ORIENTAL RUG 
COLLECTORS AMAZED 
An expert from Boston marked for himself the 
best rugs in the Syracuse show, and 60% of 
these were from my customers who showed 53 
thick antiques of the 138 rugs there, and in¬ 
sured them above cost. Collectors from New 
York, Boston, and ten other cities loaned rugs; 
there were also plate rugs from rug-books. 
Visiting exhibitors, not my customers, at once 
became my customers. The reason is obvious. 
If you arc interested in only the Best of Thick 
and Glowing Antiques, write today for mono¬ 
graph on Rugs and for descriptive list. 
All express prepaid. Rugs sent on approval.

This splend d oak stands on the estate of the late 
Julius E. French, at W ckhffe, O. It was entirely hoi 
low at the base, because of the decay of several years. 
It was phys cally weak and growing weaker. With¬ 
in a short time a heavy wind would surely have 
blown it over. It was treated by the Davey Tree 
Experts and has been saved. 
The picture shown above was taken four years after 
treatment, and shows a wonderful growth of new 
bark over the filling. The new bark is seen inside 
the white spots. 
This tree is a living monument to the science of Tree 
Surgery, originated and developed by John Davey, 
and to the skill of the Davey Tree Experts. Your 
trees can be saved by the Davey Experts also. 
Let a Davey Tree Expert 
Examine Your Trees Now. 
Sometimes decay can be seen from the outside— 
Somet mes it can't. Hidden decay is often just as 
dangerous as that exposed to view. Sometimes a 
tree owner realizes the condition and needs of his 
trees—Sometimes he don't. More often he don’t 
Generally it’s a revelation. 
In most cases they sav "I wouldn’t have believed that 
trees needed such treatment, nor that such things 
could be done with trees as you have done.” 
Cavities, if not properly treated, continue to decay 
and destroy the trees. Outward appearances do nor 
always indicate the extent of the cavity, nor the con¬ 
dition of decay. Our EXPERT examination will 
reveal exact conditions. 
We will gladly have one of our Experts examine your 
trees, without charge, and report on their etfact 
condition. If your trees need no treatment you want 
to know it; if they do need treatment you ought to 
know it. Write for booklet “E.”
