The Tip is 'Don't procrastinate' For years I've been buying ink jet cartridges from a big box office supply store. These cartridges were made overseas and labeled with the well-known brand of a large American printer company. One I remembered a local store that advertised quality cartridges. I had traveled by this local store hundreds of times but never stopped. This time I stopped at the local store. To my surprise I discovered that they carried the cartridge I needed and it was a Made in USA cartridge. Made in Chicago, to be precise, and it was half the price of the imported ones I had been buying for years. The quality is exceptional and they last longer too. Who knew? After that experience, I make a point to stop at every store I can. By doing so, I've been finding more and more Made in America products. Occasionally the clerks don't know the country of origin; this can be discouraging but finding the origin information yourself isn't difficult I've come to realize. Believe it not, there are actually a number of computers made in the US including laptops made in the USA. When the label is not visibly displayed I use the other Made in America buying tips to help me find Made in US. If the store doesn't carry what you are looking for, use Made in America Secrets to find it and tell the manager about your experience at their store. If enough people are asking for Made in America products stores will begin to carry them. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by SAS It's more than just a shoe store. Everyone has heard the old adage You get out what you put in. Terry Armstrong and Lew Hayden took that adage to heart when they started San Antonio Shoemakers (SAS) back in the 1970s. They put in superb craftsmanship. They put in a passion for perfection and pride of ownership. And, most importantly, they put in unwavering commitment to their vision. That vision was simple. To make the most comfortable, high-quality leather shoes around. As a result of all that our founders put in, what has come out is nearly 40 years of American ingenuity. What started in an old airport hangar on the south side of San Antonio has grown into an international brand. Today and every day we stay true to our founders' vision, proudly handcrafting comfortable and high-quality leather shoes in the USA. Although SAS has grown to be sold around the world, each new pair is treated the same way it was the day we opened our doors for business ? as if it's the only pair we make. |
