*Very* interesting.....
A physics teacher in high school, once told the students that while one
grasshopper on the railroad tracks wouldn't slow a train very
much, a billion of them would . With that thought in mind, read the
following, obviously written by a good American
Hmmm...Good idea . . . one item at a time . . . .
Take a few minutes at YOUR stores. I was in Lowes the other and just for the
heck of it I was looking at the hose attachments .
They were all made in China . The next day I was in Ace Hardware and just
for the heck of it I checked the hose attachments there .
They were made in USA . Start looking .
In our current economic situation, every little thing we buy or do affects
someone else - even their job .
So, after reading this email, I think this lady is on the right track .
Let's get behind her!
My grandson likes Hershey's candy . I noticed, though, that it is marked
"made in Mexico" now . I do not buy it any more .
My favorite toothpaste, Colgate, is made in Mexico now. I have switched to
Crest . You have to read the labels on everything
This past weekend I was at Kroger. (Can be true for any store.) I needed
60W light bulbs and Bounce dryer sheets .
I was in the light bulb aisle, and right next to the GE brand I normally buy
was an off brand labeled, "Everyday Value" .
I picked up both types of bulbs and compared the stats - they were the same
except for the price . The GE bulbs were more
money than the "Everyday Value" brand, but the thing that surprised me the
most was the fact that GE was made in *MEXICO** *
and the "Everyday Value" brand was made in - get ready for this - the USA in
a company in Cleveland, Ohio.
So throw out the myth that you cannot find products you use every day that
are made right here.
So on to another aisle - Bounce Dryer Sheets. . . yep, you guessed it,
Bounce cost more money and is made in Canada.
The Everyday Value brand was less money and MADE IN THE USA! I did laundry
yesterday and the dryer sheets performed just like the Bounce Free I have been
using for years and at almost half the price!
start reading the labels when you shop for
everyday things and see what you can find that is made
in the USA - the job you save may be your neighbors....or your own!
Stop buying from overseas companies! We can all start buying American, one item at a time!
We should have awakened a decade ago!
Let's help our fellow Americans keep their jobs and even create more jobs in the *U . S . A*
BUY FROM U.S. COMPAINES
