The Tip is 'Email for list' I had always purchased a foreign made tennis shoe. However, after reading the Big Secret I changed. One day I needed a new pair and wondered if there were any tennis shoes Made In USA. I found a major brand that made theirs in the US. They do not make all of their shoes here but several options were available that have the Made In USA label. I looked around for awhile on the internet and could not find any reference that would help me find where to buy them. I then visited there website and emailed for a list of their Made In USA tennis shoes. A short time later I had a list. With the list in hand visited my local retailer. They carried the model I was interested in and now I have some Made In USA tennis shoes. They fit better than my foreign brand and I feel better wearing them. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by WR Case and Sons Cutlery Company W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company is an American manufacturer of premium, hand-crafted knives that are passed down for generations. Based in Bradford, Pennsylvania, Case's offerings cover a wide range of product categories, from traditional folding pocket knives and fixed blade sporting knives to limited production commemoratives and collectables. The company's rich history began in 1889 when four brothers - William Russell (W.R.), Jean, John, and Andrew Case (a.k.a. The Case Brothers) began fashioning knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. W.R.'s son, John Russell (Russ) Case, a former salesman for the Case Brothers brand, launched W.R. Case & Sons around the turn of the 20th century. Russ's father acted as his son's consultant, helping to stabilize the company's early finances while building a reputation as a dependable supplier of high-quality cutlery. Today, Case is owned by Zippo Manufacturing Company, makers of the world famous Zippo? windproof lighter, another family-owned business based in Bradford. The company's original knife concepts and manufacturing methods have been recognized with awards and features from major print publications, international trade organizations and events, broadcast television shows and major motion pictures. A unique tang stamp dating system used since the very early days of its history has made the Case brand one of the world's favorite collectable brands. The Case Collectors Club, with 19,000 active members, is the largest known knife collecting association in the world. Case's pioneering spirit is shown in several of its original knife patterns, like the CopperLock?, Baby Butterbean?, Cheetah? , Cheetah Cub?, Sod Buster?, XX-Changer?, Baby Doc, Kodiak Hunter?, Tiny Trapper, Mako?, RussLock?, Hunter Trapper, Tiny Muskrat, Jr. Scout, Sway Back Jack, Hobo?, and all-new BackPocket. Case's commitment to quality is evident in the 125 pairs of hands that it takes to create just one knife. Case knives start with carefully shaped handles made from a wide range of genuine materials like Brazilian cattle bone, stag antler, buffalo horn, mother-of-pearl, exotic woods and stones. Brass, nickel, and silver components highlight each form, bringing together knives that are not just beautiful, but able to stand the tests of time and use. The brand's popularity is underscored by the knives it manufactures under licensing agreements with popular American icons like Boy Scouts of America?, Ducks Unlimited?, Elvis Presley?, John Deere?, John Wayne? (Wayne Enterprises), Johnny Cash and National Wild Turkey Federation. Case knives are sold largely through an authorized dealer network of hardware and home improvement retailers, specialty cutlery shops, fashion and accessory shops, catalog retailers, and others.
