The Tip is 'Before You Buy' Made in America Secrets tries to send you to internet stores that sell the Made In USA products you searched for. We try to link you directly to only Made In USA products, however sometimes this does not happen. When you click our banner / link ads the store we link you to may show you products that are imported alongside those that are Made In USA. We all know most retailers sell products that are made and come from all over the world including the USA. Therefore, our tip is look at the details before you buy the product. This is true for both brick and mortar stores and internet retailers. Any Made in America store that represents selling only Made in USA products can be believed but check them anyway. They will appreciate your help. Here is a great example of a very reputable Made in America Store. Our site is similar to a few others that I call "Indexers". These sites offer lists like an index. These indexes relate companies to the products they sell. There are a few, like this site, that provide an index of Made in America companies and their products. You can use the indexes (like I have done at times) to find a particular product and the companies that make it. Our site has many features like our buy tips that are unique and valuable. We add buying tips regularly so don't forget to check them out, as they will help you find and buy great Made In America products. Some of these sites are a good resource if you are looking for the manufacturer of a specific product. However you should first check their accuracy because some are not maintained as well as others. Some allow inaccurate and inappropriate ads, others like Made In America Secrets maintain the accuracy of their indexes and do not allow inappropriate advertisements. We continually try to improve our links and we solicit your help and ideas to make our site even better. You can contact us by email, mail, or phone and we will try our very best to respond promptly. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Border States Leatherworks Border States Leatherworks Products are Made by Hand, One at a Time We are Proud to Show and Sell Our Collection Douglas Kidd -- Border States Leatherworks Douglas Kidd has 34-years of leather working experience. Twenty of those years exclusively on military reproduction equipment. Border States Leatherworks has a large collection of more than 3000 pieces of original cavalry and infantry equipment dating from the Revolutionary War through World War II. We have used this equipment to take patterns from and to see the style and method of manufacture, says Kidd. Only by 'hands on' experience can one truly reproduce a fine piece of work. This cannot be done by simply looking at a picture, or by guessing how it should be done. 'Close enough for government work' doesn't cut it on the field. Border States Leatherworks has visited many Amish harness shops in Pennsylvania and has learned a lot from them about hand work, where to use what grade, which type of leather to use, and how to finish a product correctly. Where better to learn the trade than from the people who still use harness and tack 365 days a year, said Kidd. We make our products by hand, one at a time, and we are proud to show and sell them. The quality of our products speak for themselves. Needless to say, your satisfaction is guaranteed with each and every product we make. |
