953 nut 59,784 #1 Posted July 2 Made in the USA Day is celebrated on July 2 by consumers and manufacturers as a way of boosting sales for locally made products. The day is observed just before Independence Day when patriotic feelings are at an all-time high, which makes it an event of great splendor. Made in the USA Day encourages the manufacturing of goods in America and customers to choose these goods instead of those that are imported from elsewhere. The day also celebrates the companies and brands that manufacture their products in the United States, and who offer employment and top-quality services to their customers. If the products we purchase were made in the USA the Social Security trust fund and Medicare system would be more sustainable and our country would be more prosperous. 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeM 8,293 #5 Posted July 2 And sometimes we get a pleasant surprise. I bought this hub for a job last week at a good price, (compared to OEM) When I got the hub, I noticed the high quality and markings of the maker's company and part #. Checked it out and found they are a huge USA manufacture since 1943 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 9,348 #6 Posted July 2 And watch out for that bogus disclaimer "Assembled in America" Guaranteed the components are sourced from non-domestic aka offshore suppliers. The Automotive Industry is notorious for this.... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
