Harvy Surgical Supply Corporation is a fifth generation family owned business that has grown over the past
107 years to be the largest manufacturer of walking canes in North America . Thier factory is located in
Flushing , NY and they bend thousands of walking canes every day.
It all started with Abraham Levy who was a silversmith in London , England where he catered to royalty. He
would take up to one week or more to hand craft each specially ordered walking cane.
He had one son Harry who was six months old when they came to America in 1882. Harry Levy followed
his father's footsteps and began making umbrella handles for ten cents each. He soon found that by making
the umbrella handles 30” longer he could sell them as walking canes for forty cents each. He needed the
extra money to feed his eight children.
Five of Harry's sons guided the business through the depression years, and into the industrial age. They
changed the name from Harry Levy Co. in 1964 to Harvy Surgical Supply by taking the HAR from Harry
and the VY from Levy, keeping intact the firm foundation the Levy men had formed in generations past.
Harry's sons later added a full line of medical products including crutches, walkers, wheelchairs and patient
aids.
Harry Levy had one daughter and today it is her son, Harvey Murtha, who leads the fourth generation.
Harvey has added designer canes to the line and imported specialty canes from Europe and around the
world. Today, Harvy Surgical Supply Corp. is known for its quality products, excellent customer service
and prompt fulfillment. As a manufacturer they are very responsive to our customers' needs and are fortunate
to have a very loyal following.
Harvy Surgical Supply is lucky to have Harvey's two sons, Paul and Scott in the business today. They are
the fifth generation and they are taking the business into the computer age.To Return to The Main Home
