The Tip is 'Ask Before You Buy' I went to a department store for a pair of dress shoes recently. The clerk helped me with three different pairs that I tried on. 'The Big Secret' was on the forefront of my mind so I asked, "Are these shoes imports?" The salesman responded that they were in fact imported. "Do you have any Made In America shoes like these?" I asked. To my surprise he said, "We have a whole line of Made In USA shoes." I was able to purchase the same color and style with the Made In USA label. These Made in America shoes were less expensive, came with a better warranty and were more comfortable. It's amazing how often this simple Made in US question yields unexpected and often times pleasant results. I now ask this question regularly, whereas before I would not have thought to ask for a Made in America alternative. More often than not, I can find a Made in America product of higher quality and at the same, or slightly higher price. Asking the question is so simple and can make a positive impact, in both the short and long term. Try it sometime. If you are like me, you may be surprised with how many Made in US products are out there. You will love it when you realize you are making a difference that benefits many. With your help America will be ours again and that is a good thing. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by EZ Touring E-Z Touring was started in 1982 by my father, Jack Dempsey. He loved motorcycle touring, and he had an idea that a small, lightweight cover would be a great advantage ? but he couldn't find one. So he worked for weeks in his garage and he designed a cover. When he rode and used his cover, people would ask where he got it and where they could get one. He started making them for his friends and eventually a good idea became a company. My father passed away in 1990 doing what he loved. I know that he affected many lives in the motorcycle touring community and we always love to hear stories of Jack Dempsey when he was on the road. I took over the company in 1993 and moved it to Bend, Oregon, where I continued to follow his passion for motorcycling as a race official at professional bicycling events and an avid touring enthusiast. By logging thousands of miles each year on my motorcycle, I was able to constantly test and improve our products. Ready for a change, I returned to school, earned my master's degree in teaching, and I'm now a full-time high school teacher. But I will continue to ride every chance I get!
