Preston Pharmacy and Home Medical Announces Expanded Line of Canes in their E-Store and Retail Location
Jacksonville,FL (PRWEB) May 20, 2014 -- Years ago, the walking stick originated as an aid for shepherds during travel. It helped with stability, protection against thieves and kept herds in line. Later on it became a symbol of nobility as kings and king’s men carried ornate staffs varying from three to six feet in length. By the middle age’s it grew to represent noble power and justice as well as was used by religious officials to symbolize their role in the church.
The use of the word cane for a walking stick began in the 16th century, when bamboo and reeds began to be used as shafts. There was a strict distinction between sticks and canes depending on the materials used. Sticks were made of ivory, whalebone, ebony and other valuable woods while canes were made from Malacca or rattan, bamboo and other hardy reeds. A quality cane signified great wealth and social status of an individual. Currently, canes have been used in the United States from everything from fashion statements to a necessary aid for visually impaired individuals.
Preston Pharmacy and Home Medical is pleased to announce the expansion of their line of canes in their e-store.
