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.

(click one of the stamps below to see your device in action) Where did CelJel come from? We came up with the idea for CelJel about 2 years ago. At the time we were loving the amazing smart devices that came out on the market after the premier of the incredible iPhone in 2007 (and prior to that, the iPod). The idea was to design a holder that had stability but didn't require you to clamp the device in. We needed to be able to simply pick up the phone, music player, etc. and put it back down quickly and easily. As it turned out, the perfect holder would be one that was rubbery, soft, grippy and somewhat heavy to stay put on your desktop or counter. The more apps and functionality that appeared on these smart devices, the more we wanted the option to set them down to enjoy the content. We spent a year working on shapes, angles and materials. Finally, after many clay test models and with the development of the Tech-Jel420 rubber formula, utilizing the purest grade of high-gravity silicone rubber, it had the weight and grip we needed. CelJel was born! |
