The Tip is 'Don't procrastinate' For years I've been buying ink jet cartridges from a big box office supply store. These cartridges were made overseas and labeled with the well-known brand of a large American printer company. One I remembered a local store that advertised quality cartridges. I had traveled by this local store hundreds of times but never stopped. This time I stopped at the local store. To my surprise I discovered that they carried the cartridge I needed and it was a Made in USA cartridge. Made in Chicago, to be precise, and it was half the price of the imported ones I had been buying for years. The quality is exceptional and they last longer too. Who knew? After that experience, I make a point to stop at every store I can. By doing so, I've been finding more and more Made in America products. Occasionally the clerks don't know the country of origin; this can be discouraging but finding the origin information yourself isn't difficult I've come to realize. Believe it not, there are actually a number of computers made in the US including laptops made in the USA. When the label is not visibly displayed I use the other Made in America buying tips to help me find Made in US. If the store doesn't carry what you are looking for, use Made in America Secrets to find it and tell the manager about your experience at their store. If enough people are asking for Made in America products stores will begin to carry them. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Volcanic Bikes Erupting after a brief conversation with a bicycle police officer in Seattle, Volcanic Bikes was created to build The Toughest Patrol Bikes on Earth!. The officer mentioned that some of their patrol bikes were breaking under the stress of duty, which started Volcanic Bikes founder and designer, Eric Kackley, working on the problem. After a couple of years development, the idea became a reality when the first Volcanic APB rolled onto the mean streets. Officers were so impressed with the result that in 2005 Volcanic Bikes secured its first contract and began building Approach Patrol Bicyles for its first satisfied customer, the City of Seattle. Years later, Volcanic is coveted by departments all over the U.S. and is generating interest and sales internationally. Backed by a LIFETIME frame WARRANTY, Volcanic Bikes' core focus will always remain the same: to build The Toughest Patrol Bikes on Earth! |
