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.

Having a round table ourselves, we found it very difficult to find See More Wedge Placemats by Sweet Pea Linens!placemats that didn't hang over the edges of the table. So, we developed the wedge-shaped placemat, which fits beautifully on round and oval tables. We felt that if we needed specially designed placemats for our round table, other people must need them as well. After much marketing, we sold our product to a well known catalog. The response was very good and they began offering them on a regular basis. The business expanded to add additional catalogs and in 2002 we began hiring sales representatives, which now sell our products in various parts of the United States.
