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 RW Conklin Steel Rolland William Conklin Jr. started R.W. Conklin Steel in 1983, after retiring from a 30-year career at U.S. Steel. He wanted to continue his career in the steel business, but he wanted to do it his way. As a U.S. medic aboard the U.S.S. Quincy in WWII, R.W. developed love for his country, and he wanted his business to represent the same respect he had for American made products. Today, R.W. Conklin still operates under the same principle ? we sell only 100% Melted and Manufactured Domestic Steel. Customer service was R.W.'s main priority. He knew it wasn't about creating a shorter supply chain, but a smarter supply chain, one that would connect him directly to the customer. He was able to build a loyal customer and vendor base by paying attention to customer needs and by providing a quality domestic steel. From the beginning, R.W., known as Pete concentrated on old-fashioned values. His son, Phil began working for the business by delivering pile points and splicers to customers, and started working officially for his father on a formal basis on Jan. 1, 1995. portrait Just a short time later (one year, three months and seven days), R.W. passed away unexpectedly. It was Phil's birthday, and also the day he took over the family business. With a background in accounting, finance, and marketing, Phil knew the in's and out's of business, and quickly learned how to sell steel. The company, which celebrated it's 25th anniversary in 2008, has continued to expand and achieve success throughout the years. Once ran as a one man-operation in a spare bedroom is now a large corporation with locations throughout the United States and Canada. What hasn't changed throughout the years, is R.W. Conklin's devotion to its customers and its ability to provide them with a wide variety of U.S-made steel products. All products meet the requirements of the Buy American Clause, which mandates steel is melted and manufactured in the U.S., when a project is either partially or fully funded by public funds. The company provides materials for a variety of bridge and earth retention projects including building foundations, both open-cell and closed-cell waterway projects and soundbarriers.
