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. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Wolfsong Wear Our business began out of a search for better outerwear for active winter sports. When we could not find what we wanted, we designed and made our own clothing. Then we tested it on the trails running our dogsled touring business in the Lake Superior region near Bayfield, Wisconsin. Customers and friends started asking where we got our great looking clothing! A business was born. Since 1997 we have designed, tested and redesigned all of our outdoor clothing so that each piece of outerwear is the warmest, most comfortable, best looking, and as functional as can be. They are all locally handmade with the highest quality materials. We use durable, warm Woolrich Wool on the outside and soft comfortable Malden Mills 300 weight polar on the inside. Martexing Original Waxed fabric (waxed canvas like Shackleton) is used for our Nor'easter shells. When You Want It The Way You Want It, Sometimes You Just Have To Make It Yourself. John is absurdly dedicated to functional design. Mary's obsession with style and quality assures that it is all done in good taste. Together we make up the team that produces Wolfsong Wear, the best performing and best looking garments in the outerwear industry. If you want outerwear worth owning and wearing for many years, there is no substitute for quality workmanship and American made materials. That's why we will continue to use only the best materials and keep our production local. And as always, we fully guarantee everything we make. Thiels named |
