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 RyRo Leo D. Gauthier III, President of RyRo, Inc. (Inventor of Sprinkler Buddy) As a lawn care professional, I have damaged my share of sprinkler heads. While walking the grounds of an apartment complex to submit a bid, I noticed several sprinkler heads placed in problem areas and many installed too high. Immediately, I thought this account would be a nightmare. With my experience servicing properties with irrigation systems such as this one but on a smaller scale, I knew this account would be a constant problem and a lot of down time repairing damaged sprinkler heads, caused from running them over with my mower tires. It was at that moment, I was blessed with the idea to solve this problem. The Sprinkler Buddy is a great tool for lawn care professionals like myself and homeowners with pop-up sprinkler irrigation systems installed. Keeping sprinkler heads visible, is the key to avoid accidentally running them over during routine lawn maintenance. |
