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 Handmade Sweaters My enjoyment for crocheting and knitting was instilled at a young age by my grandmother. She taught me the basics and sent me on my way to master my craft. I became quite proficient in the making of granny square hats, scarves and purses. With the birth of my first daughter a couple of years ago, I decided that I wanted to crochet her a sweater. I found the perfect color yarn with just the right texture and went to work. The sweater came out perfect and rekindled my love for the craft. The sweater gets a lot of compliments. That said, I'm offering these 100% handmade sweaters for you to share with the little ones in your lives. In addition, I've also created a couple of optional accessories such as a matching hat & headband, which complete the set. Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
