The Tip is 'Don't procrastinate' For years I've been buying ink jet cartridges from a big box office supply store. These cartridges were made overseas and labeled with the well-known brand of a large American printer company. One I remembered a local store that advertised quality cartridges. I had traveled by this local store hundreds of times but never stopped. This time I stopped at the local store. To my surprise I discovered that they carried the cartridge I needed and it was a Made in USA cartridge. Made in Chicago, to be precise, and it was half the price of the imported ones I had been buying for years. The quality is exceptional and they last longer too. Who knew? After that experience, I make a point to stop at every store I can. By doing so, I've been finding more and more Made in America products. Occasionally the clerks don't know the country of origin; this can be discouraging but finding the origin information yourself isn't difficult I've come to realize. Believe it not, there are actually a number of computers made in the US including laptops made in the USA. When the label is not visibly displayed I use the other Made in America buying tips to help me find Made in US. If the store doesn't carry what you are looking for, use Made in America Secrets to find it and tell the manager about your experience at their store. If enough people are asking for Made in America products stores will begin to carry them.

We Use the Highest Quality Magnetic Beads WHAT ARE MAGNETIC BEADS? We use the highest quality permanent magnetic beads for our magnetic bracelets & necklaces. Commonly called magnetic hematite, hematine or magnetite, most magnetic beads are actually composed of high quality permanent ferrimagnetic ceramic compounds derived from hard ferrite iron oxides from hematite and/or magnetite plus other oxides that are fired, milled, pressed & re-fired into formed material retaining properties as high coercivity [resistant to demagnetizing] with high remanence [holding the magnetism], while being magnetic flux conducive & having high magnetic permeability. The formed composites are finished by polishing for a natural look or plated by: coating the magnetic beads with pearl dust, mother-of-pearl dips, plating with sterling silver, copper or gold, acrylic coatings and even hand-painted with cloisonne patterns to name a few. |
