The Tip is 'Labeling Tip 1' Know Your Labeling - For products Made in America, the greater the US content the more American jobs required to produce it. So whenever possible choose the product with the highest percentage of U.S.content. US content must be disclosedon Made in USA textiles, automobiles, wool, and fur products. There is no law requiringmost other products to be marked or labeled made in USA, or, have any otherdisclosure about their amount of U.S. content. Those manufacturers and marketers who choose to make claims about the amount of U.S. content must comply with the FTC's Made in USA policy. Note: Imported products must have the country of origin on their label whileproducts partially Made in USA do not. For a product produced in the U.S. to be labeled made in USA, or claimed to beof domestic origin without qualifications or limits on the claim, the product must be all or virtually all made in the U.S. This would mean that all significant parts and processing that go into the product are of U.S. origin. The product should contain no (or negligible) foreign content. Made in the USA products create the greatest number of American jobs for our country. This is because the labor to produce the product, and the raw materials that go into the product, are created with American labor. For most products, there is no law requiring made in America labels, or any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on the label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. The product without the country origin on its label has some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not.

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. With this expansion we have added the traditional rectangular placemats, center round placemats/chargers, chair cushion pads, napkins and other tabletop accessories.
