Buck Knives

I just read an article on Buck Knives. Apparently they moved most of their production from China back to the USA. Yeah! I am glad to see a company come back home. Every little bit helps. Good going Buck Knives. To read the full article click here.

Jergens

I can remember when I was a kid (and that was a long time ago) that my Dad would put Jergens lotion on his face after he shaved. I think it was in a white bottle with black writing, from what I remember. I don't know for sure but I don't think they made a lotion for the face at that time.

Nowadays there are so many lotions and creams to choose from, making it difficult to choose the best one for your skin.

Jergens being American Made makes an easy choice for me. They have a great selection. You can even get the kind that gives your skin a tint so you don't have to lay out in the sun. We all know that is bad for us now.

They also make a lotion with those tiny beads in it which makes your skin really soft.
Jergens still sells for a relatively low price compared with other lotions of the same quality.

Stats

I wish I knew where I could find stats that would tell if the Buy America Back campaign is working. I am so counting on it. Maybe it has been going on for a long time and I just didn't know about it.

I know my son was buying American long before it was the popular thing to do. I am so proud of him. .It just took a crisis in the country for me to realize how important this is. I guess it is one of those things like, "Gee, I could've had a V8".

Anyway, if any one comes along some stats on the Buy America Back campaign, please let me know.

Thanks

Botanic Choice

Botanic Choice is a company that sells herbal supplements and natural remedies. They have been in business since 1910 and have remained in Indiana. They started out by selling from catalogs but now you can find their products in most stores that carry vitamins and such. In the beginning they grew their own herbs but now the company is too big and they have to rely on other growers.

I wrote to them and asked about where their herbs come from and this was their response:
A lot of our herbs are US grown. We do get some products from other countries as well. We hold our herbs to very high standards and all our products are tested for quality and purity on a regular basis.

I hope they are telling the truth because I use their products. So far everything has been good.

Well, I Am Confused

When I think about bicycles Huffy comes to mind first. I have become very interested in mountain biking and thought I would look up Huffy bikes to see what they have.

When I looked up the company on Wikipedia, it said that Huffy Sports sent everything to China in 1999 but then continued to do poorly so they filed chapter 11 in 2004.

On the Huffy website it says, "Huffy celebrates 30 years as #1 selling bike brand in the U.S. and sells its 100 millionth bicycle" That was 2006.

So where are they made? I couldn't find the answer anywhere. Wonder if there are any other bike manufacturers in the US? I want a mountain bike.
