The Tip is 'Made In America Secrets' We needed some new towels recently and I remembered coming across your website. I thought I would give it a quick search to see if there were any Made in America towels sold nearby. It just so happened that when I did the search, I found there was a nearby reseller listed who carried the particular Made in the USA towels I wanted. We bought the towels and, not surprisingly, they are both more absorbent and better looking than I thought. Made in America Secrets has thousands of products made in America offered by hundreds of small manufacturers. These small companies are a big contributor to our economy. According to one study small businesses (those employing 1 to 99 employees) comprise 98% of all the USA businesses. That's equivalent to 5.8 million businesses employing over 40 million people. Most American's are unaware of how significant small business is when compared to the total size of the US economy. This website is aware of it and that is why 99% of the businesses that advertise on Made in America Secrets are small businesses. I now use this site to search for small companies especially since more than likely it is a small company that employs someone I know- my wife, my children, my friends. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Bass & Hays Foundry Bass & Hays Foundry produced gray iron castings at its Grand Prairie location for many years. We represent only quality American made products, many bearing our trademarks. We are commitmed to Made in USA. Located in Grand Prairie Texas by the old US Naval Air Base, this was home to the Hays family. The land was purchased in 1924 by our founder, Marvin Hays. He apprenticed at Taylor Foundry in Wichita Falls Texas and was the foreman at Dallas Foundry in Dallas Texas. His son, Jack, apprenticed on a U.S. Navy tender ship in the Mediterranean in the 50's, and later worked at Dallas Foundry as a pattern maker where Don Bass was sales manager. Marvin's part-time home foundry had been operating for many years. In 1958, the three started Bass & Hays and they incorporated in 1966. Marvin's slogan on his business card was If it's cast iron, we make it. The original foundry's old wooden structure is still in use today as a warehouse and machine shop. The old Hays home is still there, and has been converted into Carl's Commercial Printing. The second foundry building built in 1965 is being used to manufacture American made Galvanized Meter Boxes. Today Bass & Hays has 14 employees, and are thriving local durable goods sales organization proudly representing Made in USA only. |
