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 Wagon Train Ventures, LLC DurableToys.com or Wagon Train Ventures, LLC, is a a Mom-run family business owned by Rosemary and Michael Imrick, parents of six children through birth and adoption. Adoption runs in the family for both of us, and ellen-s-cart-goat.jpgwe are now the third generation that has adopted either domestically or internationally. Our eldest teenager arrived in May 2012, and our 13-year-old son arrived home in March 2014. We took over this business from family with the goal of supporting our plans to adopt debt-free, and then expanding the business so we can help other families to do the same (see our Adoption Fundraising page). We are pleased that this business gives us the opportunity to branch out from our usual work as an IT professional and a university English composition instructor, and thereby the means to touch our world in life-changing ways. Every purchase in this store not only supports the craftsmen and companies who make our durable items, it also supports our family's goal to adopt again. See www.KidsWait.org if adoption could be your adventure as well! A Legacy of Quality Wagon Train Ventures, LLC is the next chapter in the 15-year history of quality toys and service on which Rosemary's uncle, Dave McCusker, Jr., built the sterling reputation of his toy business. The McCusker family ventured forth as pioneers in Internet commerce in the 90's and rode the cusp of the Internet commerce wave with the DurableToys.com website. As the second generation in the toy business, we are building on the time-tested McCusker model. Dedication to Durablity In the McCusker footsteps, we search out durable toys for your children and ours. We carry toys made in the USA if at all possible, with a focus on tricycles and the quality wagons made by Amish craftsmen. Amish wagons are a particular interest since Rosemary grew up using an Amish wagon as a goat cart. That wagon is still going strong many years later, as shown in the picture of Rosemary's younger sister now using it with her trained cart goat, Sunflower. For those items we cannot find made by our neighbors in the U.S., we look to quality manufacturers who make their items without taking shortcuts on quality, and without exploiting their hired help. We endeavor to work with talented crafters who are paid fair trade prices for their handiwork. You will find country of origin noted in the description of items we sell. |
