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. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Janesville Tool and Manufacturing Back in the late 1950s, George Gilman opened a machine shop in Janesville, Wisconsin. Like most machine shops back then, Janesville Tool and Manufacturing did a wide variety of general machining. But George was not only a good machinist, he was a talented inventor too. He often created special tooling and even special machines to make jobs faster, easier, and more profitable. Out of necessity, George built the first JT&M assembly press. It was a compact manual lever press that looked and worked like today's ILP-500. George Gilman was a perfectionist. He designed and built his assembly press to be extremely precise. But its real beauty was its versatility. George soon found that the lever press could be quickly adapted to many jobs around the shop. Now and then customers and friends stopped by and saw George's press. They were so impressed with George's press they often tried to buy it. Soon George was building presses and die sets for sale. Word-of-mouth advertising spread the reputation of the press far and wide. After a while, George was so busy making lever presses, he discontinued his general machining business. Twenty years later, the Roach family bought the company. Along with moving to larger quarters in a neighboring town, they expanded the number of manual presses to four and added several die sets to the line. In 1989, they added four pneumatic-powered presses to the line, and the rest is history. Today, the popularity of Janesville Tool and Manufacturing presses is greater than ever. We still adhere to the same strict standards of quality established by George Gilman. Our manufacturer-direct pricing and 24-hour shipping policies make our presses truly affordable and accessible. |
