The Tip is 'Ask Before You Buy' I went to a department store for a pair of dress shoes recently. The clerk helped me with three different pairs that I tried on. 'The Big Secret' was on the forefront of my mind so I asked, "Are these shoes imports?" The salesman responded that they were in fact imported. "Do you have any Made In America shoes like these?" I asked. To my surprise he said, "We have a whole line of Made In USA shoes." I was able to purchase 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. It's amazing how often this simple Made in US question yields unexpected and often times pleasant results. I now ask this question regularly, whereas before I would not have thought to ask for a Made in America alternative. More often than not, I can find a Made in America product of higher quality and at the same, or slightly higher price. Asking the question is so simple and can make a positive impact, in both the short and long term. Try it sometime. If you are like me, you may be surprised with how many Made in US products are out there. You will love it when you realize you are making a difference that benefits many. With your help America will be ours again and that is a good thing. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Wayne Automation Wayne Automation Corporation, a privately held corporation, started building innovative, quality packaging machinery in 1976. The company's principles came from a background in the design and manufacture of paper converting machinery. Recognizing the trends of the packaging industry at the time, the company began by building machines to automate the assembly and insertion of partitions along with automatic case erectors and tray formers. Due to the rugged construction and reliable performance of the Wayne equipment, our systems became a popular choice in the glass and plastic container industry where 24/7 operation demanded our caliber of equipment. Recognizing that manufacturers buying their containers in bulk and those not using containers also needed the same quality of machinery, Wayne began designing and building packaging solutions for companies from food and beverage to chemical and petroleum to household and personal care products. Through this outgrowth, Wayne's packaging technology became some of the most innovative in the industry, and that creativity continues today. We offer the highest speeds in case erecting. We are the premier supplier of partition handling equipment and offer capabilities beyond any other machinery on the market. We have taken this technology to greater heights by offering case and tray packing systems which incorporate the insertion of partitions around containers positioned on the wraparound, case, or tray. And our tray formers accommodate more tray styles than any other manufacturer. Always staying true to our commitment to providing our customers with reliable packaging machinery, our use of advanced electronics make each system a smart machine. Operators can easily communicate with the equipment while built-in sensors provide valuable feedback throughout the packaging process. To prove our confidence in our reliability, Wayne provides a written guarantee that all equipment will run at 99% efficiency with less than 1/8 of 1% material loss. Wayne Automation Corporation is located outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, approximately three miles from the historic Valley Forge Park. The facility is an easy 40 minute commute from the Philadelphia International Airport. |
