The Tip is 'Labeling Tip 1' Know Your Labeling - For products Made in America, the greater the US content the more American jobs required to produce it. So whenever possible choose the product with the highest percentage of U.S.content. US content must be disclosedon Made in USA textiles, automobiles, wool, and fur products. There is no law requiringmost other products to be marked or labeled made in USA, or, have any otherdisclosure about their amount of U.S. content. Those manufacturers and marketers who choose to make claims about the amount of U.S. content must comply with the FTC's Made in USA policy. Note: Imported products must have the country of origin on their label whileproducts partially Made in USA do not. For a product produced in the U.S. to be labeled made in USA, or claimed to beof domestic origin without qualifications or limits on the claim, the product must be all or virtually all made in the U.S. This would mean that all significant parts and processing that go into the product are of U.S. origin. The product should contain no (or negligible) foreign content. Made in the USA products create the greatest number of American jobs for our country. This is because the labor to produce the product, and the raw materials that go into the product, are created with American labor. For most products, there is no law requiring made in America labels, or any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on the label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. The product without the country origin on its label has some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not.

Over the past 50 years the steel industry has produced approximately 50% of its new products from reclaimed/recycled materials. The process has gotten so efficient that steel re-cycling is now greater than all the materials mentioned above COMBINED! Half of what is shown below was at one time something else! 2009-051709-ocracoke-trip-008.jpg divder Jason M. Milks: The Motivated Entrepreneur 100_0647.jpg He had a lot of good times growing up in Buffalo, NY. Taking his college career seriously he received a degree in Business with a focus on Marketing. Deciding to leave his hockey and skiing life behind he moved to Charlotte, NC and with some luck, and a willingness to work he landed a job with a race team. While there for nearly 10 years he worked his way up the corporate ladder. Jason will tell you his work ethic came from his Grandfathers who both started and grew successful businesses. His dream was to start his own business some day and as these things go, he met the right people at the right time and The Steel Appeal was born. The Steel Appeal is a product of not one or two people's efforts, but the efforts of many, this is something Jason is so appreciative of and is what he has enjoyed most about The Steel Appeal's beginnings. Jason lives with his wife Amber and an incredible boxer named Victor in Cornelius, NC. Jason's favorite quote is from one of his heroes Be Enthusiastic, Be Confident, and Be Careful ?Bobby Allison |
