The Tip is 'Ask Before You Buy' I went to a department store for a pair of dress shoes recently. The clerk helped me with three different pairs that I tried on. 'The Big Secret' was on the forefront of my mind so I asked, "Are these shoes imports?" The salesman responded that they were in fact imported. "Do you have any Made In America shoes like these?" I asked. To my surprise he said, "We have a whole line of Made In USA shoes." I was able to purchase 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. It's amazing how often this simple Made in US question yields unexpected and often times pleasant results. I now ask this question regularly, whereas before I would not have thought to ask for a Made in America alternative. More often than not, I can find a Made in America product of higher quality and at the same, or slightly higher price. Asking the question is so simple and can make a positive impact, in both the short and long term. Try it sometime. If you are like me, you may be surprised with how many Made in US products are out there. You will love it when you realize you are making a difference that benefits many. 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 Gander Lock Over the past 20 years, I have purchased 3 gooseneck trailers. Today I own only one. The other two have been stolen. In the past when I looked at locks for gooseneck trailers, I was unable to find one that would lock the trailer to my satisfaction. There are coupler locks out there, but that's just what they are. Coupler locks. They will lock the coupler, but if someone wants to steal the trailer, all they have to do is take the coupler out of the receiving tube and put their own coupler in its place. Then the trailer is ready for them to take. I designed the GanderLock with this in mind. The GanderLock is designed to plug the receiving tube and make it so that the receiving tube won't accept a coupler. The biggest objection to the GanderLock has been that People aren't going to want to remove the coupler to put the lock in place. I have been using this design since January 2008, and have found that it takes less than 5 minutes to drop the coupler out and install the lock. And about that much time to take the lock out and put the coupler in place when I use the trailer. The GanderLock is made with the finest and most durable materials available. I think you will be pleased with the results when you use it. Mark Cline |
