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.

Jim Ugone, president, discovered through his own passion for gardening, a singular solution to multiple tasks by creating an all-in-one watering can for his gardening needs. In seeking to eliminate his frustration with the inconvenience of using fertilizers, he developed a brand new way to simplify watering and fertilizing. A graduate of the Stockbridge School of Agriculture and the University of Massachusetts, Ugone also earned a master's degree in vocational education from the University of New Hampshire. He taught vocational horticulture for nearly ten years before entering the world of finance. His first company, which he later sold, was an insurance agency serving many in the horticulture field. His current successful venture, which he still owns and operates today, is a financial management investment firm. As a professional investment advisor, I garden to relieve the stress from my job as many Americans do. During my hours spent gardening I'm always thinking of ways to make it easier and more enjoyable. The U CAN was born out of personal experience and necessity, Ugone notes. |
