These Pictures 
Tell a Story which 
T hese big trees, through neglect, were so rotted a 
man could stand in the hollow core, yet little showed 
on the outside. 
They were cleaned out, cemented, and now are good for many years to come. 
Are you going to lose a magnificent elm or maple through lack of such care ? 
Why not make your orchard trees, too, a source of profit rather 
than an eyesore ? 
Have us look your trees over, whether it be a dozen or a 
hundred, and tell you what they need and the cost of put - 
ting them in shape. This service will not cost you a cent. 
Let us get to work now so your trees will be a source of 
enjoyment to you this summer. 
All our work is guaranteed and we inspect the work ever^ 
six months without expense to you. 
Send for our Representative or for our FREE 
BOOK—“MAKING GOOD” in TREES 
Explains the care your trees need, how we work, 
and whatwe have done for others and can do foryou.
