Become a more informed Made in the USA shopper by reading our buying tips
The Tip is 'Labeling Tip 1'

Know Your Labeling - For products Made in America, the greater the US content the more American jobs required to produce it. So whenever possible choose the product with the highest percentage of U.S.content. US content must be disclosedon Made in USA textiles, automobiles, wool, and fur products. There is no law requiringmost other products to be marked or labeled made in USA, or, have any otherdisclosure about their amount of U.S. content.

Those manufacturers and marketers who choose to make claims about the amount of U.S. content must comply with the FTC's Made in USA policy. Note: Imported products must have the country of origin on their label whileproducts partially Made in USA do not. For a product produced in the U.S. to be labeled made in USA, or claimed to beof domestic origin without qualifications or limits on the claim, the product must be all or virtually all made in the U.S.

This would mean that all significant parts and processing that go into the product are of U.S. origin. The product should contain no (or negligible) foreign content. Made in the USA products create the greatest number of American jobs for our country. This is because the labor to produce the product, and the raw materials that go into the product, are created with American labor. For most products, there is no law requiring made in America labels, or any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on the label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. The product without the country origin on its label has some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not.

In 1946, Donald B. Johnson and Warren Thomas opened the doors of Thomas & Johnson Scale Service in Rice Lake, Wisconsin, where there was a growing demand for scale service from creameries and cheese processing enterprises. Their founding principal remains the same today: Take care of the customer and the rest of the business will take care of itself.

1950s
In the late 1950s, scale dealers were in dire need of scale repair parts. Donald B. fostered the idea of refinishing old pivots and bearings so customers would not have to wait for new parts to be manufactured. He purchased a large quantity of WWII ammunition boxes and sent them to people he met at national scale conferences, offering to refinish any scale parts sent back in the ammunition boxes for fifty cents apiece. They were guaranteed a two- to three-day turnaround. Soon, word of this new approach to solving the parts shortage problem spread throughout the country.

1960s
Thomas & Johnson published their first Pivot & Bearing Catalog displaying eighteen sizes of pivots and bearings and advertising a 35 percent savings compared to the same parts offered by the original manufacturer.

Donald B. opened his first National Conference hospitality suite. He welcomed everyone to the suite and treated them to Wisconsin cheese and sausage. Donald B.'s hospitality suite became a tradition at the National Conference and continues to be a welcoming destination today.

1970s
In 1971 Thomas & Johnson Scale Service became Rice Lake Bearing, Inc.

In the mid 1970s, Donald B. saw that the United States was considering conversion to all metric measurements and realized his scale distributors would need new metric counterpoise weights. Always staying ahead of the curve, he began including test weights in the company repertoire. With an advanced metrology lab and expertise in the field, the company became a major supplier of precision test weights and recalibration.

1980s
In 1981, Donald B. and his son, Mark Johnson, Sr., became the sole owners of Rice Lake Bearing.

During the 1980's, the Johnsons built on their company's position as a parts supplier to the weighing industry by including electronic parts and components in their catalog. They felt the same commitment made to the mechanical scale business should be made to the electronic scale industry. Service, selection and speed became a slogan the entire industry welcomed and depended on critical parts and components. In 1986, Rice Lake Bearing became Rice Lake Weighing Systems and strong application and engineering support set the bar for the entire industry.

1990s
Rice Lake Weighing Systems became a world leader in weight related technology serving a wide spectrum of industries, Bulk Construction Materials, Chemical, Food & Beverage Processing, Timber, Pulp & Paper, Manufacturing, Packaging & Material Handling, Pharmaceuticals, Retail, Supply Chain Management, Transport & Logistics, Utilities & Waste. Rice Lake products and technology covered applications from basic weighing and data collection to on-line scale diagnostics and real-time monitoring, from recipe formulation to traceability systems, from truck management to inventory management, and beyond.

In 1996, Donald B. was awarded the prestigious Woody Woodland Memorial Award for his contribution to the scale industry.

2000
Rice Lake now offers over 35,000 weighing, control, data collection and communication products with over 1,000,000 items in stock and available for same- or next-day delivery.
