The Tip is 'Before You Buy'

Made in America Secrets tries to send you to internet stores that sell the Made In USA products you searched for. We try to link you directly to only Made In USA products, however sometimes this does not happen. When you click our banner / link ads the store we link you to may show you products that are imported alongside those that are Made In USA. We all know most retailers sell products that are made and come from all over the world including the USA. Therefore, our tip is look at the details before you buy the product. This is true for both brick and mortar stores and internet retailers. Any Made in America store that represents selling only Made in USA products can be believed but check them anyway. They will appreciate your help. Here is a great example of a very reputable Made in America Store.

Our site is similar to a few others that I call "Indexers". These sites offer lists like an index. These indexes relate companies to the products they sell. There are a few, like this site, that provide an index of Made in America companies and their products. You can use the indexes (like I have done at times) to find a particular product and the companies that make it. Our site has many features like our buy tips that are unique and valuable. We add buying tips regularly so don't forget to check them out, as they will help you find and buy great Made In America products.

Some of these sites are a good resource if you are looking for the manufacturer of a specific product. However you should first check their accuracy because some are not maintained as well as others. Some allow inaccurate and inappropriate ads, others like Made In America Secrets maintain the accuracy of their indexes and do not allow inappropriate advertisements.

We continually try to improve our links and we solicit your help and ideas to make our site even better. You can contact us by email, mail, or phone and we will try our very best to respond promptly.

We really are blacksmiths, guys with big arms. Our work is hand forged red hot at the anvil as smiths have done for centuries. But this is the 21st century, so we must define our mission:

Brandywine Forge Mission Statement-An honest product at a fair wage.
functional shutters
Functional wood shutters and hardware were expensive but necessary exterior appointments on the widows of historic homes. Initially, ground floor shutters provided security against attack by Indians and roaming brigands. Outdoor shutters also served as a first barrier against winter winds and summer sun ? important considerations when a wood fire was the only available interior climate control. As our colonial cities grew homes became more densely packed with pedestrian traffic at the door stoop, exterior shutters were closed and locked to provide privacy from passersby and neighbors.

shutter example
shutter example
Classic American architectural styles were heavily influenced by the exterior shutters common to all. The size and location of the windows was in large part determined by the exterior wooden shutters that would cover the windows. Sufficient room had to be left between adjacent windows to allow for their shutters to rest against the exterior when open - without over-lapping each other. The relationship between window size and separation and the fabric of the shutters between contributed much to the balance and symmetry inherent in classic American homes.
