Made By Yankees

During the last two months I’ve spent considerable time looking for a slow cooker, Vitamin C (all domestic ingrediants), home size paper shredder and an umbrella. As occassionally happens, I’m disappointed.

Slow Cooker: There is simply no slow cooker that I can find “Made in the USA”. We can put it on the list of small appliances gone to China with the Toaster and Toaster Oven.

Paper Shredder: There are only two paper shredders that I can find. They are both large sizes, more for heavy duty office/business shredding. Mfg & Model: Fellowes 2200 & 3200

Umbrellas: I have been told that the frame part of the umbrellas were always made over seas. “They were too complicated for us”. What!? I couldn’t believe this response. Nevertheless, there isn’t one made here. On occassion you might find one with the covering made in the USA or printed in the USA, but there isn’t an umbrella made 100% in the USA.

This weeks find includes wooden toothpicks manufactured by Recycline.

Hairbrush by Fuller. Among other brush and housekeeping type products.

Piston Ring File and Rod Bolt Stretch Gauge both made by CV Products.
