The Tip is 'Ask Before You Buy' I went to a department store for a pair of dress shoes recently. The clerk helped me with three different pairs that I tried on. 'The Big Secret' was on the forefront of my mind so I asked, "Are these shoes imports?" The salesman responded that they were in fact imported. "Do you have any Made In America shoes like these?" I asked. To my surprise he said, "We have a whole line of Made In USA shoes." I was able to purchase 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. It's amazing how often this simple Made in US question yields unexpected and often times pleasant results. I now ask this question regularly, whereas before I would not have thought to ask for a Made in America alternative. More often than not, I can find a Made in America product of higher quality and at the same, or slightly higher price. Asking the question is so simple and can make a positive impact, in both the short and long term. Try it sometime. If you are like me, you may be surprised with how many Made in US products are out there. You will love it when you realize you are making a difference that benefits many. 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 R C Craft Thank you for your interest in my boats. Each boat is made by me in my shop from the best materials available. They are not kits or available as kits. THEY ARE MADE FROM WOOD, EITHER MAHOGANY OR CLEAR POPLAR. Check out the 22in. TORPEDO STERN CRUISER, or the 22in. SPEEDBOAT! I also have a few CHRIS-CRAFT STYLE MAHOGANY SPEEDBOATS on the CHRIS-CRAFT page, including an 18in.TRIPLE COCKPIT , or a 18in. DOUBLE COCKPIT available in either Chris-Craft, HackerCraft or Garwood colors. They are running models of toy boats made in the 1940's and 1950's in JAPAN. They can be used in the lake, pond or pool. They also make great display models on the mantle or office bookshelf. I specialize in reproductions of the ITO style boats made in JAPAN in the 1950's. They are meant to fill a demand from collectors, who can't find the original ITO boats and can't afford to pay the very high prices of the rare originals. My boats are meant to be close but not exact copies of the original ITO boats at a more reasonable price. A stand is included with each boat. Again I appreciate your interest in my boats. As each is built to order, a prompt replay is appreciated in order to reserve one for you. Only a set number of each model boat will be built. -THE BOATS ARE NOT REMOTE CONTROLLED- |
