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 Opus Americana In late 2009, Michael Niemis, the author of Opus Americana, was inspired to give testament to the historical events, founding fathers and founding principles of the United States of America. This inspiration led to the creation of Opus Americana - a new book honoring the Founding Fathers, our founding documents and national symbols that have helped make America the greatest nation on Earth. Armed with skills as a professional graphic designer, experience as a former U.S. Marine, and a passion for detail, Michael developed the collection from the front cover to the back. He wanted the material to represent everything that makes America remarkable, while imparting the dignity and respect that these men and documents deserve. He spent an entire year and his life savings to create a masterpiece collection to pay tribute to the establishment of this great country. From the printing to the binding, Opus Americana was made in America. Every book sold gives an American a job, Michael stated in a recent television interview. It is important that, when you have a book about America, it be made in America. His goal is to inspire Americans and future generations to remember what makes America the greatest and freest nation on Earth. Opus is designed to be passed on from generation to generation, to remind them of sacrifices made, so that we may never forget. It is an heirloom of unparalleled quality and workmanship in the literary industry. On March 12, 2010, Opus Americana debuted to the American public on national television, showcased on Fox and Friends. As stated in the interview, Michael desires to help the U.S. Constitution and other founding documents to be cherished and preserved for future generations. Citing such inspirations as Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and John Adams, Michael poured his heart and soul into this endeavor. This book illustrates the history that paved the way for the first free and representative form of government the world has ever known. Featuring specific yet easy to understand details, Opus Americana is designed for anyone who is proud of what our country represents. It is a timeless tribute for those who have served and dedicated themselves to the cause of freedom. Opus Americana is a memorable gift for all Americans, including current serviceman, veterans, teachers, parents, grandparents, children and grandchildren. Offered in two different editions - Standard or Magnus - and two options for leather color, the collection may be personalized with an engraved plate inside the front cover for an additional cost. My hope in creating this collection was to bind the most divine documents the world has ever known, along with a tribute to the men who created them, the sacrifices made to establish our founding principles, and the historical symbols that have come to represent our great nation, into a beautiful book. A book that every American could afford to display in their home or office, give to a friend or family member, and to let it serve as a constant reminder to anyone who reads it, what it took to make America free. ?
