The Tip is 'Ask manufacturers' Some times I have run across an advertisement that implied a product was Made in USA but the product did not have the Made in USA label. Before I buy or put the product on my Made in USA list, I email the manufacturer and ask if their product is Made in USA. If they say yes I ask why their product is not labeled that way. Seldom will they tell me why but many times they will tell me every component that is Made in the USA and those that are not. I then make my decision about buying their product and put it on my list if they convince me. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Mile 44 Posters Mile 44 is the dynamic duo of Stacy Curtis and Dave Windisch. Dave and Stacy met as co-workers at a newspaper in Northwest Indiana. Dave wanted to create posters and Stacy wanted to explore other avenues for his illustrative abilities. As a need for a new creative outlet, Mile 44 was born. Dave and Stacy began making posters by creating labor-intensive linoleum block prints, several posters later, and a couple of non-life threatening wounds, they met Steve Walters and everything changed. Dave and Stacy took Steve's screenprinting class at the Screwball Press Academy and they have been screenprinting posters ever since.
