THE CAREFREE WAY TO
CLIMB STAIRS
When you're disabled, or just not able to move around as
freely as you once could, stairs can be a real problem.
But there is a simple answer. The powered stairway lift.
Easily installed to fit curved or straight stairs. They give
you back the ability to move around your own home.
Folds back-gets in nobody's way.

Stairway Lift!
It takes me
up
and down the
stairs with the
push of a but-
ton. Call for
details!
