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 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. |
