We're Impressed by Winkle Electric Company

We have been completely impressed by Winkle Electric Company as the full service electrical supplier that they claim to be.  Not only do they keep up to date with new products such as Philips LED lamps, the Allen Bradley Virtual Support Engineer, and Panduit Small Diameter Patch Cords, but they are also capable of fulfilling large cable orders.  It seems that should be impressive enough but they don't stop there.  Winkle Electric Company can also repair AC/DC Drives, Programmable Logic Controllers, Robotic Controllers, and Distributive Control Systems.

The company consists of five divisions: Electrical Supply, High Tech Automation, Integrated Services, Eco Solutions, and Custom Controls.  Winkle Electric Company Inc. is committed to their customer's success by maintaining the highest quality standards.

Visit Winkle Electric Company on facebook to see what they are up to today. We're sure that you will be impressed too.

It's Not a Fad, It's a Lifestyle


My oven blew up over the weekend.  My head was in the refrigerator so I can't give you details. BOOF! The oven no longer works.

Since I love cookies I started to search for a new oven. I'll admit it, I was more concerned about the price than anything else. Good news, though. The first oven I found that met all of my requirements came from GE and is assembled in the United States!

Everyone at Georgianna Hardware is pleased to find that we are no longer alone in buying American made products. We never wanted to reinstate isolationism, we just wanted our friends to be able to put food on their tables. Now, there is a preference among Americans to buy goods that are manufactured in the United States.

It is nice to see national news reports that say Made in USA is making a comeback. It is also refreshing to know that we can all have an occasional break from the intense research that is sometimes necessary to verify that a product is made in the USA because Americans only need to buy one percent of USA made products to secure 250,000 jobs.

The whole thing can get to be confusing, but it can be explained. If the label reads, “produced”, “product of”, “manufactured”, or “made” in the USA or America, that product is made onshore.  No need to worry about anything else because we have the Federal Trade Commission to keep the manufactures honest.

For us, buying American made is not a fad, it's a lifestyle.

Believe in History


I believe that we are all in the process of making history. Each of us that are pushing for the betterment of America are doing something important that will be remembered for a long time. Once again I turned to history to help me put things into proper perspective and I found an interesting publication, Technology and the Human Dimension

The publication is a transcript of an interview conducted by Hal Bowser with Dr. Elting E. Morison of MIT.  The comments made by Dr. Morison during the interview offer the reader a new perspective on science, sociology, and technology.  I think you will find it's worth taking the time to read. 

Elting Morison died in 1995 but there are many people working at the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation that are doing important things and in the process of making history.
