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 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. |
