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.

The Big C Not only are materials, attention to design and manufacturing processes, our mainstay in the industry, we are also better known for our ability to advance the design curve and performance enhancement of the product. Penley spends a higher ratio of dollars per income on R&D than any other company, always did, always will. Penley is most famously known for their MADE IN USA policy. I do what I do because I like winning and love what I do. Moving off shore just to squeeze every dime out of my customers and fellow local industry competitors does not make me a better designer, a better businessman or my product a better product. As a matter of fact, I believe it promotes just the opposite. the plant Another facet to good engineering and manufacturing is the art of being more efficient, specifically reducing cost. In aerospace, you are constantly tasked with reducing cost and compressing manufacturing process times. I have applied these cost savings methods to the production of golf shafts and as a practice, I pass my savings to my customers ? thus adding to their bottom line and most importantly helping to keep America's golf club fitters/builders viable, and keeping US dollars in the US. Good luck and success to all, Carter Penley |
