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 Blackberry Patch Blackberry Patch creates delicious handcrafted, small batch fruit syrups, toppings, preserves and salsas. Our Beginnings Founded by farmers in 1988, Blackberry Patch harvested local fruits and used time-honored Southern techniques to make jams, jellies and syrups. The company's goal then was the same as it is now: to make handmade, small batch, high-quality, goods using real fruits and family recipes. In 1999, Randy Harvey and Harry T. Jones, a pair of entrepreneurs with more than 40 years of combined business and food industry experience, acquired Blackberry Patch and began expanding the product assortment, as well as pursuing wider distribution. Today, as a result of their efforts, Blackberry Patch products are sold across the country in leading department stores, specialty food stores, resorts, mail order catalogs, and through our all-new online shop. Our Products Our fruit syrups, toppings, jams, and preserves are all handcrafted in Thomasville, Georgia, a welcoming, small Southern town that has served as a source of inspiration for many of our time-tested recipes. Our products have a just-like-mother-made-it good taste, because each is made with all-natural flavors and ingredients. Our Commitment Blackberry Patch is fully committed to providing you with delicious small batch goods that we are certain you and your family will enjoy, and we are equally committed to operating in the spirit of stewardship. For us, stewardship means being responsible for protecting something valuable to our team and our community. This is a commitment that we take seriously. To fulfill our commitment to stewardship, a portion of the profits from Blackberry Patch goes to support four charities: Marion Medical Missions, providing clean water in developing nations, The Gideons, bringing the Word of God to millions each year, Habitat for Humanity, providing sustainable housing around the globe. Our commitment to stewardship is at the core of our business, and we're very proud to be able to give something back to the global community. |
