The Tip is 'Made In America Secrets' We needed some new towels recently and I remembered coming across your website. I thought I would give it a quick search to see if there were any Made in America towels sold nearby. It just so happened that when I did the search, I found there was a nearby reseller listed who carried the particular Made in the USA towels I wanted. We bought the towels and, not surprisingly, they are both more absorbent and better looking than I thought. Made in America Secrets has thousands of products made in America offered by hundreds of small manufacturers. These small companies are a big contributor to our economy. According to one study small businesses (those employing 1 to 99 employees) comprise 98% of all the USA businesses. That's equivalent to 5.8 million businesses employing over 40 million people. Most American's are unaware of how significant small business is when compared to the total size of the US economy. This website is aware of it and that is why 99% of the businesses that advertise on Made in America Secrets are small businesses. I now use this site to search for small companies especially since more than likely it is a small company that employs someone I know- my wife, my children, my friends. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Camden Rose Our wooden items are constructed by craftspeople that specialize in woodworking. High quality hardwoods like cherry, maple and walnut are prefered, as these woods are beautiful, durable and impart a sense of warmth and comfort. Our difference is in the details. Our craftspeople take extra effort to create smooth, softened edges on all of our wood products. Camden Rose is proud to support two fair trade, non-profit organizations outside of Lima, Peru. Hearing impaired women are employed in one cooperative, disadvantaged women in another. It warms our hearts to know the lives we have impacted there has provided the women a livelihood. We feel a great sense of obligation to support and grow this relationship. With production in both the US and in Peru, we have experienced significant change over the past couple of years with price increases due to limited availability of raw materials. In the US, the cost of various hardwoods has greatly increased - along with the demand for theses wood overseas. Camden Rose continues to be a part of the movement to create a market for items made in the US at fair, competitive prices. Materials Besides making quality items to last generations, our desire is to only use natural materials such as wood, silk, wool or cotton. Natural materials are not indestructible, however, wood, silk, wool and cotton are non-toxic, renewable, have a natural quality of warmth, and do not impart a false impression of weight, mass or touch. |
