CARE AND FEEDING OF THE LONG WHITE CANE: Sources of Canes

(back) (contents)
Sources of Canes

In many cities there are organizations which sell white canes that you may

examine before you buy. The following nine organizations sell canes through

mail order catalogs. When you compare the catalogs, you will find that even

in this short list some of the equipment comes from common sources. Most of

these organizations sell a wide variety of items besides canes, but this booklet

is concerned only with canes and related equipment. Each catalog has more detail

than this summary. You should neither order from this summary nor consider it

an endorsement.
