The Tip is 'Before You Buy' Made in America Secrets tries to send you to internet stores that sell the Made In USA products you searched for. We try to link you directly to only Made In USA products, however sometimes this does not happen. When you click our banner / link ads the store we link you to may show you products that are imported alongside those that are Made In USA. We all know most retailers sell products that are made and come from all over the world including the USA. Therefore, our tip is look at the details before you buy the product. This is true for both brick and mortar stores and internet retailers. Any Made in America store that represents selling only Made in USA products can be believed but check them anyway. They will appreciate your help. Here is a great example of a very reputable Made in America Store. Our site is similar to a few others that I call "Indexers". These sites offer lists like an index. These indexes relate companies to the products they sell. There are a few, like this site, that provide an index of Made in America companies and their products. You can use the indexes (like I have done at times) to find a particular product and the companies that make it. Our site has many features like our buy tips that are unique and valuable. We add buying tips regularly so don't forget to check them out, as they will help you find and buy great Made In America products. Some of these sites are a good resource if you are looking for the manufacturer of a specific product. However you should first check their accuracy because some are not maintained as well as others. Some allow inaccurate and inappropriate ads, others like Made In America Secrets maintain the accuracy of their indexes and do not allow inappropriate advertisements. We continually try to improve our links and we solicit your help and ideas to make our site even better. You can contact us by email, mail, or phone and we will try our very best to respond promptly. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Brothersrich Thank you for your interest in Brothers Rich! Brothers Rich was an idea born of 3 siblings (my brothers Jim and John, and me) as a way to share our passions with others by collaborating to create a product of the highest quality and aesthetic appeal, inspired by ideas we each have dreamt up. The first of these collaborations is a series of bikes highlighted on this site. I've designed and built each one and am excited to share their story with you. Here's how it all began: I'm an Architect living and working in Baltimore Maryland, but my roots run deep in the south. I was born in Charleston SC and spent most of my life kicking around the Panhandle of Florida (foreshadowing to my latest bike, the Panhandle). I commute to work on old Raleighs and in early 2013 I bought a vintage Raleigh Dl-1. I had been wanting to build up a Vintage road racer for years to blast around the streets of Baltimore. During my search I came across a stash of these old bikes just south of the city. It was then that I called my big brother John up. As the owner of a retail shop, Oakleaf & Acorn, I knew he'd be able to help sell the bikes as well as help shape the vision and design. I took a loan out, bought the frames and began the process of building up a bike that would eventually become The Charleston. Since then I've also enlisted the help of our father, hauling frames in his pick-up truck while up visiting. Truly a family affair! Since buying that first Dl-1 I've put countless hours into building these bikes. Initially, I spent most of my weekends searching for quality components that would work with the vintage Raleigh frame, Beyond compatibility issues, modern components I did find were either really poorly made or very high end. There was no in-between. Now with The Charleston, Panhandle and many restoration projects well underway, there are no less hours spent on the painstaking process of building each of these, but there's also a lot of time getting the word out and meeting the people who have also fallen in love with them. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions you have. |
