The Tip is 'Manufacturer's sites' I recently ran out of my favorite pancake syrup. I loved the brand we had been using but when I went to the grocery store, I couldn't find it. The syrup was made in Indiana and I was living in Florida at the time. I tried unsuccessfully to find it on an internet. The manufacturer is small and their products are not readily available so I thought I would try their website. They did, in fact, have their own internet store so I ordered it directly from them. Now, I always buy their made in USA maple syrup from their website and never run out. Made in America Secrets has thousands of made in USA products offered by hundreds of small manufacturers. These small Made in America companies are a large contributor to our economy. In fact, according to the 2008 US Census Bureau small businesses, those employing 1 to 99 employees comprise 98% of all the USA businesses. This is equivalent to 5.8 million businesses that employee 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. Use this web site to for a list of products made in the US- especially since it is likely that a small US manufacturer employs someone you know- your husband, wife, children, or grandchildren. When using Google to search for Made in America products often times these small made in the United States businesses never show up on page one- and most folks don't look past page one. What does this mean? The consumer has a difficult time locating that US made product. Made in America Secrets was conceived to provide a solution to that problem. As an example search for motorcycles Made in America using Google and you will likely miss many of the companies that make this country great. Use Made in America Secrets for the search and you will likely find a hidden jewel. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Hide A Horse I wholeheartedly believe HideAHorse is the best folding sawhorse available, and I'm confident you'll agree once you use one. The concept grew from my frustration at being unable to find a lightweight, compact, folding saw horse that I could take to and from job sites. As a carpenter, I also wanted it to be as stable as a non folding sawhorse, very strong and durable, and, if possible, look professional. At first, I assumed I would be able to find what I needed at the building supply or hardware stores. What I found was a heavy collapsible metal sawhorse, a clumsy sheet metal model, unsatisfactory sawhorse brackets, and many flimsy, plastic sawhorses. On one shopping trip a passing customer remarked, If you're looking for good heavy duty sawhorses, don't buy any of those. I scoured the Internet in search of suitable sawhorses and still found nothing acceptable. It became clear that in order to get what I wanted I would have to learn how to build sawhorses. The full development process took about two-and-a-half years. Early on I realized that my sawhorse plans required a device to hold the legs on the beam while allowing them to change angles as they travel from a folded to set up position. Of course, other operational factors came into play, but that was the nexus. Thus, HideAHorse Sawhorses was born. The wooden design has an old-school quality, look, and feel, while still incorporating modern and innovative functionality. With a weight capacity of 1100 pounds, HideAHorse is perfect for the professional carpenter, drywall hanger, welder, painter, woodcrafter or handyman. Since it weighs in at only 7 1/2 pounds, it's the best choice for temporary craft tables, portable tables for trade shows or do-it-yourselfers, and anyplace portable workbenchs are needed. It even makes a great saddle rack. I'm thrilled every time I use my HideAHorse sawhorses, and I'm sure you'll be just as pleased with it.
