Your Company, Your Bulletin
T
he Davey
Company is
about you.
And, as such,
The Bulletin features
stories that focus on
you: your projects,
your jobs, your
passions, your
community service
and your important work with trees and land-
scapes. You are the stars of this publication.
The articles here are meant to inspire
and empower you.
This has been the core of The Bulletin since
its beginning in 1910, when it was called The
Davey Tree Surgeon's Bulletin. Back then, in that
first issue, the editor wrote it was the company's
"sincere desire to help YOU—to boost your
value. In other words, it is our belief that your
greater success means our greater success."
Your Davey stories—back then and today—
are vital to each Bulletin. They share Davey
successes and speak to the continued future
growth of the company. Your work with trees
adds to the value of each community in which
you live and work.
In this spirit of sharing Davey experiences,
the time felt right to bring "Davey" back to The
Bulletin. Our employee storybook is evolving to
better illustrate the passion employees have for
Davey, as well as mimic industry change, com-
pany growth and service reach. With this issue,
you'll notice our new cover and logo: MyDavey:
The Bulletin for Davey Employees.
As in the beginning and in every issue,
The Bulletin is all about you.
Feel free to continue to
share your Davey
experiences with us at
bulletin@davey.com.

Did You Know?
I
t was nearly 104 years ago when Editor
L.G. Vair first distributed The Davey Tree
Surgeon's Bulletin to all 44 employees of the
young Davey Tree Expert Company.
Today, MyDavey: The Bulletin for Davey
Employees reaches approximately 8,000 people
once every two months.
Very similar to the stories past employees
have shared with The Bulletin editors through
the years—such as Wesley Hollister, responsible
for the original name change to The Bulletin in
1916—we love to record your stories.
Although the methods in which you share
your stories, such as email and social media,
have expanded, your ideas still contribute to
the history of the company.
The Bulletin is one of the oldest employee
publications—something to be proud of. But
the story doesn't end here. As we continue to
write it, we'll always remember where it
began—rooted in that
first 5-by-8-inch,
16-page, weekly
publication
released
on Feb. 19,
1910.
Times have changed. But our story stays the same.
The Bulletin turns 104 this year.
