The Tip is 'Ask Before You Buy' I went to a department store for a pair of dress shoes recently. The clerk helped me with three different pairs that I tried on. 'The Big Secret' was on the forefront of my mind so I asked, "Are these shoes imports?" The salesman responded that they were in fact imported. "Do you have any Made In America shoes like these?" I asked. To my surprise he said, "We have a whole line of Made In USA shoes." I was able to purchase 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. It's amazing how often this simple Made in US question yields unexpected and often times pleasant results. I now ask this question regularly, whereas before I would not have thought to ask for a Made in America alternative. More often than not, I can find a Made in America product of higher quality and at the same, or slightly higher price. Asking the question is so simple and can make a positive impact, in both the short and long term. Try it sometime. If you are like me, you may be surprised with how many Made in US products are out there. You will love it when you realize you are making a difference that benefits many. With your help America will be ours again and that is a good thing.

Americana refers to artifacts of culture of the United States. Examples of this culture include Baseball, Apple Pie, Jazz, Superman, The Diner and American folk art. In music, it may refer to roots-based bluegrass to alternative country, blues, rap, hip hop and other native forms. Some traditional bluegrass instrumentation originated from other countries, but as American culture flourished, we adopted it as our own. Some examples consist of the banjo which originated on the African continent, guitars from Europe, and fiddling styles which have their roots in traditional Irish and other Gaelic fiddling techniques. Some other forms of American culture include: Carnivals, popular amusements such as side-shows, vernacular typography and signage, old horror movies in the haunted house genre, the old west and the backwoods cultures. |
