Even when it says "Made in the USA" it is not necessarily the case. I lived in a border town. Garment were sent from factories on Mexico. Though labels, or pockets, or other insignifigant garment finishing was done on our side of the border that call it "Made in the USA."

> Hi All, I agree with Marilyn. Someone did respond to my post about Canadian products and I already buy several. I spoke to my sister and friends about not buying from China or overseas and they are working toward this goal too. Yeah!! Word of mouth is great. I did notice a difference in reading the labels. Some say packaged in, some say manufactured in, some say made in. Some actually say 100% made in the USA. Maybe we could learn what they use for criteria that something is actually made in the USA. I'm really excited about supporting our country and maybe, just maybe, bringing jobs back to the USA. Kathie

Lets get this in black and white and help each other by naming product, manufacturer and where to purchase the product. Can we set something up on the group? WE CAN make a difference. We can print out the information and hand it to friends. Let's make a real difference. A REAL DIFFERENCE!
