The Tip is 'Manufacturer's sites' I recently ran out of my favorite pancake syrup. I loved the brand we had been using but when I went to the grocery store, I couldn't find it. The syrup was made in Indiana and I was living in Florida at the time. I tried unsuccessfully to find it on an internet. The manufacturer is small and their products are not readily available so I thought I would try their website. They did, in fact, have their own internet store so I ordered it directly from them. Now, I always buy their made in USA maple syrup from their website and never run out. Made in America Secrets has thousands of made in USA products offered by hundreds of small manufacturers. These small Made in America companies are a large contributor to our economy. In fact, according to the 2008 US Census Bureau small businesses, those employing 1 to 99 employees comprise 98% of all the USA businesses. This is equivalent to 5.8 million businesses that employee 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. Use this web site to for a list of products made in the US- especially since it is likely that a small US manufacturer employs someone you know- your husband, wife, children, or grandchildren. When using Google to search for Made in America products often times these small made in the United States businesses never show up on page one- and most folks don't look past page one. What does this mean? The consumer has a difficult time locating that US made product. Made in America Secrets was conceived to provide a solution to that problem. As an example search for motorcycles Made in America using Google and you will likely miss many of the companies that make this country great. Use Made in America Secrets for the search and you will likely find a hidden jewel. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Happi Nappi Happi-Pocket started 18 years ago in Memphis, Tennessee. Cynthia Talley left a Fortune 500 Company to be able to stay home with her children. Needing to go back to work, she became a substitute teacher in the Memphis City School System. During this time, she was starting to develop the Happi-Nappi Nap Bag in her spare time. Several of the teachers used chair bags that parents had made for their students. Having been home sewn, the bags were not holding up very well. Since Cynthia sewed, she took several home to be repaired. As word spread of the repairs, several more appeared. The teachers told her she needed to start making chair bags while she was making the Happi-Nappi Nap Bag. As she sold the Happi-Nappi Nap Bag, child care directors suggested she start manufacturing quality cot and mat sheets. Discovering the market for sheets had a lot to be desired, she started making the sheets. The chair bag developed into the Happi-Pocket and the rest is history.... A few years later, the factory is in place shipping across the USA. Every day is looked at as a new learning experience. If someone makes a suggestion, we listen. We continue to listen.
