BUY AMERICAN

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....
Good idea ..... One light bulb at a time .....
This past weekend I was at Kroger ..... 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!
My challenge to you is to 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 own or your neighbors!
If you accept the challenge, pass this on to others in your address book so
we can all start buying American, one light bulb at a time! Stop buying from
overseas companies!
(We should have awakened a decade ago....)
Let's get with the program and help our fellow Americans keep their jobs and
create more jobs here in the USA .....
