The Tip is 'Watch What You Eat' While in the grocery store recently I noticed that the apples were from South America. Next to South American apples were a bin of apples labeled Made in USA. I decided to go with the Made in America apples since they were US grown. Always remember the Big Secret- buying more American made products helps put Americans back to work. It will guide you to food you will want to eat that is grown with US labor. If you just take a moment to look and think before you buy, it is likely you will find what you are looking for. Also, be careful because sometimes labels are not what they seem. Some companies use the letters USA to fool you into thinking they are American products. Trust only those products that literally claim their country of origin. Look for labeling like: Product of USA, Made in USA, Grown in USA, or other definitive markings. And last, when you begin the journey of purposely identifying American products keep in mind that it may take a little time but the more you look the easier it becomes. You will start to remember which brands are made in the USA and which aren't. This knowledge makes it easy and will accumulate over time. Some food items are not grown in the USA and you will learn that too. The Big Secret tells us we don't need to purchase everything from USA manufacturers just a little more than we are accustom to. If you can average $200 a month more on domestic purchases than you otherwise would it adds up fast. $2,400 a year is equivalent to 7 MILLION new American jobs. We believe that is a good thing.

Our Mission God. Family. Country. Company History In October 1996, Mike Hensley realized that there was a tremendous need for a domestic source that could get these products back to first quality condition, expedite the repairs and return of these products to the distributor while ensuring a viable, economically sound, alternative to its customer. It was because of this need, and a desire to build a company around this need, that Hensley approached Mr. Hugh T. Wallace, who became a co-owner and equal partner in this endeavor. That is when World Class Footwear Repair Service, Inc. was founded. Since our inception, we have been providing services and performed repairs on hundreds of thousands of pairs of shoes, boots and leather products for dozens of clients. Due to Wallace's expertise in footwear manufacturing and Hensley's expertise in pattern engineering, in January of 2000 the company decided to diversify to include Component Manufacturing and Product Engineering Services. This expansion of services proved to be a successful move for World Class Footwear Repair Service, Inc. In the following 3 years, while continuing to excel in repair services our endeavors began to transition our main business more toward manufacturing services. In late 2003, we signed a 5 year ongoing manufacturing contract. Due to the size and length of the job we needed a larger workspace. In February 2004, Along with the move into a new building, over 4 times larger than our original location, to reflect our expanding service base a new name was created, Allegiance Footwear, Inc. In mid 2007, we began production on our very own line of boots. The Allegiance Footwear Factory Store and our online storefront AFboots.com launched in November 2007 with three different styles and several various colors, each complete with waterproof and insulated construction. |
