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 NK Hursts Company The N.K. Hurst Company was established in 1938 by Needham King Hurst as a distributor of coffee, tea and sugar. Mr. Hurst had worked with the C.D. Kenney Company as a sales representative when he decided to go into business on his own. 9 years later, he began packaging dry edible beans into 5 pound packages for the grocery trade. His decision would lay the groundwork for the future of our company. As the years went on, Hurst began packaging dry beans for many retail customers including the A&P Tea Company, Winn-Dixie, and Kroger. The Hurst brand became widely known as a top quality product. In the mid 1960's, Mr. Hurst went to an acquaintance who was a chemist and asked him to create a dry ham flavoring. The result would be a line of seasoned dry bean products under the brand name Hurst's HamBeens?. In 1986, we introduced our HamBeens? 15 Bean Soup? which includes 15 varieties of beans and peas, along with our famous ham seasoning packet. Today, our HamBeens? products are sold in every region of the United States. We are distributed from Maine to California and from Alaska to Florida. Our seasoned dry beans have expanded to nearly 20 items including Cajun 15 Bean Soup?, Spanish-American Black Bean Soup?, Pasta Fagioli, and Confetti Lentil Soupreme?. |
