The Tip is 'Manufacturer's sites' I recently ran out of my favorite pancake syrup. I loved the brand we had been using but when I went to the grocery store, I couldn't find it. The syrup was made in Indiana and I was living in Florida at the time. I tried unsuccessfully to find it on an internet. The manufacturer is small and their products are not readily available so I thought I would try their website. They did, in fact, have their own internet store so I ordered it directly from them. Now, I always buy their made in USA maple syrup from their website and never run out. Made in America Secrets has thousands of made in USA products offered by hundreds of small manufacturers. These small Made in America companies are a large contributor to our economy. In fact, according to the 2008 US Census Bureau small businesses, those employing 1 to 99 employees comprise 98% of all the USA businesses. This is equivalent to 5.8 million businesses that employee 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. Use this web site to for a list of products made in the US- especially since it is likely that a small US manufacturer employs someone you know- your husband, wife, children, or grandchildren. When using Google to search for Made in America products often times these small made in the United States businesses never show up on page one- and most folks don't look past page one. What does this mean? The consumer has a difficult time locating that US made product. Made in America Secrets was conceived to provide a solution to that problem. As an example search for motorcycles Made in America using Google and you will likely miss many of the companies that make this country great. Use Made in America Secrets for the search and you will likely find a hidden jewel. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Lloyd Prins Guitars With so many guitar companies to choose from, we thought the following information would be helpful as you consider a Lloyd Prins for your next purchase: Ask anyone outside the U.S. and they'll tell you the best guitars in the world are made in U.S.A. We think that's important and that's why all of the guitars offered by the Lloyd Prins Guitar Company are made right here in the U.S. Our bodies and necks come from trees grown in the northwest, our pickups come from U.S. manufacturers, our strings are made in the U.S. and our pots, switches and controls, all U.S. (we like keeping our manufacturing dollars here at home). Alot of custom builders claim to build their own stuff, but in reality they purchase bodies and necks from generic suppliers. At the Lloyd Prins Guitar Company we purchase our own wood, write our own programs, and machine our own bodies and necks IN HOUSE on our HAAS Verticle Mill. This lets us price more comptetively and gives us the freedom to build that custom you've scribbled out on a napkin. We do a lot of things really right, but our custom graphics . . . . . . ROCK! And we're not locked in to our own designs. If you've got an idea for a killer graphic, sketch it out and fax it to us. In most cases, we can do it for $300 or less. We love graphics! We don't make pickups, bridges or tuners. We leave that to the people who do, and do them best. GHS strings, Lindy Fralin pickups, EMG pickups, Original Floyds, and Sperzel locking tuners are a few of the premium parts that go into the building of your Lloyd Prins Guitar. We've evaluated a lot of strings and string companies, and in each case, GHS comes out on top. GHS Boomers are our preferred strings and used exclusively on every guitar that we ship. |
