The Tip is 'Where They're Proud' I recently saw an ad in our local newspaper for a big box home improvement store. Their newspaper ad had USA made products and American flags all over it. Several weeks later, I checked the ad again and sure enough they were still advertising their American made products. It was obvious they are proud to carry products Made in America. Their competitors made no mention of things Made in America. I have been to this store and asked what products are made in the USA? A clerk told me they primarily carry imports. Obviously they are not proud. I now realize you can buy many Made in the USA building supplies, including tools Made in USA and appliances Made in USA., in stores that are proud to carry brands Made in the USA. Here is another example of a store proudly carrying products Made in the USA. I was shopping for men's shoes in a local department store when I tried on three different pairs of shoes. I couldn't decide which pair I wanted so I went out on a limb and asked the clerk, "Are these shoes imports?" The salesman said "yes they are" so I asked, "Do you have any Made in America shoes like these?". To my surprise he said, with GREAT PRIDE, "yes sir, we have a whole line of Made In USA shoes". He brought me the same color and style with the Made in USA label. These Made in America shoes were less expensive, came with a better warranty, and were more comfortable. Looking for companies that are PROUD is simple and can have a great impact on our country. I encourage you to try this some time- just ask. You will love it when you realize you are making a difference that all of us will benefit from. With your help America will be ours again and that is a good thing. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Little Kites Welcome to Littlekites.com, featuring miniature kites, mini kites, a miniature kite train, a miniature butterfly kite, dragonfly kites, a fairy kite, a tiny housefly kite and bigger kites. For kids, teachers, educators, moms, dads and kite clubs, I've also included a page about a kids kite that's quick and easy to make. Or, if you're in the mood to make some miniature kites yourself, I give some tips on my how to page and throughout the site, by way of describing some of the materials and techniques I used for making the kites. I'll be adding old and new kites to the pages listed above, as the weather cooperates and the time becomes available to get out and actually fly the kites in my kite bag. I didn't make all the kites you'll find on this website, nor did I design all the kites I DID make. I try to give credit where it's due, because we all know how vengeful kite fliers are. Thinking about it, I probably didn't make or even pay for most of the really great kites you'll find here. Unless I have to count buying a raffle ticket, or being lucky enough to have people just give me kites because I'm such a swell guy. What I hope to do with this site, is to provide some information and promote flying and making kites. If I happen to get filthy rich and have to retire to Tahiti in the process, I'll just try to make the best of it. The only kites I have for sale here, are the miniature kites I make. I deal mostly with retailers and people that want custom graphic applications on the sails of the diamond Eddy kites, but if you want a few of the kites I make, please check the Buy Online button. Enjoy the site and drop me a line, if you're so inclined. (Please include the word KITES in the subject line, so it's easier for me to distinguish your REAL EMAIL from the SPAM I get). Thanks for stopping by and taking a look! Tom Tinney |
