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 LA Minerals L.A. Minerals 3195 Dowlen Rd. Beaumont, TX US Contact Us L.A. Minerals is a fresh face in the cosmetic industry. Founded in February of 2007, by Lorraine Aldean (LA) Pierce, a licensed cosmetologist for 23 years and beauty consultant for various corporations. The desire for safe, pure, functional mineral cosmetics was her driving force to search out the best available products from companies claiming those particular qualities. Over the years what she found was high priced cosmetics containing the same ingredients and makeup chemicals as the drug-store variety, and higher priced cosmetics (containing most of the same ingredients) selling via representatives of companies using a multi-level marketing approach. Even with questionable ingredients, some high end cosmetics are outrageously over-priced. Why? Because of packaging, expensive literature, massive overhead, pricey infomercials, and product profit dribbled down multiple layers throughout some companies multi-level marketing plans! The decision was made to produce top quality, natural mineral makeup at a reasonable price. The results were amazing. At LA Minerals you will find products that are truly safe and pure without breaking the bank. Quality product at a fair price. What a concept! My goal during product development was to include makeup ingredients that met all my criteria: natural source, non-irritating, non comedogenic, soothing, long lasting,and beneficial to the skin. And if not beneficial, at least non-harming. For example Iron Oxide, which is a natural pigment, doesn't benefit your skin, but doesn't harm it either. Yet it produces the desired results, pigmentation of the product. Many hours, weeks and months were spent on research and experimentation. Women are loving the results. I am too! -Lorraine A Pierce.
