The Tip is 'Where They're Proud' I recently saw an ad in our local newspaper for a big box home improvement store. Their newspaper ad had USA made products and American flags all over it. Several weeks later, I checked the ad again and sure enough they were still advertising their American made products. It was obvious they are proud to carry products Made in America. Their competitors made no mention of things Made in America. I have been to this store and asked what products are made in the USA? A clerk told me they primarily carry imports. Obviously they are not proud. I now realize you can buy many Made in the USA building supplies, including tools Made in USA and appliances Made in USA., in stores that are proud to carry brands Made in the USA. Here is another example of a store proudly carrying products Made in the USA. I was shopping for men's shoes in a local department store when I tried on three different pairs of shoes. I couldn't decide which pair I wanted so I went out on a limb and asked the clerk, "Are these shoes imports?" The salesman said "yes they are" so I asked, "Do you have any Made in America shoes like these?". To my surprise he said, with GREAT PRIDE, "yes sir, we have a whole line of Made In USA shoes". He brought me 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. Looking for companies that are PROUD is simple and can have a great impact on our country. I encourage you to try this some time- just ask. You will love it when you realize you are making a difference that all of us will benefit from. 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!
