The Tip is 'Made In America Secrets' We needed some new towels recently and I remembered coming across your website. I thought I would give it a quick search to see if there were any Made in America towels sold nearby. It just so happened that when I did the search, I found there was a nearby reseller listed who carried the particular Made in the USA towels I wanted. We bought the towels and, not surprisingly, they are both more absorbent and better looking than I thought. Made in America Secrets has thousands of products made in America offered by hundreds of small manufacturers. These small companies are a big contributor to our economy. According to one study small businesses (those employing 1 to 99 employees) comprise 98% of all the USA businesses. That's equivalent to 5.8 million businesses employing over 40 million people. Most American's are unaware of how significant small business is when compared to the total size of the US economy. This website is aware of it and that is why 99% of the businesses that advertise on Made in America Secrets are small businesses. I now use this site to search for small companies especially since more than likely it is a small company that employs someone I know- my wife, my children, my friends. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Piazza Pisano Studio Many people want to know what our products are made from and if they are weather resistant. Here are the answers: Our products are very durable and weather resistant. The material we use, which is a casting composite, is extremely durable and impervious to weather. But, all of our pieces are painted and even though we use durable lacquer paints with a clear lacquer topcoat, ALL paint over time will fade. We believe our plaques and signs will still look good in an exterior environment for several years. If you would like your piece repainted in a few years, we will do that at no charge. Just ship the piece to use and will will repaint and stain it and return it to you. Our webstore features the art work of American artist Al Pisano. Al Pisano is a dimensional artist and creates his art through carving or sculpting. Al's career started in New York City in the 1950's. As a graduate of the prestigious School of Industrial Arts in New York City, Al started his career in NYC advertising as a paste up artist. Over the years he became an Art Director and eventually formed his own Graphic Design company. After a trip to Italy in the 1970's, Al was inspired to try his hand at carving and felt so passionate about carving and sculpting that he completely changed his art business to producing dimensional art. Al has created logos for companies such as Paul Masson, Burger King, Pepperidge Farms, Alaska Airlines and hundreds of book covers. In 1992 he started a new company producing home decor and gift items with his business partner Kay Coulter. They have worked with major catalog companies and other retailers to produce unique and exclusive items from Al's designs--carved and sculpted. All the manufacturing of these items is done in their factory in Miami Fl and under the supervision of Al. Kay and Al continue to operate their production facility in Miami--supervising all the reproductions of Al's artwork. Unlike other companies that moved all their production facilities to Asia, Kay and Al have kept their production here in the US so they could provide top notch quality and customer service. These are beautiful handcrafted reproductions of Al Pisano's original carvings and sculptures.Created in the artist's studio, each piece is meticulously hand cast and then hand painted and stained to capture all the incredible detail. We also personalize many of our wall plaques free of charge and these make great gifts. All of our products are Made in the USA by skilled artisans under the supervision of Al Pisano. - See more at: http://www.piazzapisano.com/aboutus.html#sthash.UNVGcwk8.dpuf |
