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 Peerless Premier Appliance Peerless-Premier Appliance Co. is the result of a merger by two compatible manufacturers of gas and electric ranges and the acquisition of segments of two other range companies. Premier Stove Company, founded in 1912, manufactured cast iron, coal and wood stoves at its inception. Later the company marketed a combination coal and gas range. As gas became an important source of fuel, Premier developed a complete gas range line. A full array of electric ranges was engineered as electric cooking grew in popularity. Peerless Enamel Products Company was organized in 1928 to answer the demand for porcelain enamel by the numerous stove companies then located in the Belleville, Illinois area. The highly efficient operation soon led to the stamping of range parts and the addition of a tool and die shop. Assembly lines were later added as Peerless began to build modern gas and electric ranges for private label accounts. A new era began in November 1975 when Peerless acquired all capital stock of Premier. Premier functioned as a wholly owned subsidiary of Peerless until January of 1982, when the two companies consolidated to form the Peerless-Premier Appliance Co. The resulting growth allowed the manufacturing facilities and tooling of Eagle Range to be purchased in 1981. The expansion was a natural with the two manufacturing plants located immediately adjacent to one another. As more consolidations took place in the appliance industry for greater efficiencies, Peerless-Premier purchased the sales division of Orbon Appliance Corporation in 1985. The company marketed ranges under the Premier, Eagle, Modern Chef, Mark Royal and Heritage by Orbon labels as well as several private brands. In 1986, the company was sold to a group of private investors and it continues to function as one of the few remaining independent range manufacturers in the United States. In 1990, the company acquired assets of Top Shelf and began manufacturing the exclusive accessory for convenient location of a microwave oven on 20, 24 and 30 ranges. Capitalizing on the trend toward professional style ranges, two Premier Pro Series stainless steel models, a 24 and 30, were introduced during the fall of 2000. Following the successful launching of these two models, the company expanded the Pro Series line with a 36 six burner in early 2001. Today, Peerless-Premier is a complete manufacturer, designing and making its own tools and dies, stamping parts and applying porcelain enamel to the raw steel parts and then assembling those parts into modern gas and electric ranges in 20, 24, 30and 36 widths. The facilities are housed under one roof, taking up an area of two square blocks in the city of Belleville, Illinois. The Belleville area has long been known for the skill and craftsmanship of its workers. We have dedicated ourselves to the tradition of providing quality and value combined with conscientious service to our customers. |
