SAVE MONEY BY BUYING AMERICAN - The Humor Harvester Explains How

ONE AT A TIME

This probably sounds crazy, but I was in Wal Mart looking for a wastebasket.

I found some made in China for $6.99. I didn't want to pay that much so I asked the
lady if they had any others. She took me to another department
and they had some at 2.50 made in USA . They are just as good.
Same as a rug I needed for the hallway. I had to look, but I found some
made in the USA and they were 3.00 cheaper. We are being
brain washed that everything that comes from China and Mexico
is cheaper. Not so. That is also why I don't buy cards at Hallmark
anymore. They are made in China and are expensive. I buy
them at Dollar Tree....50 cents each and made in USA .


A physics teacher in high school, once told the students that while one
grasshopper on the railroad tracks wouldn't slow a train very much, a
billion of them would. With that thought in mind, read the following,
obviously written by a good American . . .


Check this out. I can verify this because I was in Lowes the other day for
some reason and just for the heck of it I was looking at the hose
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.  A lot of people blame the Unions for a lot of

things. My Union has always earged all our members to "BUY UNION".

I complained to my Business Agent one time that everything was made foreign.

He said:  "Not so, get your head out of your A _ _,   look around, change your

shopping habits, U.S.A. is out there.   Granted, you have to dig and look, but it's

out there and available"

 
I like 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....

This past weekend I was at Giant Eagle . . . 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 ..One Light Bulb at a Time!

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! So throw out the myth that you cannot find products that
are made right here...


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, or somebody in your Family!

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 ..
