The Tip is 'Email for list' I had always purchased a foreign made tennis shoe. However, after reading the Big Secret I changed. One day I needed a new pair and wondered if there were any tennis shoes Made In USA. I found a major brand that made theirs in the US. They do not make all of their shoes here but several options were available that have the Made In USA label. I looked around for awhile on the internet and could not find any reference that would help me find where to buy them. I then visited there website and emailed for a list of their Made In USA tennis shoes. A short time later I had a list. With the list in hand visited my local retailer. They carried the model I was interested in and now I have some Made In USA tennis shoes. They fit better than my foreign brand and I feel better wearing them.

This small but mighty studio has just two employees: about emu art tile Emily M. Ulm is the full-time tile designer and maker. She studied ceramics and sculpture at the University of Akron (BFA, Sculpture, 2003). After graduation, she toyed with the idea of going into art education, then surprised friends and family by announcing her intention to start an art tile company. As a career path, it appealed to her love of nature, passion for craft and interest in home improvement. When she married Darrell and changed her last name from Wilson to Ulm, her initials became E.M.U., which is how the business got the name Emu Tile. Her husband never doubted the company would be a success and became co-owner. Darrell Ulm helps out when he has time. He built and maintains the Emu Tile website using the open source content management system, Drupal. In addition, he has been known to photograph tiles, fix kilns, lift heavy things and clean the studio. Both creative and practical, he took classes in photography, filmmaking and painting as well as Computer Science in college. When Emily and Darrell are not working, they enjoy spending time outdoors, listening to old music, and hanging out with their delightfully cranky pet cat. |
