T hose fine old trees, those towering monarchs that stand vigil over 
your estate^—how have they withstood the winter ? The howling blasts 
have rocked their stalwart trunks, tons of ice and snow have dragged down 
their sturdy limbs—only the physically perfect ones have a chance to 
escape serious injury, and some of them are harmed. Perhaps some of your 
trees—trees that you have learned to love, trees that are an integral part 
of your landscape—have been branded with premature death. Bravely 
they will put forth buds and tiny leaves, will simulate the appearance of 
health and strength—and yet be suffering from fatal injuries both visible 
and invisible. Last winter’s tearing winds may have weakened their struc¬ 
tures, internal decay may be at work—and yet you may remain unsuspect¬ 
ing until some later storm sends them crashing to the earth. 
Only the skilled Tree Surgeon, the seasoned practitioner who knows the anatomy 
of the tree and its troubles as the physician knows the human body, can be sure. 
The demonstrated skill and established responsibility of Davey Tree Surgeons is 
your safeguard. Their years of wide public service, their methods of proved 
value, their thorough training in an organization of recognized stability, will fulfill 
your highest expectations. They have satisfied the most exacting clientele in 
America. A careful examination of your trees wilt be made by appointment.
