The Tip is 'Don't procrastinate' For years I've been buying ink jet cartridges from a big box office supply store. These cartridges were made overseas and labeled with the well-known brand of a large American printer company. One I remembered a local store that advertised quality cartridges. I had traveled by this local store hundreds of times but never stopped. This time I stopped at the local store. To my surprise I discovered that they carried the cartridge I needed and it was a Made in USA cartridge. Made in Chicago, to be precise, and it was half the price of the imported ones I had been buying for years. The quality is exceptional and they last longer too. Who knew? After that experience, I make a point to stop at every store I can. By doing so, I've been finding more and more Made in America products. Occasionally the clerks don't know the country of origin; this can be discouraging but finding the origin information yourself isn't difficult I've come to realize. Believe it not, there are actually a number of computers made in the US including laptops made in the USA. When the label is not visibly displayed I use the other Made in America buying tips to help me find Made in US. If the store doesn't carry what you are looking for, use Made in America Secrets to find it and tell the manager about your experience at their store. If enough people are asking for Made in America products stores will begin to carry them.

While I came to believe that was probably not true, I have made every effort to make that slogan a reality through the procurement of ingredients on the menu. - Chef Stephan Pyles LUNCH Mon-Fri 11:30AM-2PM $5 Valet Parking Available DINNER Mon-Wed 6PM-10:30PM Thur-Sat 6PM-11PM Bar opens 4PM Daily Complimentary Valet TACO BAR Mon-Wed 5PM-10:30PM Thur-Sat 5PM-11PM SUNDAY SUPPER 5PM-9PM |
