The Tip is 'Watch What You Eat' While in the grocery store recently I noticed that the apples were from South America. Next to South American apples were a bin of apples labeled Made in USA. I decided to go with the Made in America apples since they were US grown. Always remember the Big Secret- buying more American made products helps put Americans back to work. It will guide you to food you will want to eat that is grown with US labor. If you just take a moment to look and think before you buy, it is likely you will find what you are looking for. Also, be careful because sometimes labels are not what they seem. Some companies use the letters USA to fool you into thinking they are American products. Trust only those products that literally claim their country of origin. Look for labeling like: Product of USA, Made in USA, Grown in USA, or other definitive markings. And last, when you begin the journey of purposely identifying American products keep in mind that it may take a little time but the more you look the easier it becomes. You will start to remember which brands are made in the USA and which aren't. This knowledge makes it easy and will accumulate over time. Some food items are not grown in the USA and you will learn that too. The Big Secret tells us we don't need to purchase everything from USA manufacturers just a little more than we are accustom to. If you can average $200 a month more on domestic purchases than you otherwise would it adds up fast. $2,400 a year is equivalent to 7 MILLION new American jobs. We believe that is a good thing. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Arthur L Baker Enterprises Baker Stoves All Stoves Hand-Crafted in the U.S.A., Made in York Co., Pennsylvania Arthur L. Baker Enterprises was founded in 1977. Art Baker, concerned with our dependence on foreign energy sources, along with the high cost of energy, invented a totally new wood stove. Most stoves of the time period were little more than a simple box, and were little changed from the stoves used in the last century. Art had the idea to incorporate a combination baffle system and heating chamber that would extract the maximum amount of heat from the wood, heat that would being wasted up the chimney on other stoves. The stove Art invented is made to produce more heat with less fuel. The stove takes cold air from your house and circulates it through the internal heating chamber, which is the hottest area in the stove, and produces hot air. The baffle system keeps the stove hotter by trapping the heat for a longer period of time. The hot air is then delivered to you house through the use of a blower system. At the same time, an easy spin draft control was adopted to make temperature adjustments easier. With the Baker stove, you get both radiant heat and circulatory heat! The Baker stove met with immediate success and the company was incorporated in August of 1977. Several patents were issued on the stove design to Arthur L. Baker. Art Baker's family now run the company, and continues to produce a full line of finely crafted stoves. All stoves are American made in York County, Pennsylvania. Every stove model made is tested and approved to UL standards. www.bakerstoves.com |
