workers are known for their expert craftsmanship and pride in their
product. This guarantees a better built
product without the cutting corner production that can be seen in products made
overseas.
3. More Choices:
o
Products
produced domestically usually have a variety of choices in color, finishes, and
styles and have many other custom options available.
4. Quality Materials:
o
Domestically
produced products usually made of solid hardwood frames for strength and
durability. The alternative is
pressboard which is made to disassemble as small as possible for the cheapest
shipping costs overseas.
5. Better for the Environment:
o
Many
products that are made overseas need our raw materials. This means that the
materials are shipped from the US to China, the product is manufactured then
shipped back to be sold here. Just the
fuel saved on not shipping across the ocean is a big step is saving carbon
emissions from entering the atmosphere.
So remember the next time
you are out shopping don’t forget to ask where it is made. Buying American can make all the difference
