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 Bar Keepers Friend In 1882, an Indianapolis chemist noticed how clean and shiny his tarnished pot was after cooking rhubarb. Using an active ingredient that's found in the plant he formulated a talcum-smooth cleanser and sold it to the city's taverns. So pleased were his customers with how well it worked on bar fixtures, the product was dubbed the Bar Keepers Friend. The same non-bleach formula that put a shine to the brass rails of taverns at the turn of the century is used in households today on stainless steel, porcelain and ceramic surfaces among many others. Today, Bar Keepers Friend is still made in Indianapolis and is found at retailers across the United States and in many other countries. Search the Internet using the words Bar Keepers Friend, clean and almost any surfaces such as tile, stainless steel or solid surface counters and find testimonials such as this posting from Emily at www.thriftyfun.com. Coffee stains on Corian? sinks can be removed fast and easy with a product called Bar Keeper's Friend. It's found in the cleaning aisle and is along the lines of a Comet? or Ajax? cleanser, but oh, so much better. It's my favorite household product. |
