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 Bullhide Belts Our mission is to support USA families and jobs by producing high-quality leather goods in the USA at an affordable price. By keeping our production in the USA we provide jobs and a tax base that supports our communities. Eric Moore Eric D. Moore Founder The Birth of an American Company: Bullhide Belts was founded in 2007, by owner Eric Moore. He was looking for a belt that was a better quality leather than anything you could find in stores. The first belt designed was a black grooved edge bullhide belt, that has become one of the best selling belts in company history. Soon after we introduced the grooved bullhide belts in rich brown and natural colors. Bullhide Belts first started selling their belts at local trade shows to showcase their quality and build a customer base. Soon after in 2010, we opened our website store and started shipping our belts all over America. The success of the website led to more belts being designed such as the money belts, dress leather belts, shark, and double prong belts. We quickly expanded our product line the first 3 years and now offer hundreds of different belts, wallets, and leather goods to choose from. As customer demand grew, we have expanded our operation and built a state of the art leather shop in early 2013 to keep up with demand and our fast turnaround times. There are now two leather shops located in Indiana and our main offices are in Ohio, which currently employ 13 US workers. This allow us to build a quality custom made product and deliver it to your door in about a weeks time (compared to 30 days with other companies). Bullhide Belts is continuing to expand and showcase their products on national TV, radio, and magazines. In a short amount of time, we have grown to become one of America's largest belt manufactures on the principle of making quality leather goods at reasonable prices. |
