The Tip is 'Labeling Tip 1' Know Your Labeling - For products Made in America, the greater the US content the more American jobs required to produce it. So whenever possible choose the product with the highest percentage of U.S.content. US content must be disclosedon Made in USA textiles, automobiles, wool, and fur products. There is no law requiringmost other products to be marked or labeled made in USA, or, have any otherdisclosure about their amount of U.S. content. Those manufacturers and marketers who choose to make claims about the amount of U.S. content must comply with the FTC's Made in USA policy. Note: Imported products must have the country of origin on their label whileproducts partially Made in USA do not. For a product produced in the U.S. to be labeled made in USA, or claimed to beof domestic origin without qualifications or limits on the claim, the product must be all or virtually all made in the U.S. This would mean that all significant parts and processing that go into the product are of U.S. origin. The product should contain no (or negligible) foreign content. Made in the USA products create the greatest number of American jobs for our country. This is because the labor to produce the product, and the raw materials that go into the product, are created with American labor. For most products, there is no law requiring made in America labels, or any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on the label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. The product without the country origin on its label has some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not.

Back in 1983, two accountant friends shared a love of sports. One of the men, an avid sports collector, needed a solution to his problem of how to display his enormous collection of autographed baseballs. A meeting of the two minds usually produced endless conversation on game statistics and obscure sports trivia. But, one evening the friends' conversation led to a wonderful idea?drawn on a cocktail napkin?and the iconic BallQube, with its clear, square, stackable two piece design sliding together on beveled edges, was born. The two CPAs decided to leave the debits and credits behind and began to pursue the production and promotion of their dream idea. Their passion and energy, along with lots of help from their wives, produced the original BallQube baseball holder which was quickly embraced by collectors and sports fans across the country. Over the years, BallQube has introduced sports ball holders for the most popular sports and many of them offer UV protection including our UV grandstand baseball display, UV grandstand football display, UV helmet display, UV mini helmet display, and UV grandstand basketball display. To add a little extra sparkle, BallQube also offers a mirrored back display and a wood base display. BallQube created a holder for a baseball bat, a baseball cap, a softball, a golf ball, a hockey puck, a hockey stick, a miniature race car, a sports jersey, and a Wheaties box. Each display offers BallQube's same smart design. BallQube remains a family business and is now under the leadership and vision of the second generation. |
