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 Coates Grills I remember as a kid, my father and grandfather cooking over an open pit. It was a family tradition and labor of love. We would spend time splitting the wood, carefully arrange a teepee, then light the coals and tend to them until hot. These steps were simply preparation. Next, we'd place a metal grate on top of the fire, and start cooking. There was no marinating, no steak rubs. The flavor of the wood and smoke was irresistible enough on its own. No matter how exceptional the food, it was never about the actual cooking, though. It was the experience of enjoyment and sharing, the many memories created that remain vivid for a lifetime. That is where the inspiration for Coates Grills came from ? I wanted to design a grill that looked unique, and allowed for a delicious and unforgettable experience. It has been a long journey, and one that encompassed a whole lot of research, testing and tweaking. I wanted to make sure every last detail of my grill would be the perfect fusion of beauty and functionality. For many, it has even become a favorite hobby to experiment with various woods in their custom Coates Grill. From oak, maple, hickory and mesquite to the fruitier woods such as wild cherry, apple or peach. This grill encourages you to want to cook - often, and with others! Sensational has never been so attainable! -Tom Coates |
