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 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 |
