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.

Our Story Mr. Stoll Mr. Stoll 1969 - 2012 You may have heard that necessity is the mother of invention. In the case of Stoll Fireplace Equipment, it started a business. That business today employs many people, and from its Abbeville County base has a marketing area that encompasses the United States and Canada. But it all began 40 years ago when Mr. Bill Stoll moved to Abbeville County from Virginia. He soon found that the fireplace in his new home was too large for any of the standard-sized fireplace screens that were typically available. So Bill made a screen to fit he estimates that the screen was 48 by 30 inches. Bill recalled that the response to his screen was entirely unexpected. I didn t have any idea I d be making fireplace screens for a living, he said. But when his neighbors began asking him to make fireplace equipment for them, he did, and soon a business was born. Today, two of Mr. Stoll's sons Dennis and Robert own the business which has grown steadily over the years. Stoll Fireplace Inc. makes a wide range of hearth products and fireplace accessories. Many of the products are still custom made by skilled craftsmen for our customer's individual fireplaces. Original Screen Designed and Built by Mr. Stoll Original screen designed and built by Mr. Stoll in 1969 Mr. William F. Stoll, Sr., founder of Stoll Fireplace, Inc. passed on to his eternal reward on November 2, 2008. Mr. Stoll was 94 years old, and is survived by Katie, his wife of 67 years. Mr. Stoll lived a full life, centered around serving others. He remained active throughout his life, and could be seen here at the plant or on errands for Stoll Fireplace up until the last couple months. His smiling face and genuine care for people will be greatly missed. We are all very sad to see him go, but we know he was ready to leave this earth. He lived a long, good, life here, and was looking forward to the time he could trade his earthly body for a heavenly one. |
