Buy American Made

The other day I touched on what brand overalls were worn on the hit television show Hee Haw (see the original post here). Thinking about that entry prompted me to say a few words about supporting manufacturers of products proudly made right here in the U.S.A.

I firmly believe in supporting manufacturers that are U.S. owned, and operated here on U.S. soil. With that in mind, I direct your attention to Round House brand workwear. Proudly manufactured in Shawnee, OK, Round House has a loyal following for a reason: they build 'em with quality in mind. They're every bit as strong and durable as (if not stronger than) other nationally known brands, without costing an arm and a leg. (All you Okies better take note of that!)

The next time you get ready to spend those hard earned dollars on something, stop and think where your money's going. It's up to all of us to help keep American businesses strong and the American workers employed, and you can do your part by buying American made products. This is becoming critically important as more and more factories are shutting their doors, leaving American workers jobless, partly because of the purchases we Americans make on foreign made products instead of domestic ones. Next time, just look for the label the says "Made in USA".
