The Tip is 'Keep eyes open' After reading an article about items made in America I thought about how many times I make purchases without thinking. I'm usually focused on budget and needs. Prior to reading this article on made in the USA products, I rarely thought about the importance of buying made in USA products. This helps create jobs in our country. Now I keep my eyes open and I am surprised how easy it is to find American products. It only takes a few seconds to look. Now I make a point when I am shopping to search for made in America brands. By doing so, I'm able to identify more and more what products are made in America. Even with my eyes open to made in USA I can get discouraged. Sometimes store clerks don't know the country of origin which can be frustrating. If this happens use your eyes to find the origin information yourself. Look at the labels and when you find a Made in USA product tell the clerk so the next time they are asked they will know. Also, when the label is not easily seen I use the other made in America buying tips to help me find made in USA. 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.

I do this because I have found that some stores are made in America friendly while others are not. Keep your eyes open for the made in USA label and pretty soon you will be able to identify which products are made in the USA.

Our boutique factory: made in USA Years ago, the mills of Lawrence, MA hummed with typical sounds and the familiar activity of manufactunng machines. All along the canal and Merrimac River, mills shared the energy and livelihood afforded by shoe making, apparel makers, paper and box mills, to name just a few. As manufacturers moved their production off shore, the mills became empty and mostly fell into disrepair and neglect. In 2001, we moved into a small comer of a mostly abandoned five-story mill set between the Lawrence canal and Merrimac River. Today, the mill is fully occupied with over fifty small businesses and a neighborhood college campus. Our textiles We canvas textile mills around the world for quality fabncs in unique patterns and color combinations that created distinctive, accessorizing effects like a scarf for your feet? ? all with an eye on the practicality of machine-washing and durability.
