The Tip is 'Labeling Tip 1' Know Your Labeling - For products Made in America, the greater the US content the more American jobs required to produce it. So whenever possible choose the product with the highest percentage of U.S.content. US content must be disclosedon Made in USA textiles, automobiles, wool, and fur products. There is no law requiringmost other products to be marked or labeled made in USA, or, have any otherdisclosure about their amount of U.S. content. Those manufacturers and marketers who choose to make claims about the amount of U.S. content must comply with the FTC's Made in USA policy. Note: Imported products must have the country of origin on their label whileproducts partially Made in USA do not. For a product produced in the U.S. to be labeled made in USA, or claimed to beof domestic origin without qualifications or limits on the claim, the product must be all or virtually all made in the U.S. This would mean that all significant parts and processing that go into the product are of U.S. origin. The product should contain no (or negligible) foreign content. Made in the USA products create the greatest number of American jobs for our country. This is because the labor to produce the product, and the raw materials that go into the product, are created with American labor. For most products, there is no law requiring made in America labels, or any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on the label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. The product without the country origin on its label has some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE My Liberty Threads Announces State Fair 2014 Tour - Expects to Create 4000 American Labor Hours in the Process. Minneola, Fl. 6/16/2014 - Scott Miller, Owner/Founder of My Liberty Threads (MLT) has been traveling the country with his hard hitting, American made, apparel brand since its inception in 2011. On Sunday, 6-23, he will hit the road with his t shirts and blouses, spending the next 4 months selling them at more than 20 major events across America. His travels will cover 12 states, and will place his self-proclaimed ?Freedom Forward' designs in front of more than 15 million customers. This summer and fall, MLT has been accepted into some of the largest state fairs across the country. Among them are Ohio, Kansas, Illinois, Oklahoma, and Virginia. Other events, such as country music festivals, major county and regional fairs, and biker rallies, will take MLT from upstate New York, to Salt Lake City, Utah, and virtually everywhere in between. We've grown from selling at local farmers markets and flea markets, to becoming a player on the major festival scene. During our travels last year, we found a handful of amazing folks who have begun their own small businesses selling the MLT brand. This year, they'll be joining me in setting up at some of the largest events in the country, says Miller. The brand features women's blouses and tank tops, as well as men's t shirts that celebrate our freedoms as Americans. Bikers, Veterans, and freedom loving Americans are the target audience for My Liberty Threads. MLT currently has eight retailers selling MLT products in 6 different states, and is actively looking to grow its brand across the country. This summer can be a real ?game changer' for MLT, and ultimately for the American clothing industry. If our current retailers and I have the same success at this year's events that I had last year, we'll create more than 4,000 labor hours. That's 4,000 American labor hours. said Miller.
