The Tip is 'Don't procrastinate' For years I've been buying ink jet cartridges from a big box office supply store. These cartridges were made overseas and labeled with the well-known brand of a large American printer company. One I remembered a local store that advertised quality cartridges. I had traveled by this local store hundreds of times but never stopped. This time I stopped at the local store. To my surprise I discovered that they carried the cartridge I needed and it was a Made in USA cartridge. Made in Chicago, to be precise, and it was half the price of the imported ones I had been buying for years. The quality is exceptional and they last longer too. Who knew? After that experience, I make a point to stop at every store I can. By doing so, I've been finding more and more Made in America products. Occasionally the clerks don't know the country of origin; this can be discouraging but finding the origin information yourself isn't difficult I've come to realize. Believe it not, there are actually a number of computers made in the US including laptops made in the USA. When the label is not visibly displayed I use the other Made in America buying tips to help me find Made in US. If the store doesn't carry what you are looking for, use Made in America Secrets to find it and tell the manager about your experience at their store. If enough people are asking for Made in America products stores will begin to carry them. 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- |
