ASSUMING that you are an average tree-owner, you have neither the time nor the desire to 
study in detail the technique and science of saving trees. You have no means of knowing 
Tree Surgery values, either in correct methods or reliable men. Therefore you must buy Tree 
Surgery service on faith. 
Twenty-two years ago John Davey published his first book. “The Tree Doctor.” Then began 
the slow and conscientious building of the Davey organization. In those early years the busi¬ 
ness was measured in hundreds and thousands of dollars. In 1922 the business amount ed to one 
million dollars. During the past twenty years more than eighteen thousand clients have been 
served—more than four hundred thousand trees have been treated and saved. During the same 
period, many tree men have sprung up, lasted for awhile and disappeared. The Davey organiza¬ 
tion is the only concern that, has endured and grown steadily and proven its inbred merit. The 
law of cause and effect makes this success significant. 
The Davey organization is the one safe place to go. You do not need to know anything about 
trees or Tree Surgery values. Every Davey Tree Surgeon operates according to fixed high 
standards and under strict discipline—you could not hire or persuade him to give anything but 
standard Davey Service.

Every real Davey Tree Surgeon is in the employ of The Davey Tree Expert Co., Inc., and the public is cautioned against those 
falsely representing themselves. An agreement made with the Davey Company and not with an individual is certain evidence 
of genuineness. Protect yourself from impostors. If anyone solicits the care of your trees who is not directly in our employ, 
and. claims to be a Davey man, write headquarters for his record. Save yourself from loss and your trees from harm
