The Tip is 'Made In America Secrets' We needed some new towels recently and I remembered coming across your website. I thought I would give it a quick search to see if there were any Made in America towels sold nearby. It just so happened that when I did the search, I found there was a nearby reseller listed who carried the particular Made in the USA towels I wanted. We bought the towels and, not surprisingly, they are both more absorbent and better looking than I thought. Made in America Secrets has thousands of products made in America offered by hundreds of small manufacturers. These small companies are a big contributor to our economy. According to one study small businesses (those employing 1 to 99 employees) comprise 98% of all the USA businesses. That's equivalent to 5.8 million businesses employing 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. I now use this site to search for small companies especially since more than likely it is a small company that employs someone I know- my wife, my children, my friends. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Alliance Rubber Company Transforming an idea into a manufacturing facility takes a lot of ingenuity. William Spencer, who left his Franklin, Kentucky home in 1904 at the age of 13, had that. Traveling by rail to seek adventure, he found himself in Alliance, Ohio in 1917 with less than $3, and began working for the Pennsylvania Railroad. Six years later on March 7, 1923, he obtained a few Goodyear inner tubes. He cut the bands by hand in his basement and founded Alliance Rubber Company. Moonlighting on the railroad for the first 14 years of business, he was able to meet payroll and expenses. From there, he purchased a building in Alliance, Ohio in 1930 in the midst of the Great Depression, and hired a carpenter at $.42 per hour to remodel the location. He traveled in his available time, persuading office supply stores and paper and twine houses to carry his line of products. In 1923, newspapers were blocked and thrown in the general direction of the porch. After seeing the Akron Beacon Journal blowing across lawns, he persuaded Tulsa World to try wrapping them with a band. He also persuaded grocers to try bands for faster bundling. After almost a century, Alliance is still a family owned business with a rich and distinctive American heritage. Committed to holding your world together, Alliance Rubber Company offers creative solutions for everyday life that are simple, practical, and reliable. |
