 Prices

Our prices are graded in such a manner as to make it possible for any one to secure one of these reliable limbs, and are governed entirely by the quality of the work and the time for which the limb is warranted, and bear an exact proportion to the cost of production and the probable cost of repairs during the term of the warranty. We have plans, which we will be very glad to explain to any who desire to know about them, whereby these limbs may be obtained without the expenditure of any money whatever. Simply the giving of a little time and persistent work. Scores have earned limbs in this way.

Remittances

Should be made by express, post office or express money order, registered letter, or New York draft, whichever is most convenient for the sender.

Terms

It is our custom, as it is with all makers of special appliances of this kind, to require in each case a cash deposit as a guarantee of good faith. When the purchaser is present at the factory for the purpose of having a limb fitted, the limb may be tried in the rough before making any payment; if the fit and trial are satisfactory, one-half the price will be required. When limbs are made from measurements, without the presence of the patient at the factory, one-half the price of the limb ordered should accompany the order. In both cases when the limb is finished it will be delivered by express C.O.D. with the privilege of examination and trial before making the final payment.

A careful consideration of the following facts should convince any fair-minded person that this plan is not only reasonable and just but very necessary.
