Truss Advice.

We advise an Elastic Belt Truss because it wears longer than the spring truss, fits better and is far more comfortable We have had a long personal experi- ence with all styles of trusses. Throw your old spring truss away and get one of our Elastic Belt Trusses. We can fit you. Double and single at moderate prices. ..
