The Tip is 'Labeling Tip 1' Know Your Labeling - For products Made in America, the greater the US content the more American jobs required to produce it. So whenever possible choose the product with the highest percentage of U.S.content. US content must be disclosedon Made in USA textiles, automobiles, wool, and fur products. There is no law requiringmost other products to be marked or labeled made in USA, or, have any otherdisclosure about their amount of U.S. content. Those manufacturers and marketers who choose to make claims about the amount of U.S. content must comply with the FTC's Made in USA policy. Note: Imported products must have the country of origin on their label whileproducts partially Made in USA do not. For a product produced in the U.S. to be labeled made in USA, or claimed to beof domestic origin without qualifications or limits on the claim, the product must be all or virtually all made in the U.S. This would mean that all significant parts and processing that go into the product are of U.S. origin. The product should contain no (or negligible) foreign content. Made in the USA products create the greatest number of American jobs for our country. This is because the labor to produce the product, and the raw materials that go into the product, are created with American labor. For most products, there is no law requiring made in America labels, or any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on the label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. The product without the country origin on its label has some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not.

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. |
