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 Fast Company Draggin Jeans Hal Baxter founded Fast Company in 1993 and shortly began marketing his new invention, Draggin' Jeans. The now famous image of Hal dragging behind a pick-up truck comes from his early R&D work with Draggin' Jeans. Unsatisfied with the sandbags he initially employed to test his new invention, Hal put his ass on the line, literally. Only a genuine body provides realistic weight distribution for testing seam strength and wear to pressure points. After several revisions, Draggin' Jeans were born. Hal's eureka! moment came one Sunday afternoon in the midst of a sweltering ride. Hal and a friend stopped for some ice cream to cool down. While waiting in line in some very colorful racing leathers, a small boy gazed transfixed at the pair of motorcyclists. After a few moments of silent contemplation the boy turned and yelled Hey, Mama! Look at the clowns! Hal decided there must be a better way. He developed Draggin' Jeans as an alternative to hot, bulky, unfashionable leathers. Draggin' Jeans are perfect for those times when leather is too much of a hassle. Draggin' Jeans are lined with Kevlar?. Kevlar? is one of the toughest, strongest materials in existence and is used for a variety of applications that require high strength-to-weight ratios (bullet-proof vests, aerospace construction, driver's helmets, etc.). Five times stronger than steel yet soft and pliable, Kevlar? fabric lines the knees and seat of our jeans, providing superior protection where the motorcycle rider most needs it. |
