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.

Garland Writing Instruments, formerly Lew Manufacturing Co., was founded in 1927 by Louis Lanoie. The company got its start by manufacturing small presses that led to the design and development of the internal pen mechanism later used by many of the major pen and pencil manufacturers throughout the United States and Europe. In the 60's, Lew Manufacturing started making complete pens and pencils and changed its name to Garland Industries. Garland became a charter member of the ASI (Advertising Specialty Institute) in 1965. Garland is proud of its many notable accomplishments and is one of the original designers and patent holders for the twist action pen mechanism. Garland products have flown on both the Apollo moon missions and many of the Space Shuttle missions. In 1969 Garland developed the Photo Top pen to provide exceptional promotional value. The Flare Top design and the Photo Top Pen are registered Trademarks of the Becker Manufacturing Company and has become a unique signature of our writing instruments. The Becker Manufacturing Company purchased Garland Writing Instruments in May of 2013 and continues the tradition of manufacturing a high quality product in the USA with an emphasis on using local suppliers and community involvement. |
