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.

Great care is used in the production of my cremation urns with attention to detail as my priority. Each urn is hand made, one at a time. I use the finest grades of hardwood available and I provide quality cremation urns to the public at a fair price. These cremation urns are not cheap stained woods. They are made from exotic or domestic, top quality, hardwoods. My large cremation urns are 250 cubic inches in size. All of my urns receive at least 8 coats of polyurethane protective coating in order to properly seal and protect the wood. The polyurethane also provides a beautiful luster that really brings out the natural grain. Polyurethane is UV resistant as well as resistant to soap and most cleansers. The lids on the lathe turned cremation urns are threaded for easy opening and closing, making the urns spill-proof. The rectangular cremation urns have a plate on the bottom held securely with screws. There is felt on the bottom of the urns to protect surfaces from scratching. I thoroughly inspect every cremation urn before it is sold. You will not find a better quality cremation urn for these prices. Cremation urns made from stamped steel, porcelain, or imported woods from China, do not compare to the quality of the hardwoods that I use in my products. I also make custom cremation urns. If you want to design your own cremation urn, select a basic shape (round or lathe turned), and type of wood. This allows you to build to order your cremation urn. The box shaped cremation urns can also be custom made to size. Email me with your design and wood types and I will send you a quote. There is no extra charge for custom made cremation urns. If you want a custom designed cremation urn, you can go to my wood source and choose from many different types of woods. All you have to do is let me know which wood you decide upon, I will order the wood and build your cremation urn. The web site is www.woodworkerssource.com |
