The Tip is 'Watch What You Eat' While in the grocery store recently I noticed that the apples were from South America. Next to South American apples were a bin of apples labeled Made in USA. I decided to go with the Made in America apples since they were US grown. Always remember the Big Secret- buying more American made products helps put Americans back to work. It will guide you to food you will want to eat that is grown with US labor. If you just take a moment to look and think before you buy, it is likely you will find what you are looking for. Also, be careful because sometimes labels are not what they seem. Some companies use the letters USA to fool you into thinking they are American products. Trust only those products that literally claim their country of origin. Look for labeling like: Product of USA, Made in USA, Grown in USA, or other definitive markings. And last, when you begin the journey of purposely identifying American products keep in mind that it may take a little time but the more you look the easier it becomes. You will start to remember which brands are made in the USA and which aren't. This knowledge makes it easy and will accumulate over time. Some food items are not grown in the USA and you will learn that too. The Big Secret tells us we don't need to purchase everything from USA manufacturers just a little more than we are accustom to. If you can average $200 a month more on domestic purchases than you otherwise would it adds up fast. $2,400 a year is equivalent to 7 MILLION new American jobs. We believe that is a good thing.

For nearly 60 years, our earlier family company served the cabinet needs of TV manufacturers, from Dumont and Symphonic in the 1940's and 1950's to Sony and Toshiba in the 2000's. Since 2006, Standout Designs has provided high-quality wood audio-video furniture direct to customers throughout the continental USA and Canada. You might say that Standout Designs goes against the grain of the AV furniture market. First, most of our wood cabinet parts are made from actual lumber, not veneer on engineered woods like particleboard or medium density fiberboard (MDF). Second, we manufacture our furniture in the United States, creating American jobs from the factory down the line to the American companies supplying the lumber, glass, packaging, and other materials used in our products. Third, we care about our Earth. We use local sustainably-logged timber, our shipping pallets are made from reclaimed wood, and most of our packing materials are recyclable. - See more at: http://www.standoutdesigns.com/pages/about-us#sthash.Y6N4P9Ue.dpuf |
