The Tip is 'Made In America Secrets' We needed some new towels recently and I remembered coming across your website. I thought I would give it a quick search to see if there were any Made in America towels sold nearby. It just so happened that when I did the search, I found there was a nearby reseller listed who carried the particular Made in the USA towels I wanted. We bought the towels and, not surprisingly, they are both more absorbent and better looking than I thought. Made in America Secrets has thousands of products made in America offered by hundreds of small manufacturers. These small companies are a big contributor to our economy. According to one study small businesses (those employing 1 to 99 employees) comprise 98% of all the USA businesses. That's equivalent to 5.8 million businesses employing 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. I now use this site to search for small companies especially since more than likely it is a small company that employs someone I know- my wife, my children, my friends. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Granite Industries The LiftAlone was invented to allow one person to easily install drywall ceilings. I put a second floor addition on my house several years ago and since I did every thing myself. I installed an acoustical ceiling. It was easy to measure, snap a chalk line, install the rails, then drop in the FRP panels. The panels were easy to score or cut with a standard utility knife and provided average sound control. It was time to remodel and my wife said she was tired of the commercial grade ceiling that looked like something you would find in schools or offices. Removal was easy since the panels were lighter than regular gypsum board. I knew the standard application for a residential ceiling involved using sheetrock. By adding some metal studs, extra insulation, blue board and plaster I was able to create some interesting ceilings which were very sound proof. Of coarse all this was made possible by the LiftAlone. I am not a builder or even a plasterer but I saw the potential and filed the patent. After receiving the patent I found many other applications for my LiftAlone. It has been used to install many ceiling fans, light fixtures, garage door openers, and ceiling medallions. LiftAlone is used by Habitat for Humanity in SW Florida to replace ceilings in homes tainted by Chinese drywall. LiftAlone has also been used by HydroLab in Cicero Indiana were US and Canadian contractors learn to repair flood damaged homes. Since water damage can lead to mold growth, ceilings need to be replaced and LiftAlone makes it an easy one man job. LiftAlone is a favorite tool for basement finishers. Not only does it hold the sheet- rock, it also holds framing lumber and HVAC duct work. A companion product called the RockRoller has since been developed. It will change the way you move large panels of sheetrock. When loaded it is only 6 inches wide so it even travels thru studded walls. It is another favorite with the folks at Habitat for Humanity here in SW Florida. RockRoller is patent pending. Both the RockRoller and LiftAlone are proudly made in the USA by Granite Industries of Archbold Ohio, buy American whenever you can. |
