The Tip is 'Manufacturer's sites' I recently ran out of my favorite pancake syrup. I loved the brand we had been using but when I went to the grocery store, I couldn't find it. The syrup was made in Indiana and I was living in Florida at the time. I tried unsuccessfully to find it on an internet. The manufacturer is small and their products are not readily available so I thought I would try their website. They did, in fact, have their own internet store so I ordered it directly from them. Now, I always buy their made in USA maple syrup from their website and never run out. Made in America Secrets has thousands of made in USA products offered by hundreds of small manufacturers. These small Made in America companies are a large contributor to our economy. In fact, according to the 2008 US Census Bureau small businesses, those employing 1 to 99 employees comprise 98% of all the USA businesses. This is equivalent to 5.8 million businesses that employee 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. Use this web site to for a list of products made in the US- especially since it is likely that a small US manufacturer employs someone you know- your husband, wife, children, or grandchildren. When using Google to search for Made in America products often times these small made in the United States businesses never show up on page one- and most folks don't look past page one. What does this mean? The consumer has a difficult time locating that US made product. Made in America Secrets was conceived to provide a solution to that problem. As an example search for motorcycles Made in America using Google and you will likely miss many of the companies that make this country great. Use Made in America Secrets for the search and you will likely find a hidden jewel. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Timeless Wood Creations Welcome! Thanks for checking out my site. My name is Curt DeRoo and I have been a resident of West Michigan all of my life. I have also experienced the ups and downs of the Michigan economy. In order to plan a secure future for my family I am embarking on a new chapter in my life that includes my love for woodworking and extra income for my family. When I was trying to figure out a name for my company I thought of what working with wood means to me. Woodwork means craftsmanship, quality, customization, and timeless construction. I believe in making a quality product that will last and that meets your needs. My father is a craftsman and my fondest memories are of working with him in his shop learning his trade. My goal is to follow in his footsteps and make him proud. I am an engineer by trade which helps me visualize my customer's needs. My wife is a teacher and she is always asking me to make pieces that help her organize her classroom. She is always impressed when I can make a beautiful piece of furniture from a simple sketch and some measurements. Being an engineer for the past 20 years has helped me develop an eye for details. My wife often tells me I'm a perfectionist and I always exceed her expectations. I hope to bring that same ethic and attention to detail to the pieces I build for you. I am also used to meeting deadlines so rest assured your order will be a priority. Punctuality is very important to me. I hope you give me a chance to show off my workmanship and quality to build you a piece of timeless woodwork that you will enjoy for years to come. You can choose a piece that you see on my website or feel free to contact me with a unique idea and we'll see what we can figure out together. Thank you for considering Timeless Wood Creations and helping support a company with all Made in the U.S.A. products. Sincerely, Curt DeRoo |
