GORDON JOHN DAVEY Father of Tree Surgery Reg. U. S. Pat. Off. The D. T. E. Co., Inc., 1925 500 Davey Tree Surgeons-all regular Davey employes-none obtainable elsewhere THE only thing that the Davey Company has to sell is the service of expert and reliable Tree Surgeons, whom it has carefully selected, thoroughly trained, and properly schooled. There are no Davey Tree Surgeons except the regular employes of the Davey Company-500 in number. The selection of these men is an exhaustive process in itself. No men are admitted, no matter how pressing the demand, except those of the right type Unsatisfactory men are eliminated as quickly as discovered. Consequently Davey Tree Surgeons are uniformly intelligent, industrious, painstaking, and of high personal integrity. Every man is trained before he is permitted to enter the field force of the Davey Company. This training is never done on the trees or at the expense of the client. The Davey officials, who know Tree Surgery values, guarantee the ability and the reliability of the experts whom they send to treat your priceless trees. The Davey Institute of Tree Surgery is maintained at a cost of nearly $50,000 per year, to give scientific training to regular employes. It is open only to men already in the Davey organization; and all expenses are paid by the Company-in order that the service which you buy may be scientifically accurate and mechanically perfect. No other professional service costs so little as Davey Tree Surgery. There is no place where you can buy so much service per dollar. Large-scale operation ($1,250,000.00 in 1924), plus this careful selection and training, plus proper discipline, make Davey Service so reasonable in cost. Davey Tree Surgeons are local to you-anywhere between Boston and Kansas City, between Canada and the Gulf. Write or wire Kent, Ohio.
