The Tip is 'Before You Buy' Made in America Secrets tries to send you to internet stores that sell the Made In USA products you searched for. We try to link you directly to only Made In USA products, however sometimes this does not happen. When you click our banner / link ads the store we link you to may show you products that are imported alongside those that are Made In USA. We all know most retailers sell products that are made and come from all over the world including the USA. Therefore, our tip is look at the details before you buy the product. This is true for both brick and mortar stores and internet retailers. Any Made in America store that represents selling only Made in USA products can be believed but check them anyway. They will appreciate your help. Here is a great example of a very reputable Made in America Store. Our site is similar to a few others that I call "Indexers". These sites offer lists like an index. These indexes relate companies to the products they sell. There are a few, like this site, that provide an index of Made in America companies and their products. You can use the indexes (like I have done at times) to find a particular product and the companies that make it. Our site has many features like our buy tips that are unique and valuable. We add buying tips regularly so don't forget to check them out, as they will help you find and buy great Made In America products. Some of these sites are a good resource if you are looking for the manufacturer of a specific product. However you should first check their accuracy because some are not maintained as well as others. Some allow inaccurate and inappropriate ads, others like Made In America Secrets maintain the accuracy of their indexes and do not allow inappropriate advertisements. We continually try to improve our links and we solicit your help and ideas to make our site even better. You can contact us by email, mail, or phone and we will try our very best to respond promptly. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Trenton Mills The year, 1884, was an exciting time in the little town of Trenton, Tennessee. One of the favorite pastimes, particularly on Sunday afternoons, was to load the family in a horse-drawn buggy or wagon and ride down near the railroad tracks to look with pride upon a new, two story brick building nearing completion to house a cotton mill which was to become the town's first industry. It was known as the Trenton Cotton Mill Company, and was incorporated by a special act of the Legislature that year. There was reason for enthusiasm among the town's leaders, for this new industry would provide jobs for 160 people, and have a weekly payroll of $600. During the early years of its operation, the lower floor of the mill building was used as a weaving room, with 160 looms in operation. The second story housed the carding and spinning machinery, with forty carding machines and 6,000 spindles on the spinning equipment. The first products were woven fabrics such as sheeting and drills, and cotton batting which was sold to furniture and mattress manufacturers. One of the things to which the owners proudly pointed was the fact that the new mill, lighted by its own electric system, used over two hundred incandescent lamps. The original building had burned in 1929, and had been rebuilt. When the mill was rebuilt, the looms were replaced with knitting machines, and the plant's principal products were meat bags and wiping cloths. The mill was acquired by Dyersburg Fabrics Inc. on October 28, 1964, and with the acquisition came a new future for Trenton Mills. The new owners launched a bold modernization and expansion program. Then, in September 2001, a new era began for Trenton Mills when the Donner family, formerly associated with Dyersburg Fabrics, purchased the business from Dyersburg. Capital improvements have begun, with the first series of new knitting machines already installed and running production. We pride ourselves on product quality and service second to none in our industry, and we appreciate the opportunity to earn your business. Trenton Mills, LLC P.O.
