The Tip is 'Ask manufacturers' Some times I have run across an advertisement that implied a product was Made in USA but the product did not have the Made in USA label. Before I buy or put the product on my Made in USA list, I email the manufacturer and ask if their product is Made in USA. If they say yes I ask why their product is not labeled that way. Seldom will they tell me why but many times they will tell me every component that is Made in the USA and those that are not. I then make my decision about buying their product and put it on my list if they convince me.

After a day fly fishing on the Little Blackfoot River in 2001, Darren Jones decided he needed a product that would not only clean his fly line, but protect his fingers. A few weeks and several prototypes later, he created Stripee, the first product for what would eventually become Alpine Innovations. The company's next big break came in 2002 when Darren spilled mayo on his glasses. After an unsuccessful search for his ever-missing microfiber cloth, he knew he needed to invent a cloth that wouldn't get lost. With a little help from his wife and talented seamstress, Shellie, Spudz was born. Spudz helped put Alpine Innovations on the map, and the company has been creating innovative accessories for the eyewear, photography, electronics, and outdoor markets ever since. Fast forward to 2013, and Darren is still looking for problems to solve. With 15 patents and over 25 unique products, Alpine Innovations continues to create products that solve everyday problems. |
