A Brief History of the Adjust-A-Lift Heel Lift
On January 31, 1982 the Church that I attended voted to build a new sanctuary. I was at the service and simply said a short prayer to be shown a way to make more money so I would be able to significantly contribute to the financial obligation involved in the construction of the building. At that time I was a medical supply salesman and THE NEXT DAY I called on a Doctor who told me that he didn't like anything that I had but if I could get him a good heel lift he would be interested. In not more then ten minutes he told me everything that I needed to get started. Mainly that all the heel lifts on the market came in too many sizes, were uncomfortable to wear, broke down too quickly, or slipped in the shoe. If I could overcome these problems he would be interested.
The next step was to visit with a friend of mine who was in the Orthotic Prosthetic field. I told him the idea and he said "oh yea I can make that". He then made the first one literally from scrapes on the floor. During the next several months I learned how to sell them, and he learned more about how to make them.
To make a long story very short about a year later I was able to buy his share of the business and have been enjoying it ever since.
I was able to make some significant contributions to the Church building and later another addition was added.
