The Tip is 'Ask Before You Buy' I went to a department store for a pair of dress shoes recently. The clerk helped me with three different pairs that I tried on. 'The Big Secret' was on the forefront of my mind so I asked, "Are these shoes imports?" The salesman responded that they were in fact imported. "Do you have any Made In America shoes like these?" I asked. To my surprise he said, "We have a whole line of Made In USA shoes." I was able to purchase 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. It's amazing how often this simple Made in US question yields unexpected and often times pleasant results. I now ask this question regularly, whereas before I would not have thought to ask for a Made in America alternative. More often than not, I can find a Made in America product of higher quality and at the same, or slightly higher price. Asking the question is so simple and can make a positive impact, in both the short and long term. Try it sometime. If you are like me, you may be surprised with how many Made in US products are out there. You will love it when you realize you are making a difference that benefits many. 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 Dog Candles & More When Jim and Laura Leuty lit the flame for Dog Candles in 2001, they started with a clear vision and a simple thought. After their daughter, Amanda, received a candle-making kit for her fifth birthday, she turned to her mom and proclaimed, We should start a candle-making business. With those precious words, Dog Candles was born. Dog Candles carefully crafts each dog candle or pet candle by hand using the finest ingredients available, including a variety of gel designs, to ensure quality and safety. Each dog candle or pet candle burns up to five times longer than wax candles and they are safer than wax pillars and tapers. The Leutys use only materials that are manufactured in the U.S. for each dog candle or pet candle they make. Once the dog candle or pet candle burns out, their stylish glass containers can be used for crafts or to store food. The tiles of each dog candle or pet candle can be cleaned, and with a magnet and some glue can be converted into a decorative magnet for your refrigerator or filing cabinet. The Leuty family, which includes son, Andrew, and dog, Lacey J., is a lover of all types of animals - and it firmly believes in supporting worthwhile causes. They share the belief that if you are selecting a purebred dog - or any other type of animal - consider visiting your local animal shelter as you begin your search. Many times you can find the breed you are looking for or an adorable mixed breed that needs a home. For unique dog candles or pet candles, contact us today to place your order. |
