The Tip is 'Teach Grandchildren' One day, while I was on the Made In America Secrets site my granddaughter noticed and asked me what I was doing. I told her about the Big Secret and as I explained, she began to ask me more questions. After several minutes she left my office to play with her little sister. Months had gone by and until recently, I had forgotten about that moment. She was visiting again and I was talking to her about buying a custom printed T-Shirt. She immediately told me about a website that I could use to buy one. Wow I thought, she is only eight years old and already teaching me. The most amazing thing then happened, she said "Pops they sell Made In America T-Shirts". Thanks to her I purchased six custom Made In USA T-Shirts. Her name is Britton, she understands the Big Secret and I love it when she tells me her Little Secrets! Now she is ten and writing a screenplay called Mertastic. It is a story about a mermaid. Recently, she was visiting our house again and using my computer. She called me to come into my office and of course I came to her because that is what grandparents love to do. One of the reasons I love to be with her is because it is always interesting to see what she is up to. This time, she needed a mermaid tail for her movie, so we began to look around using Google. Her mother is a talented seamstress and will make the tail so we were looking for fabric that would be satisfy my granddaughter's vision of her mermaid tail. Once again we began to talk about Made in America and therefore started to investigate the country of origin of the fabrics she was considering. Because of that experience Made in USA fabric is now one of Made in America Secrets products. Thank you, Britton. 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?. |
