American-Made Khakis
and Much, Much More
What would you do if you worked in
manufacturing and watched your co-workers lose their jobs as a result of
corporate downsizing? Would it frustrate you to notice that there was no
corresponding downsizing in consumer purchasing? More and more Americans
today recognize that their country seems to be getting the short end of the
stick when they visit their local retail outlets and find all too often that
American-made products just aren’t available.
Paul Staunch, owner of the website www.ZebulonUSA.com decided to turn his
frustration of these realities into a passion for offering a wide range of
American products in one place. He rightly realized that more patriotic
consumers would purchase made-in-USA products if they could find them more
easily. And with today’s Internet giving us greater access to American-made
products that oftentimes can’t be found in retail stores anyway, it’s
actually easier to Buy American than most might think.
Why pay a price mark-up for the privilege of buying retail when you can buy
American-made pants direct from the pant supplier or American-made shirts
direct from the shirt supplier? And you won’t have to spend over $2 per
gallon of gas driving around town looking for what you may not find anyway.
If you used to buy American-made khakis from the Quantum Cotton Company
(which seems to have gone out of business), I recommend Walter Thomas men’s
pants from www.ZebulonUSA.com instead. If it’s other clothing for men, women
or kids, bags and luggage or toys and games, www.ZebulonUSA.com sells only
items that are made in the USA so you won’t have to worry about the origin
of any of their products.
Owner Paul Staunch brings a rare understanding to his business that should
help it expand into future-planned additional areas like home and garden,
sporting goods and tools. At ZebulonUSA.com, they understand that oftentimes
there is little difference in price between the products they offer and
imported products offered by foreign producers.
Next time you hear about a U.S. factory about to close and move overseas,
check the price tag of that product currently made by the domestic factory,
and then check it again once that product begins to be sourced offshore. You
might be surprised that there is little if any price difference.
ZebulonUSA.com challenges anyone to compare their prices to other well-known
brands of similar quality.
ZebulonUSA.com also understands that when a price difference does exist,
many times it is because of the difference in production volume. The more
one produces, the lower the cost of producing. Since most of the companies
bucking the trend of the ever-increasing import flood from overseas are
small or medium-sized businesses, these patriotic businesses compete against
larger manufacturers overseas that can produce more at a lower cost.
What does all this mean? It means that buying American-made products from
places like www.ZebulonUSA.com can make it easier to buy American in the
future by making domestic manufacturers more price-competitive against
larger offshore rivals. It also means that the reason we have trouble buying
American now is that we haven’t been buying American as much as we should
have in the past. And we often don’t because we aren’t aware, and awareness
is the key.
So now that you’ve been made aware of a place to go where everything is made
in USA, help American manufacturing expand and make it possible to buy
American so that there will always be American left to buy. Visit
www.ZebulonUSA.com and support our workers and manufacturers to keep America
working.
