The Tip is 'Before You Buy' Made in America Secrets tries to send you to internet stores that sell the Made In USA products you searched for. We try to link you directly to only Made In USA products, however sometimes this does not happen. When you click our banner / link ads the store we link you to may show you products that are imported alongside those that are Made In USA. We all know most retailers sell products that are made and come from all over the world including the USA. Therefore, our tip is look at the details before you buy the product. This is true for both brick and mortar stores and internet retailers. Any Made in America store that represents selling only Made in USA products can be believed but check them anyway. They will appreciate your help. Here is a great example of a very reputable Made in America Store. Our site is similar to a few others that I call "Indexers". These sites offer lists like an index. These indexes relate companies to the products they sell. There are a few, like this site, that provide an index of Made in America companies and their products. You can use the indexes (like I have done at times) to find a particular product and the companies that make it. Our site has many features like our buy tips that are unique and valuable. We add buying tips regularly so don't forget to check them out, as they will help you find and buy great Made In America products. Some of these sites are a good resource if you are looking for the manufacturer of a specific product. However you should first check their accuracy because some are not maintained as well as others. Some allow inaccurate and inappropriate ads, others like Made In America Secrets maintain the accuracy of their indexes and do not allow inappropriate advertisements. We continually try to improve our links and we solicit your help and ideas to make our site even better. You can contact us by email, mail, or phone and we will try our very best to respond promptly. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Altered Seasons Making candles has been a family hobby and holiday tradition since the early 1900's. In 2003, at the tender age of 14, Kelly Reddington decided to go into business...only one problem held him back ? He wasn't old enough to be the sole owner of a bank account let alone a business. So, with the help of his Mother, he set up shop. She was his coach, his mentor, and his business partner, and together, they provided the community with a quality product as well as superior customer care. Today, in 2013, Altered Seasons is 10 years old and stronger than ever. One day I was thinking about how odd it was that there were no Procter & Gamble's of social enterprise. I had this business that I started with my Mom when I was 14, and now that I was running it solely, I felt that I couldn't just run another business ? that it needed something else, something that would not only fit my needs as a person, to have purpose, but the customers' needs as well. The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to change the company to a 1-for-1 model. I didn't know exactly what we would give, and we first started out with giving away Citronella candles to help fight Malaria, you know, the candle scent that keeps the bugs away. Then I was reading in my local newspaper about Poverty in America and how it was on the rise and how it affects children in school. That article really hit home. My mom teaches science at a local middle school, so she and I discussed the article, and she told me how, when kids are hungry, they can't focus and their grades as well as their behavior suffers ? and that's when it hit me. We have to feed these kids! If they aren't getting proper nutrition, they can't adequately perform in school, and if they can't perform in school, they end up either dropping out in high school, or falling so far behind that they are placed in remedial courses, not because of their capabilities, but because their bodies are in a catabolic state as opposed to an anabolic state, you know, the good one. How many kids are missing out on life because they suffer from Hunger? We don't know exactly, but we do know that we can make a difference. |
