Why Buy Made In USA

Made in the USA
What does that label mean to you?

"A single U.S. shoe factory contributes $500,000 per year to the Social Security System and $250,000 per year to the unemployment fund."

When you buy *Made In The USA* you employ American workers at American wage levels (Imported shoes employ foreign workers at less than $1.00 an hour).

You support schools, hospitals, and local government because U.S. factories pay local taxes (foreign factories do not).

You keep dollars in the USA instead of adding to the huge foreign debt.

You assure yourself of American quality backed up by American know how.

(The opinion of an American Shoe Manufacturer.)
