The Tip is 'Where They're Proud' I recently saw an ad in our local newspaper for a big box home improvement store. Their newspaper ad had USA made products and American flags all over it. Several weeks later, I checked the ad again and sure enough they were still advertising their American made products. It was obvious they are proud to carry products Made in America. Their competitors made no mention of things Made in America. I have been to this store and asked what products are made in the USA? A clerk told me they primarily carry imports. Obviously they are not proud. I now realize you can buy many Made in the USA building supplies, including tools Made in USA and appliances Made in USA., in stores that are proud to carry brands Made in the USA. Here is another example of a store proudly carrying products Made in the USA. I was shopping for men's shoes in a local department store when I tried on three different pairs of shoes. I couldn't decide which pair I wanted so I went out on a limb and asked the clerk, "Are these shoes imports?" The salesman said "yes they are" so I asked, "Do you have any Made in America shoes like these?". To my surprise he said, with GREAT PRIDE, "yes sir, we have a whole line of Made In USA shoes". He brought me the same color and style with the Made in USA label. These Made in America shoes were less expensive, came with a better warranty, and were more comfortable. Looking for companies that are PROUD is simple and can have a great impact on our country. I encourage you to try this some time- just ask. You will love it when you realize you are making a difference that all of us will benefit from. With your help America will be ours again and that is a good thing. 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. Warmest Regards, Charlene |
