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.

Terry Armstrong and Lew Hayden took that adage to heart when they started San Antonio Shoemakers (SAS) back in the 1970s. They put in superb craftsmanship. They put in a passion for perfection and pride of ownership. And, most importantly, they put in unwavering commitment to their vision. That vision was simple. To make the most comfortable, high-quality leather shoes around. As a result of all that our founders put in, what has come out is nearly 40 years of American ingenuity. What started in an old airport hangar on the south side of San Antonio has grown into an international brand. Today and every day we stay true to our founders' vision, proudly handcrafting comfortable and high-quality leather shoes in the USA. Although SAS has grown to be sold around the world, each new pair is treated the same way it was the day we opened our doors for business ? as if it's the only pair we make. |
