collected the worthier suggestions, which we present in 
the present volume. They have all been classified and arranged in nine 
chapters, under the following headings : 
I., Fitting up-a Workshop ; II., Shop Kinks; III., The Soldering of Metals 
and the Preparation of Solders and Soldering Agents ; IV., The Handy Man in 
the Factory; V., The Handy Man’s Experimental Laboratory ; VI., The Handy 
Man’s Electrical Laboratory ; VII., The Handy Man about the House; VIII., 
The Handy Sportsman ; IX., Model Toy Flying Machines.
