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 Super Pouch Welcome to SuperPouch. Established in 1987, SuperPouch quickly got off to a slow start. We thought there has got to be a better way to carry one's tools except a five gallon bucket or a canvas coal bag. So after reviewing what was available in the way of tool bags and after much trial and error our first all canvas, no rivets or wire inserts or zippers, tool/organizer carrier was born. The model we called the 24-0, 24 outside pouches, open top self standing tool organizer/carrier. Made of 24 oz., number 4 cotton duck. We now had our own proto type, now came the challenge, How to manufacture the bag in the U.S.A. with our high quality standards, and still share this great tool organizer with our contractor friends at a small profit? Needless to say we were persistent and many times along the way we were ready to throw in the towel. High manufacturing costs, high materials costs, distribution costs, advertising costs, boxing, packaging, were among the many steps that had to be trimmed. Sure off shore manufacturing was cheaper, much cheaper but quality control, availability and ability to innovate were worth more. Our objective was not to create jobs in other countries. Our objective was to make a good American product with good quality and a reasonable price and to protect our time and effort, an easy to remember product name and a Trade Mark to protect our name. In 1995, realizing the tremendous impact the Internet would have on commerce, we established our presence on the World Wide Web, and at the same time started accepting Credit Card Mastercard/Visa purchases. Since those early days in 1987 our family owned and operated company has grown from one standard tool organizer product to over 25 different innovative products. Our newest Trade Marked product SnatchEm shows our innovation at organizing all kinds of coiled products and small tools.
