The Tip is 'Ask manufacturers' Some times I have run across an advertisement that implied a product was Made in USA but the product did not have the Made in USA label. Before I buy or put the product on my Made in USA list, I email the manufacturer and ask if their product is Made in USA. If they say yes I ask why their product is not labeled that way. Seldom will they tell me why but many times they will tell me every component that is Made in the USA and those that are not. I then make my decision about buying their product and put it on my list if they convince me. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Jack Rudy Cocktail Co In our household, Jack Rudy, our great-grandfather, was often the topic of conversation, his life was used as a barometer for what it meant to be a modern Southern gentleman. Below are some of our favorite stories: Jack Rudy was many things. He was a pilot who illegally ?ew his plane under the Ohio River Bridge (on a dare), an inventor who created a mechanical device for pharmacists to count pills, and a craftsman who once built a houseboat out of an old city bus. After serving as an aircraft mechanic in WWII, he spent his working life as an engineer. He read Popular Mechanics and National Geographic cover to cover ? a curious type who made his own bullets, and shot them into a dirt wall he constructed in his basement. In addition to being a ?marvelous' dancer, he LOVED to entertain and was known to overindulge in drink, smoke, and his wife's gourmet cooking. Jack Rudy Cocktail Co. is a family run company based in Charleston, SC and Lexington, KY.
