Grill out next season with a BBQ made in the USA

There are quite a few BBQ grills made in the USA which is great news. Yes they may cost a bit more but they are better made and help fellow Americans keep working. An American made grill also would have a lower carbon footprint since it was not shipped from the other side of the world. So you are solving several issues at one time dinner, jobs and pollution.

Are American workers being displaced by companies misuse of H-IB Visa workers

Several big Iconic American Brands are under investigation or scrutiny for bring in H-1B visa workers to train with and replace their American co-worker, often at half the cost. The H-1B visa was not intended to be used this way. The program was to augment a business with skilled workers in fields lacking American applicants. Once again big business has found a way to turn a law against the American Worker.

Contact your congress person and Senators to get this nonsense stopped and save American jobs.

Baby products Made in the USA

Baby clothes made in the USA

Nothing means more to us than our babies safety and health. I think most Americans will agree with me that your child's health is not worth saving a dollar or two buying imported items. Just watch the headlines and you might notice all the news over the last decade about dangerous items incorporated in imported items. Just two years ago American officials stopped hundreds of thousand of toys being imported into the USA made with dangerous chemicals that are banned here. Of course nothing is foolproof but your odds are much greater if you keep is made in the USA and here is a site to help do just that: Baby products made in the USA

Boots Made in the USA

Boots made in the USA

I bet most of our grandfathers never had to give American made boots a second thought. Back then all the boots were Made in the USA. Sadly that has changed, so many of the boots on the market today are made in factories overseas and imported by American companies. Those companies used to make their products here at home, now they have made an end run around our labor and environmental laws to produce products to sell here at home. Together we can change that and get those jobs back. Just refuse to buy imports. The pair of boots pictured in this post are made in the USA. I own that same pair and I love them. After putting in many miles through the mud and snow I can attest that they are the best boots I have ever owned. Not to mention when I had a question on care and maintenance I reached out to the manufacture for advice and they helped me out. Could you get that from a boot made in China?

The American Flag should be made in the USA

American Flag
Probably like most Americans you feel American Flags should only be made in the USA if it is sold here.

In our years of building the American Made Directory we have discovered our favorite flag maker is American Flags who make many types of flags.

Vapes made in the USA

We are not telling you to Vape or not to Vape. What we do recommend is if you do already smoke or Vape try a e-cigarette made in the USA. Have you thought about the Vape Juice at all? Do you really want to inhale vape juice made in an unregulated factory overseas? Does that really need to be asked? So if you don't Vape don't start. If you smoke you may want to look at vaping? If you already Vape look at American made.

It's time to buy American

American Made Watches
There is no time like the present to buy watches made in the USA. I'm very happy to see a resurgence of the American made time pieces. I found at least three companies making wrist watches here at home but I'll wager there are more.

Building a watch takes skilled labor and creates the jobs we need here in America. So the next time someone ask you what time is it, tell them time for you to buy an American made watch!

Great article from Consumer Reports

Here is an excerpt from Consumer Reports article. Here is a link for the entire article


Consumer Reports magazine: February 2013
Given a choice between a product made in the U.S. and an identical one made abroad, 78 percent of Americans would rather buy the American product, according to a new nationally representative survey by the Consumer Reports National Research Center.
More than 80 percent of those people cited retaining manufacturing jobs and keeping American manufacturing strong in the global economy as very important reasons for buying American. About 60 percent cited concern about the use of child workers or other cheap labor overseas, or stated that American-made goods were of higher quality.
And people would pay extra to buy American. More than 60 percent of all respondents indicated they’d buy American-made clothes and appliances even if those cost 10 percent more than imported versions; more than 25 percent said they’d pay at least an extra 20 percent. (Perhaps more surprising: According to a new survey of consumers in the U.S. and abroad by the Boston Consulting Group, more than 60 percent of Chinese respondents said they’d buy the American-made version over the Chinese even if it were to cost more.)

For more on Made in the USA

Lets start with American Made from the ground up, shoes made in the USA

Although there should be more there are a surprising amount of shoe companies making their products in the USA, at least in the dress and casual markets. Currently there is not much activity in the athletic shoe market. New Balance has a few models made here but I know longer see them marketing that fact and I'm afraid it is going away.

The American shoe market will support big prices for athletic shoes, however it seems to be tied to big time sponsorship and endorsements. Nike for an example pay workers in Asia $75.00 per month to make the shoes, they pay their American workers in the US very well and they pay millions maybe billions in sponsorship and endorsement rather than build a brand on quality and features. The American market for athletic shoes is all about the marketing and little to do with the manufacturing.

We have a large collection of Shoes made in the USA on our directory of American Made products. We hope you will check out the resource and share it with family and friends. The job you save could be your own.
