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 Starr Hi, I'm David Brim, owner of Brown Manufacturing and passionate bottle opener manufacturer. Founded in the late 1990's, www.BottleOpener.com started as an advertising website for Brown Manufacturing Company. It has since evolved into the retail and wholesale division of Brown Manufacturing Company. The site also includes historical information on the company and its bottle openers. About Brown Mfg. Company Back in the days when most beverages were sold in glass bottles, there was a need for a bottle opener that would not crack or break the bottle. In 1925, Raymond Coca-Cola Brown, an owner of several bottling plants, started Brown Manufacturing in Newport News, Virginia. This company held some of the original patents for a bottle opener that would become internationally renowned for its quality. Over the years, STARR bottle openers have become collectible because of their long history, trademark and variety of designs. Today these bottle openers are still produced by Brown Mfg. Company for bottlers, breweries, wholesalers, distributors, retailers and other manufacturers. We believe that Brown Mfg. Company is the oldest bottle opener manufacturer in the USA, if not the world! Brown Manufacturing is currently located in Decatur--near Atlanta, Georgia, USA |
