The headline mentions “Mother’s back” but all the text talks about how easy it is for kids to do it.
I had to look up what F.O.B meant. It’s a bit ambiguous but it seems like it means that you have to pay to transport it from the warehouse. Which makes me wonder where that is, because a 200 lb machine is probably pretty expensive to have delivered. Maybe your only choices are the two addresses on the bottom.

It is believed that use of the device would eliminate the numerous cases of headaches, illness and deaths which are attributed to breathing carbon monoxide while motoring in heavy traffic or when warming up an auto engine in a closed garage.
