Davey Tree 
Surgery is safe 
All decay removed, cavity disinfected and zuaterproofed, 
mechanical bracing installed. 
It is scientifically accurate and mechanically perfect. 
Your trees, many of them the product of several generations, 
are priceless. Once lost, they cannot be restored in your life¬ 
time or that of your children. 
To whom shall you entrust them? There can be only one 
answer, for there is only one safe place to go—to Davey Tree 
Surgeons. 
This is Davey Tree Surgery. It is scientifically accurate and 
mechanically perfect. The sectional filling permits 
swaying without cracking. 
Safe —because Davey Tree Surgery is time-proved; its 
record of successful performance for thousands of 
estate owners spans a generation. 
Safe —because no Davey Tree Surgeon is allowed any 
responsibility until he has conclusively demonstrated his 
fitness. He must have served his full course of thor¬ 
ough practical training and scientific study in the Davey 
Institute of Tree Surgery—a school, the only one of its 
kind in the world, which we conduct for the specific 
purpose of drilling our men according to Davey methods 
and Davey ideals. 
Safe —because we who know values in Tree Surgery 
and who demand and deliver the best, select the man 
to whom the treatment of your priceless trees is to be 
entrusted. 
Safe —because Davey Tree Surgery has been endorsed 
as best by the United States Government after an ex¬ 
haustive official investigation. 
Safe —because Davey Tree Surgery is recommended 
by thousands of prominent men and women, whose en¬ 
dorsement you can accept with complete confidence. 
(Several such endorsements appear on the left.) 
Safe —because Davey Tree Surgeons are picked men, 
thoroughly trained, conscientious, intelligent, cour¬ 
teous, in love with their work. “Men,” writes Dr. H. 
D. House, New York State Botanist and formerly pro¬ 
fessor in Biltmore Forestry School, “who would do 
honor to any institution of learning in America.” 
Safe —because the Davey Company is a successful and 
responsible house, amply able to make good in every 
instance, and not needing, for the sake of temporary 
existence, to sacrifice in the slightest degree its high 
standards. 
Tree “patching” cannot save your trees. Only scien¬ 
tific, mechanically perfect treatment by men trained 
through years to the point of finished skill can be per¬ 
manently successful. And for such treatment by such 
men there is only one safe place to go—to Davey Tree 
Surgeons.
