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. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Vermont Flannel We're a family-owned business - a husband and wife team. Working with a committed team of employees, we have been hand-cutting and sewing most Vermont Flannel products at our East Barre, Vermont, location for more than 20 years. We're dedicated to comfort and feel confident our dedication is evident in each piece of Vermont Flannel clothing we sew. We hope you'll enjoy Vermont Flannel clothing as much as we do. At Vermont Flannel our flannel is yarn dyed first and then woven to our specifications. Vermont Flannel is a tighter weave than most other flannels. Therefore it does not shrink like regular flannel. It has a shrinkage rate of about 3-5%. That is why Vermont Flannel products look great and offer the same comfortable fit wash after wash. We brush our Vermont flannel on both sides. Brushing flannel on both sides helps guarantee Vermont Flannel feels ultra soft, on the inside and out. We make this extra effort because your comfort is important to us. We want you to enjoy the softest flannel possible. Vermont Flannel products are hand-cut and sewn in the U.S.A. We personally oversee the fabrication of each product to guarantee the quality meets our high standards. We sew our products with more stitches per inch and bar tack all products at stress points for added strength. All Vermont Flannel products are safety stitched for extra strength. We're dedicated to comfort and quality, and that's why we remain committed to making our products in the U.S.A. |
