The Tip is 'Labeling Tip 1' Know Your Labeling - For products Made in America, the greater the US content the more American jobs required to produce it. So whenever possible choose the product with the highest percentage of U.S.content. US content must be disclosedon Made in USA textiles, automobiles, wool, and fur products. There is no law requiringmost other products to be marked or labeled made in USA, or, have any otherdisclosure about their amount of U.S. content. Those manufacturers and marketers who choose to make claims about the amount of U.S. content must comply with the FTC's Made in USA policy. Note: Imported products must have the country of origin on their label whileproducts partially Made in USA do not. For a product produced in the U.S. to be labeled made in USA, or claimed to beof domestic origin without qualifications or limits on the claim, the product must be all or virtually all made in the U.S. This would mean that all significant parts and processing that go into the product are of U.S. origin. The product should contain no (or negligible) foreign content. Made in the USA products create the greatest number of American jobs for our country. This is because the labor to produce the product, and the raw materials that go into the product, are created with American labor. For most products, there is no law requiring made in America labels, or any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on the label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. The product without the country origin on its label has some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not. 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 |
