The Tip is 'Where They're Proud' I recently saw an ad in our local newspaper for a big box home improvement store. Their newspaper ad had USA made products and American flags all over it. Several weeks later, I checked the ad again and sure enough they were still advertising their American made products. It was obvious they are proud to carry products Made in America. Their competitors made no mention of things Made in America. I have been to this store and asked what products are made in the USA? A clerk told me they primarily carry imports. Obviously they are not proud. I now realize you can buy many Made in the USA building supplies, including tools Made in USA and appliances Made in USA., in stores that are proud to carry brands Made in the USA. Here is another example of a store proudly carrying products Made in the USA. I was shopping for men's shoes in a local department store when I tried on three different pairs of shoes. I couldn't decide which pair I wanted so I went out on a limb and asked the clerk, "Are these shoes imports?" The salesman said "yes they are" so I asked, "Do you have any Made in America shoes like these?". To my surprise he said, with GREAT PRIDE, "yes sir, we have a whole line of Made In USA shoes". He brought me the same color and style with the Made in USA label. These Made in America shoes were less expensive, came with a better warranty, and were more comfortable. Looking for companies that are PROUD is simple and can have a great impact on our country. I encourage you to try this some time- just ask. You will love it when you realize you are making a difference that all of us will benefit from. With your help America will be ours again and that is a good thing. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by A2M USA A2M USA? combines the sophistication and subtlety of European designer clothing with the casual hipness of America. All of our A2M brand clothing is made in the U.S.A. with the best quality fabrics and workmanship. We knew our designs were great, but having our clothing manufactured halfway around the world was not giving us the quality we demanded. That's when we moved our entire operation from Europe to America. Now we have all of our suppliers and manufacturing in L.A., New York and San Francisco, where we can maintain tight control over the quality of our product, and that makes all the difference. Out of Africa, Into Europe, Back in the U.S.A. A2M USA? was founded by an African-born German entrepreneur with a genius for merging the diverse fashions of Europe, Africa and America to create a unique line of streetwear for young guys and girls. Felix Echipue made a name for himself in Europe with a Euro-African take on an American look. The youth of Europe went crazy for the stuff, and now he's brought his styles to America, where they feel right at home. Felix was one of 8 kids, a product of a loving family from a small village in West Africa. At an early age he discovered in himself a love for fashion and an eye for uniqueness. Deciding to expand his knowledge of people and fashion he relocated to Germany, where he became fascinated with the styles of Europe. In 1997 he founded a small clothing boutique in Munich, where he created a new brand that merged African and European influences. Blowing Up Before long the one store turned into five, and Felix was traveling to the capitals of Europe and the world, building relationships in the fashion world and acquiring new accounts for his apparel line. This was the late ?90s, and hip hop styles were extremely popular in Europe. Felix partnered with Johnny Blaze Clothing, rap star Snoop Dogg to form the Snoop Dogg Clothing line in Germany and later brought rap mega-millionaire Master P over to Europe to start his brand of original hip hop styles, Respect. What's in a Name? In 2012, after 20 years of success with American styles in Europe, Felix and his team of talented young designers created an all-new line of cool and youthful streetwear, all made right here in the U.S.A., designed with the kids of America in mind. A2M USA? is a gift from Felix to his children, Angel, Melody and Miracle, who inspired the youthful spirit of his designs. It's his way of passing on what his parents instilled in him: to value life, strive for the best and never give up. We welcome you to be a part of the A2M USA? family and LIVE FREE! |
