The Tip is 'Where They're Proud' I recently saw an ad in our local newspaper for a big box home improvement store. Their newspaper ad had USA made products and American flags all over it. Several weeks later, I checked the ad again and sure enough they were still advertising their American made products. It was obvious they are proud to carry products Made in America. Their competitors made no mention of things Made in America. I have been to this store and asked what products are made in the USA? A clerk told me they primarily carry imports. Obviously they are not proud. I now realize you can buy many Made in the USA building supplies, including tools Made in USA and appliances Made in USA., in stores that are proud to carry brands Made in the USA. Here is another example of a store proudly carrying products Made in the USA. I was shopping for men's shoes in a local department store when I tried on three different pairs of shoes. I couldn't decide which pair I wanted so I went out on a limb and asked the clerk, "Are these shoes imports?" The salesman said "yes they are" so I asked, "Do you have any Made in America shoes like these?". To my surprise he said, with GREAT PRIDE, "yes sir, we have a whole line of Made In USA shoes". He brought me the same color and style with the Made in USA label. These Made in America shoes were less expensive, came with a better warranty, and were more comfortable. Looking for companies that are PROUD is simple and can have a great impact on our country. I encourage you to try this some time- just ask. You will love it when you realize you are making a difference that all of us will benefit from. With your help America will be ours again and that is a good thing. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Beeswax Candle Works Our company had its beginnings in 1979 when Christine purchased her first beehive equipment and packaged bees. In a few years the beehives were increased to about 100 hives, which produced honey and bee pollen for sale. In 1985 a small company was formed as a sole proprietorship under the name of Erwin's Bee Farm. The focus then became finding ways to use the beeswax that was accumulating from the extraction of honey. A few candle molds were purchased and experimentation was on its way. Beeswax candles were sold through a distributor and on consignment at local stores. As time progressed, the company started selling it's candles wholesale nationwide. In 2004 Ed and Christine Barth incorporated the company and changed the name to Beeswax Candle Works, Inc. Our website went online in early 2004 and we continue to sell candles to our internet customers both domestically and internationally. We also sell wholesale to domestic retailers and wholesale to international retailers. Our commitment to our customers is that we sell our candles using only 100% pure USA beeswax. Except for the wax dye in our colored 5 x 3/4 blue dipped tapers and colored 10 x 34 dipped tapers, 100% pure beeswax is the only ingredient in our handmade candles. We are firm in this and we buy our beeswax directly from USA beekeepers. Our experience in 1994 clinched this commitment when we purchased beeswax that came from China. Every box was stamped 100% pure beeswax and we could tell right away that something was wrong. We had the beeswax tested using gas chromatography and the wax tested 60% paraffin and 40% beeswax. Never again! We do not process any other waxes through our shop - only 100% pure USA beeswax. Today you will find a large assortment of 100% USA beeswax candles on our website, BeeswaxCandleWorks.com. We have over 35 sizes of hand dipped candles, three sizes of tea lights, three sizes of votives, three sizes of emergency candle tins, over 25 sizes of solid pillars, over 30 figurines, and over 10 sizes of beeswax honeycomb candles. If you want 100% beeswax candles please make sure the company is selling 100% pure beeswax. A candle can be called pure beeswax and still be 51% beeswax and 49% paraffin. |
