The Tip is 'Labeling Tip 1' Know Your Labeling - For products Made in America, the greater the US content the more American jobs required to produce it. So whenever possible choose the product with the highest percentage of U.S.content. US content must be disclosedon Made in USA textiles, automobiles, wool, and fur products. There is no law requiringmost other products to be marked or labeled made in USA, or, have any otherdisclosure about their amount of U.S. content. Those manufacturers and marketers who choose to make claims about the amount of U.S. content must comply with the FTC's Made in USA policy. Note: Imported products must have the country of origin on their label whileproducts partially Made in USA do not. For a product produced in the U.S. to be labeled made in USA, or claimed to beof domestic origin without qualifications or limits on the claim, the product must be all or virtually all made in the U.S. This would mean that all significant parts and processing that go into the product are of U.S. origin. The product should contain no (or negligible) foreign content. Made in the USA products create the greatest number of American jobs for our country. This is because the labor to produce the product, and the raw materials that go into the product, are created with American labor. For most products, there is no law requiring made in America labels, or any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on the label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. The product without the country origin on its label has some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Lacey Door and Millwork Lacey Door & Millwork opened on January 2, 1983. as a prehung door shop serving the Thuston County area. Contractor and remodeler trade was the main source of business, but we also sold retail to the public. 30 years later we are a very different company. In 1994, we began producing Custom Millwork. We purchased a Weining Moulder and some equipment from a Door Mill that was going out of business. Two employees came from that transaction and we began to build doors and produce custom moulding and jambs. Later we developed a Custom Mantle buisness when anouther local firm was getting out of that field. Today our custom manufacturing buisness produces specialty doors and millwork that ships all over the northwest and the Hawaiian Islands. We added a prefinish operation and can custom match colors and stains. Since offering this service we can take a project from start to finish in one shop,with delivery to the job site. With the box stores booming in the 90's we began to see a change in our prehung door business. We service more of the Custom Builder rather then the large spec. contractor. The public still comes to us when they realize the big box stores dont have or know everything! Our knowledge and sevice is a real asset when doing any project small or large. We stock many varieties of rough lumber and can get many exotic wood species. Our employees are highly skilled and offer diversity that is unique to any door shop in this area. |
