The Tip is 'Don't procrastinate' For years I've been buying ink jet cartridges from a big box office supply store. These cartridges were made overseas and labeled with the well-known brand of a large American printer company. One I remembered a local store that advertised quality cartridges. I had traveled by this local store hundreds of times but never stopped. This time I stopped at the local store. To my surprise I discovered that they carried the cartridge I needed and it was a Made in USA cartridge. Made in Chicago, to be precise, and it was half the price of the imported ones I had been buying for years. The quality is exceptional and they last longer too. Who knew? After that experience, I make a point to stop at every store I can. By doing so, I've been finding more and more Made in America products. Occasionally the clerks don't know the country of origin; this can be discouraging but finding the origin information yourself isn't difficult I've come to realize. Believe it not, there are actually a number of computers made in the US including laptops made in the USA. When the label is not visibly displayed I use the other Made in America buying tips to help me find Made in US. If the store doesn't carry what you are looking for, use Made in America Secrets to find it and tell the manager about your experience at their store. If enough people are asking for Made in America products stores will begin to carry them.

The Company was founded in 1977 by Martin Greenfield when he bought the factory from his former employer, GGG Clothes. Mr. Greenfield had joined GGG in 1947 as an entry-level floor boy, ultimately rising to Vice President of Production before buying out his former employer. Initially structured as a traditional manufacturer, currently, Martin Greenfield Clothiers is focused on a hybrid approach. We construct garments to meet the requirements of innovative designers, specialty retailers, costume designers, stylists and individuals. We hand craft the finest made-to-order as well as made-to-measure suits, tuxedoes, sport jackets, slacks, and overcoats 100% built by hand in our 1917 Brooklyn Factory. Martin's sons Jay and Tod Greenfield joined their father in the 1980s and the trio currently manages the Company. We keep our focus on production, not promotion, creating garments with built in intrinsic value. Martin Greenfield Clothiers continues to operate as a union shop out of its 1917 location in Brooklyn. Believing in fostering strong ties to the surrounding community, Mr. Greenfield was instrumental in founding the East Williamsburg Valley Industrial Development Corporation.
