The Tip is 'Watch What You Eat' While in the grocery store recently I noticed that the apples were from South America. Next to South American apples were a bin of apples labeled Made in USA. I decided to go with the Made in America apples since they were US grown. Always remember the Big Secret- buying more American made products helps put Americans back to work. It will guide you to food you will want to eat that is grown with US labor. If you just take a moment to look and think before you buy, it is likely you will find what you are looking for. Also, be careful because sometimes labels are not what they seem. Some companies use the letters USA to fool you into thinking they are American products. Trust only those products that literally claim their country of origin. Look for labeling like: Product of USA, Made in USA, Grown in USA, or other definitive markings. And last, when you begin the journey of purposely identifying American products keep in mind that it may take a little time but the more you look the easier it becomes. You will start to remember which brands are made in the USA and which aren't. This knowledge makes it easy and will accumulate over time. Some food items are not grown in the USA and you will learn that too. The Big Secret tells us we don't need to purchase everything from USA manufacturers just a little more than we are accustom to. If you can average $200 a month more on domestic purchases than you otherwise would it adds up fast. $2,400 a year is equivalent to 7 MILLION new American jobs. We believe that is a good thing. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Vermettlifts Vermette Machine Company Inc. was established in 1947. The one and only employee, Howard H Vermette, was owner, product designer and manager. The first product was a power pipe threading machine, used by hardware stores and the plumbing trade. Our first location was in a 20 ft. x 30 ft. garage with a second floor. In 1952 we moved into a 50 ft. x 50 ft. one story building. At that time the business was incorporated. Today after many additions to the building, it now covers 42,000 sq. ft. From the original pipe threading machine manufactured, we changed to a portable electric power drive for the plumbing trade. later, copper tubing and plastic pipe began to replace a large percentage of threaded steel pipe, thus reducing the market for these products. Our present products, since 1962 are hand operated fork lifts for lifting and installation of materials used by heating, air conditioning, refrigeration, electrical, plumbing and general contractors in commercial and industrial buildings. Howard ran the company until the time of his death in 1984, his wife Floy ran the company until the time of her death in 1999. Today the company is proudly owned and operated by the employees. Sales are in all 50 of the United States and in 53 foreign countries. |
