The Tip is 'Where They're Proud' I recently saw an ad in our local newspaper for a big box home improvement store. Their newspaper ad had USA made products and American flags all over it. Several weeks later, I checked the ad again and sure enough they were still advertising their American made products. It was obvious they are proud to carry products Made in America. Their competitors made no mention of things Made in America. I have been to this store and asked what products are made in the USA? A clerk told me they primarily carry imports. Obviously they are not proud. I now realize you can buy many Made in the USA building supplies, including tools Made in USA and appliances Made in USA., in stores that are proud to carry brands Made in the USA. Here is another example of a store proudly carrying products Made in the USA. I was shopping for men's shoes in a local department store when I tried on three different pairs of shoes. I couldn't decide which pair I wanted so I went out on a limb and asked the clerk, "Are these shoes imports?" The salesman said "yes they are" so I asked, "Do you have any Made in America shoes like these?". To my surprise he said, with GREAT PRIDE, "yes sir, we have a whole line of Made In USA shoes". He brought me the same color and style with the Made in USA label. These Made in America shoes were less expensive, came with a better warranty, and were more comfortable. Looking for companies that are PROUD is simple and can have a great impact on our country. I encourage you to try this some time- just ask. You will love it when you realize you are making a difference that all of us will benefit from. With your help America will be ours again and that is a good thing.

They each had their own set of problems that were brought to the table, leading to their mission that continues to fuel their passion in what they do. Theraganics products are handcrafted by them from scratch using many organic luxury base oils and are superior performing. The addition of clays, herbs, teas, and real fruits/veggies makes each product truly unique and purposeful. Stephanie suffered from facial and body acne for most of her pre-teen through adult life. It affected her self esteem and she just about had given up with the idea of getting rid of her troubled skin after using everything in the main stream retail market. It wasn't until she decided to make her own soap did she realize she had stumbled upon something wonderful that helped her skin like nothing else had before. Her mission and focus became to help others and spread the word about using natural soap and minimizing the use of unnecessary ingredients. After perfecting her recipes over the course of several years, she took her products to market and has received nothing but rave reviews from loyal repeat customers. Jennifer gave birth to a wonderful baby boy named Luke in April of 2005. Luke developed normally until about 18 months when he stopped talking and started showing signs that something was wrong. He was later diagnosed with autism, which explained his many sensory problems. He was sensitive to sounds and smells, and had allergic reactions to many common bath products. Jennifer started using some of Stephanie's soap on her son. Surprisingly, Luke enjoyed the scents and his skin did not have any bad reactions. Her mission then became to spread the word about the benefits of avoiding unnecessary chemicals in our everyday lives and to tell Luke's story in an effort to help families affected by autism. |
