The Tip is 'Don't procrastinate' For years I've been buying ink jet cartridges from a big box office supply store. These cartridges were made overseas and labeled with the well-known brand of a large American printer company. One I remembered a local store that advertised quality cartridges. I had traveled by this local store hundreds of times but never stopped. This time I stopped at the local store. To my surprise I discovered that they carried the cartridge I needed and it was a Made in USA cartridge. Made in Chicago, to be precise, and it was half the price of the imported ones I had been buying for years. The quality is exceptional and they last longer too. Who knew? After that experience, I make a point to stop at every store I can. By doing so, I've been finding more and more Made in America products. Occasionally the clerks don't know the country of origin; this can be discouraging but finding the origin information yourself isn't difficult I've come to realize. Believe it not, there are actually a number of computers made in the US including laptops made in the USA. When the label is not visibly displayed I use the other Made in America buying tips to help me find Made in US. If the store doesn't carry what you are looking for, use Made in America Secrets to find it and tell the manager about your experience at their store. If enough people are asking for Made in America products stores will begin to carry them. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by American Made Solutions Nate's American Made Store was created as a single source where you can find American made products. 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 |
