The Tip is 'Made In America Secrets' We needed some new towels recently and I remembered coming across your website. I thought I would give it a quick search to see if there were any Made in America towels sold nearby. It just so happened that when I did the search, I found there was a nearby reseller listed who carried the particular Made in the USA towels I wanted. We bought the towels and, not surprisingly, they are both more absorbent and better looking than I thought. Made in America Secrets has thousands of products made in America offered by hundreds of small manufacturers. These small companies are a big contributor to our economy. According to one study small businesses (those employing 1 to 99 employees) comprise 98% of all the USA businesses. That's equivalent to 5.8 million businesses employing over 40 million people. Most American's are unaware of how significant small business is when compared to the total size of the US economy. This website is aware of it and that is why 99% of the businesses that advertise on Made in America Secrets are small businesses. I now use this site to search for small companies especially since more than likely it is a small company that employs someone I know- my wife, my children, my friends. 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. |
