The Tip is 'Ask manufacturers' Some times I have run across an advertisement that implied a product was Made in USA but the product did not have the Made in USA label. Before I buy or put the product on my Made in USA list, I email the manufacturer and ask if their product is Made in USA. If they say yes I ask why their product is not labeled that way. Seldom will they tell me why but many times they will tell me every component that is Made in the USA and those that are not. I then make my decision about buying their product and put it on my list if they convince me. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Daystar Apparel Inc. DayStar began business in 1998. Scott Hall, founder of DayStar, had been in the manufacturing business since college as a co-op student working with Oxford Industries. His career quickly led him to work with VF as an engineer for Lee Jeans. Mr. Hall advanced through the company and eventually managed one of the largest sewing plants for Lee Jeans in the United States. After having much success in the apparel world, Scott created his own company. DayStar began as a uniform company selling polo shirts and aprons direct to the public. By 1999, many uniform companies had found DayStar and requested for the company to convert to a supplier and sell through distributors only. DayStar concurred and in 1999 DayStar started selling exclusively through Uniform Distributors. DayStar's facilities are currently located in Jasper, GA at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. DayStar began in 1998 with two people operating out of 500 square feet to currently employing over 50 people operating out of 28,000 square feet. The company has consistently experienced double digit growth, continuing to show the need for high quality apparel in the United States. |
