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 Native American Market For the past twenty years it has been very important for me to represent Native American made jewelry honestly and to deal only in authentic, fine quality merchandise. Our motto is: We bring the West to you.kim-in-store.jpg Many people have asked me how I happened to be in the business of Native American jewelry. So here's my personal story: I come from some of the original pioneers of northwest Montana. In 1883 Great-grandmother Maggie was the only white woman for many miles and she, her husband and five children had many personal encounters with the original settlers of the area- the Blackfeet Indians. I hope to write about their experiences one day. One of their sons, my Grandfather Wallace, held many positions during his life. He was best known as undersheriff, but he also was a range rider, rounding up wild horses. He drove cattle and owned a saloon among other endeavors. As a child he was briefly kidnapped by some Indians, but fortunately it was just a game to them. He was a real Western cowboy. Mother was born in Shelby when there was still no running water or electricity in town. She was named Garnet, after that beautiful wine red gemstone. Her hair was black and she was very dark skinned. (I take after my fair Scotch-Irish father.) Anyway, all of my family lives west of the Mississippi. Mother wore turquoise and my sister, who lives in and absolutely loves, Arizona, always has too. So the west is in my blood, and the love of all things Native American made. Enjoy perusing our offerings, and if you have any questions I'll do my best to answer them.
