The Tip is 'Watch What You Eat' While in the grocery store recently I noticed that the apples were from South America. Next to South American apples were a bin of apples labeled Made in USA. I decided to go with the Made in America apples since they were US grown. Always remember the Big Secret- buying more American made products helps put Americans back to work. It will guide you to food you will want to eat that is grown with US labor. If you just take a moment to look and think before you buy, it is likely you will find what you are looking for. Also, be careful because sometimes labels are not what they seem. Some companies use the letters USA to fool you into thinking they are American products. Trust only those products that literally claim their country of origin. Look for labeling like: Product of USA, Made in USA, Grown in USA, or other definitive markings. And last, when you begin the journey of purposely identifying American products keep in mind that it may take a little time but the more you look the easier it becomes. You will start to remember which brands are made in the USA and which aren't. This knowledge makes it easy and will accumulate over time. Some food items are not grown in the USA and you will learn that too. The Big Secret tells us we don't need to purchase everything from USA manufacturers just a little more than we are accustom to. If you can average $200 a month more on domestic purchases than you otherwise would it adds up fast. $2,400 a year is equivalent to 7 MILLION new American jobs. We believe that is a good thing. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Iverson At Iverson's we've been hand crafting the finest traditional wood snowshoes for over 50 years. They're made in the USA, right here in Michigan's Upper Peninsula and trust us when we say, we know snow. It started back in 1954 when Clarence Iverson began building his snowshoes for the State of Michigan. His premise was simple, reduce expended energy by walking on top of the snow, not through it. His designs provided maximum weight distribution for optimum flotation. The news soon spread of the Iverson snowshoe and demand expanded the company into consumer market. Clarence was very picky. He only used the finest materials, premium Michigan White Ash, full grain rawhides, and pure copper hardware. These components are expensive, but well worth the cost when you find yourself in extreme conditions, or when it's time to pass your Iverson's on to the next generation. We hand-craft 17 models of snowshoes in different sizes and all are available laced with traditional rawhide, neoprene or nylon. Our 4 harness options include our brand new Iverson AA and models. Nylon and Neoprene kits are available in 10x40 or 10x46 frames for the do-it-yourselfers. We take great pride in our craft and the ability to match the proper snowshoe to the user. We look forward to breaking a trail with you soon. |
