The Making of a Man: Being a Description of Artificial Limbs and How They May Be Adopted by Those Who Have Suffered Loss of Their Natural Limbs
In consideration of the sum of __ dollars, received from ______
of ______ for an artificial leg, we hereby warrant the same,
as follows: In case any part of said leg should, on account of
poor material or bad workmanship, break or give way within __
years from the date hereof, we agree to repair the same without
charge, provided that, as soon as any defect is discovered, the
leg, or any part thereof that needs to be repaired or replaced,
be forwarded to us without delay, and at the expense of the
owner. It is not the intention of this warranty to make good
without charge the unavoidable wear of the leg, or breakage
caused by accident, neglect or misuse.
_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.
