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 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. ?
