W HAT is the money value of your fine big trees? No ordinary amount 
would tempt you to part with them. Were it necessary, you would 
gladly pay any reasonable sum to replace them—if this could be done. 
They are highly valuable of themselves. Locating your house among 
them and building your estate around them automatically multiplies their 
value. Of course, you cannot afford to lose them. Therefore, of course, 
you cannot afford to neglect them. 
Pray, then, do not wait until disease and decay have made the saving of 
some priceless tree or trees impossible. Disease causes decay, and disease, 
once it starts, can be checked only by the skill of the real Tree Surgeon. 
It works incessantly—progressively—while the leaves are still green and 
the outward appearance of health does not yet tell the story of premature 
destruction. 
For the treatment of your priceless trees, you will want Tree Surgeons 
of demonstrated skill and established responsibility, whose very record 
warrants your full faith. Davey Tree Surgeons have back of them many 
years of public service, methods of proved value, thorough training, and 
an organization of recognized stability. These master Tree Surgeons, 
who have satisfied the most exacting clientele in America, will fulfill your 
highest expectations of both finished skill and honest service. A careful 
examination of your trees will be made by appointment.
