The Tip is 'Where They're Proud' I recently saw an ad in our local newspaper for a big box home improvement store. Their newspaper ad had USA made products and American flags all over it. Several weeks later, I checked the ad again and sure enough they were still advertising their American made products. It was obvious they are proud to carry products Made in America. Their competitors made no mention of things Made in America. I have been to this store and asked what products are made in the USA? A clerk told me they primarily carry imports. Obviously they are not proud. I now realize you can buy many Made in the USA building supplies, including tools Made in USA and appliances Made in USA., in stores that are proud to carry brands Made in the USA. Here is another example of a store proudly carrying products Made in the USA. I was shopping for men's shoes in a local department store when I tried on three different pairs of shoes. I couldn't decide which pair I wanted so I went out on a limb and asked the clerk, "Are these shoes imports?" The salesman said "yes they are" so I asked, "Do you have any Made in America shoes like these?". To my surprise he said, with GREAT PRIDE, "yes sir, we have a whole line of Made In USA shoes". He brought me the same color and style with the Made in USA label. These Made in America shoes were less expensive, came with a better warranty, and were more comfortable. Looking for companies that are PROUD is simple and can have a great impact on our country. I encourage you to try this some time- just ask. You will love it when you realize you are making a difference that all of us will benefit from. With your help America will be ours again and that is a good thing. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by No Feathers Please Hello and welcome to NoFeathersPlease.com! As a flight attendant I've spent years sleeping on questionable (to put it mildly) bedding in some dusty hotel rooms. Since I have allergies, I especially wanted a healthy bedroom at home as free from irritants and dust mites as I could find. So I began a long search for bedding that was not only free of down and feathers but also hypoallergenic, chemical and pesticide free. That turned out to be much more challenging and difficult than I thought. As I've learned, there are lots of sort of organic bedding lines out there and many are not completely or truly organic, not all natural fibers (like cotton or wool), not chemical and pesticide free, or they had those darn feathers and down in them. Often they came from places that did not always practice and maintain healthy or environmentally sound growing, harvesting or manufacturing standards. It's taken some time, but I've found several wonderful, all natural, truly organic, safe and pure lines of amazing bedding and launched NoFeathersPlease.com in 2006. Not only are these lines of bedding certified organic, but manufactured to the highest standards of testing and safety available today. Most of the products are made right here in the USA from US components. So sleep better and feel doubly good about your organic bedding purchase. Not only are you purchasing amazing bedding, but each month proceeds from sales by our customers are donated to our local Project Wildlife chapter and Green America's Sustainability Circle. I love these great organic bedding products and think you will too! Thank you for purchasing from NoFeathersPlease.com, helping us give and for supporting organic living standards and USA made products! |
