The Tip is 'Ask Before You Buy' I went to a department store for a pair of dress shoes recently. The clerk helped me with three different pairs that I tried on. 'The Big Secret' was on the forefront of my mind so I asked, "Are these shoes imports?" The salesman responded that they were in fact imported. "Do you have any Made In America shoes like these?" I asked. To my surprise he said, "We have a whole line of Made In USA shoes." I was able to purchase 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. It's amazing how often this simple Made in US question yields unexpected and often times pleasant results. I now ask this question regularly, whereas before I would not have thought to ask for a Made in America alternative. More often than not, I can find a Made in America product of higher quality and at the same, or slightly higher price. Asking the question is so simple and can make a positive impact, in both the short and long term. Try it sometime. If you are like me, you may be surprised with how many Made in US products are out there. You will love it when you realize you are making a difference that benefits many. With your help America will be ours again and that is a good thing.

We carry only products that are made here in the U.S.A. Our goods are made by your neighbors and your friends in communities just like yours. Our store celebrates America's craftsmanship, creativity, and innovation. I've looked for U.S. products in local stores and on the net, I can find them, but it's hard to do. Here at Nate's, wrapped up in one convenient online store, we bring you, soft goods, toys, tools, hardware, kitchenware, and more, all made here in America. Nate's American Made Store concept was conceived nearly 5 years ago, as I watched our factories close and jobs offshored. Through the years, I've listened to our politicians argue about what kind of economic stimulus and job bill would create the most jobs, all the while they created more free (not necessarily fair) trade agreements shipping more and more of our jobs to developing countries. The solution is slow to come from Washington, a grass roots answer is achievable?the American people have a choice to purchase products made here, at home, in the U.S.A. When buying an American made product you keep the jobs here and have the peace of mind knowing they were made under safe and fair working conditions. We value your input, tell us what you think and what kind of products you'd like us to carry. We'd love to hear from you. Larry Nate Noethlich |
