ONE
AT A TIME
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
. . .
This probably
sounds crazy,
but just
yesterday 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
kitchen rug I
needed. 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 .
Check this
out. I can
verify this
because I was
in Lowe's 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. 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 .
I passed this
on . .. . Will
you???
