The Tip is 'Watch What You Eat' While in the grocery store recently I noticed that the apples were from South America. Next to South American apples were a bin of apples labeled Made in USA. I decided to go with the Made in America apples since they were US grown. Always remember the Big Secret- buying more American made products helps put Americans back to work. It will guide you to food you will want to eat that is grown with US labor. If you just take a moment to look and think before you buy, it is likely you will find what you are looking for. Also, be careful because sometimes labels are not what they seem. Some companies use the letters USA to fool you into thinking they are American products. Trust only those products that literally claim their country of origin. Look for labeling like: Product of USA, Made in USA, Grown in USA, or other definitive markings. And last, when you begin the journey of purposely identifying American products keep in mind that it may take a little time but the more you look the easier it becomes. You will start to remember which brands are made in the USA and which aren't. This knowledge makes it easy and will accumulate over time. Some food items are not grown in the USA and you will learn that too. The Big Secret tells us we don't need to purchase everything from USA manufacturers just a little more than we are accustom to. If you can average $200 a month more on domestic purchases than you otherwise would it adds up fast. $2,400 a year is equivalent to 7 MILLION new American jobs. We believe that is a good thing.

Test Couplings for Residential and Commercial Drain Waste and Vent Systems Available in 3 inch and 4 inch PVC and ABS for horizontal testing. The HubSett? test coupling is a uniquely designed coupling and test device all in one. It replaces other test methods and allows the buildings drain waste and vent system to be connected to the sewer line prior to the initial test. Once the HubSett? test coupling has been properly installed and inspected, the entire system maybe covered, allowing the builder to complete all groundwork from sidewalk to landscaping. Upon passing inspection, the HubSett? test dome is easily removed with one quick pull on the release cord, allowing water to flow into the sewer. The HubSett? test coupling now functions as any other coupling, and does not need to be removed. HubSett? test couplings are available for horizontal testing. HubSett?test couplings can be pre-assembled in cleanout fittings in the shop prior to taking them to the job site, to save assembly time in the field. |
