So many people have been laid off as a result of the Coronavirus Shelter in Place orders. A lot of those individuals will not be able to go back to the same place of employment when those orders are finally lifted because many companies will be forced to shutter permanently due to lack of funds. If you would like to help your neighbor and/or fellow citizens, it is more important than ever to buy goods that are manufactured in the country in which you live. It is even better to buy local if you are able to do so. Yes, it's more expensive sometimes, but not always. I would rather pay a little extra and help my neighbor out rather than save a few bucks while people near me are floundering. Here is a short list of companies that are manufactured in the USA. If you live in another country, please do an internet search and find products from your area.
- Merle Norman
- Mineral Fusion
- Elizabeth Arden Cosmetics
- Tom's of Maine
- Brooks Bros. Clothing
- New Balance
- Gamine Workwear
- Pendleton
- Socks4Life
- Karen Kane
- True Religion
- Fry Company Boots
- G.H. Bass
- PW Minor
- Purple Mattress
- Pyrex
- Crayola
- Post-It Notes
- Igloo
- LooHoo Dryer Balls
- Graf & Lantz
- Webber Grills
- Chesapeake Bay Candles
- Kitchen Aid Mixers
- Fiesta Tableware
- KNex Toys
These are just a few of the companies still manufacturing in America, and while there are many others out there, there even more that are outside our borders. Just peek at the labels of the clothes in your closets and try to find one item that was made in America. If you want to help middle America rather than line the silk purses of companies who have chosen wealth over their fellow countrymen, buy USA.
