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.
