Davey Tree Ad 1959

[scotspine1]

This is an ad from the US company Davey from 1959, just goes to show they were miles ahead of Europe when it came to urban tree care. In fact you probably wouldn't even see an ad like this today in the UK.

Here's another US ad, this time for a charity, from 1919, asking families to buy trees to plant in honour of their men lost in the First World War.

So...where were we, here's a pic from the 40s/50s of treeworkers in the US dismantling a huge tree using a two man cross-cut saw. Pic courtesy of Robert Philips.

 

One of my favourite tree pics this.

I believe we owe a huge debt of gratitude to the early American pioneers of tree work. Pic courtesy of Robert Philips.
