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. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Sittin Easy Located in Eagle Springs, NC, Sittin' Easy is the creation of Walter Harper who earned his master's degree in Industrial Arts and Product Design at N.C. State University. He taught Industrial Arts, and designed and made furniture for several companies before founding Sittin' Easy in 1978. While researching the furniture market, Harper noticed that there were no new porch swings on the market which met his criteria of comfort and durability. The comfort of his furniture is the result of dozens of trial and error designs before coming up with just the right curvature using flexible yet strong slats. The results revolutionized the porch swing market where many failed attempts have been made at duplicating such innovation. From the beginning, his research on durability took him to antique shops and museums where he found items lasting over 100 years in the weather were traditionally made of White Oak. Thus, from the onset, top grade kiln-dried White Oak has been the cornerstone of his company. While new pieces are added to the line occasionally, the basic quality, durability and style remain the same so that customers can add to their collection through the years. Owners Walter and his wife Kim market Sittin' Easy furniture through grass roots methods which include: the web, retail stores, craft shows, catalogs, and distributors world wide. |
