The Tip is 'Made In America Secrets' We needed some new towels recently and I remembered coming across your website. I thought I would give it a quick search to see if there were any Made in America towels sold nearby. It just so happened that when I did the search, I found there was a nearby reseller listed who carried the particular Made in the USA towels I wanted. We bought the towels and, not surprisingly, they are both more absorbent and better looking than I thought. Made in America Secrets has thousands of products made in America offered by hundreds of small manufacturers. These small companies are a big contributor to our economy. According to one study small businesses (those employing 1 to 99 employees) comprise 98% of all the USA businesses. That's equivalent to 5.8 million businesses employing over 40 million people. Most American's are unaware of how significant small business is when compared to the total size of the US economy. This website is aware of it and that is why 99% of the businesses that advertise on Made in America Secrets are small businesses. I now use this site to search for small companies especially since more than likely it is a small company that employs someone I know- my wife, my children, my friends. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Ancesserie Ancesserie is Old French for ancestry. As a child growing up in Edgefield, SC, my mother would bring freshly-inked calling cards as her gift to a friend's birthday party. Fresh off her father's printing press at The Edgefield Advertiser, these cards were a unique gift and also an expression of one family's role as journalists, documenting and celebrating life in their community. Calling cards are a long-held tradition dating back to the Victorian Era when visitors left a card to indicate they had called or stopped by. Today, including personalized cards with your gifts is as much about creativity as formality - especially for birthday, wedding, shower and graduation gifts. Letterpress is the earliest form of printing. Ancesserie's line of stationery is all handcrafted using late 19th and early 20th century letterpress type and engravings belonging to the longest running newspaper in South Carolina, one that has been in my family for four generations! These images tell a story of when time stood still. We have also expanded our treasure trove of artwork to include period engravings, embellished to suit Ancesserie's style, and collaborations with talented artists. We believe you will find our letterpress to be a world apart, one that is historical, understated, luxurious, timeless and, quite simply, beautiful. Each piece is thoughtfully designed using the finest selection of papers available that are both eco-friendly and ideal for letterpress. We print one piece at a time, with foot, pedal, muscle and determination to bring you the very best in quality and craftsmanship. Our presses are the same style presses my Ancestors used in the late 1800's. As is the nature of letterpress, each impression will have its own unique variation of ink coverage and depth of impression, creating a rich, exquisite note equally wonderful to the touch. As I excavate, there is so much beauty to celebrate. Lydia |
