The Tip is 'Don't procrastinate' For years I've been buying ink jet cartridges from a big box office supply store. These cartridges were made overseas and labeled with the well-known brand of a large American printer company. One I remembered a local store that advertised quality cartridges. I had traveled by this local store hundreds of times but never stopped. This time I stopped at the local store. To my surprise I discovered that they carried the cartridge I needed and it was a Made in USA cartridge. Made in Chicago, to be precise, and it was half the price of the imported ones I had been buying for years. The quality is exceptional and they last longer too. Who knew? After that experience, I make a point to stop at every store I can. By doing so, I've been finding more and more Made in America products. Occasionally the clerks don't know the country of origin; this can be discouraging but finding the origin information yourself isn't difficult I've come to realize. Believe it not, there are actually a number of computers made in the US including laptops made in the USA. When the label is not visibly displayed I use the other Made in America buying tips to help me find Made in US. If the store doesn't carry what you are looking for, use Made in America Secrets to find it and tell the manager about your experience at their store. If enough people are asking for Made in America products stores will begin to carry them. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Happi Nappi Happi-Pocket started 18 years ago in Memphis, Tennessee. Cynthia Talley left a Fortune 500 Company to be able to stay home with her children. Needing to go back to work, she became a substitute teacher in the Memphis City School System. During this time, she was starting to develop the Happi-Nappi Nap Bag in her spare time. Several of the teachers used chair bags that parents had made for their students. Having been home sewn, the bags were not holding up very well. Since Cynthia sewed, she took several home to be repaired. As word spread of the repairs, several more appeared. The teachers told her she needed to start making chair bags while she was making the Happi-Nappi Nap Bag. As she sold the Happi-Nappi Nap Bag, child care directors suggested she start manufacturing quality cot and mat sheets. Discovering the market for sheets had a lot to be desired, she started making the sheets. The chair bag developed into the Happi-Pocket and the rest is history.... A few years later, the factory is in place shipping across the USA. Every day is looked at as a new learning experience. If someone makes a suggestion, we listen. We continue to listen.
