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 Bailey Boys It all started as a passion of Diane Bailey as far back as she can remember. As a little girl she spent hours and hours drawing and creating. As she grew older, into high school and even college, she would design and assemble clothes for herself. People were always asking me where I got these cool, new clothes, she said. Diane attended Georgia Southern University, where she earned a BS in home economics. After marrying her college sweetheart, she became a stay-at-home mom since she was blessed with two wonderful young boys. She found it very difficult to find clothes that would fit them, so she began making her own outfits for them and the John-John was invented. As her boys grew older, her husband persuaded her to begin mass producing her designs to sell, and thus The Bailey Boys, Inc. was born. In 1987, it began as a small five sewing machine operation designing only boy's outfits in a room the size of your average bedroom. Today, The Bailey Boys, inc. operates a 22,000-square foot facility in Baxley, GA with its corporate headquarters located on Saint Simons Island, GA. They are very proud to service over 700 customers throughout the United States. There is a Bailey Boys company store on Saint Simons Island.. Please visit the Store Locator link for directions. |
