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 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!
