Buy American-Made and Spend Le$$
Many patriotic consumers, me
included until recently, have been under the impression that it’s impossible
to buy American-made cartridges for their computer printers, for example.
It’s one of those areas where those that want to buy American have just
accepted that there isn’t an American-made alternative.
If you have a computer, you
probably have a printer. If you have a printer, you must buy the ink
cartridges for it. And the ink cartridges are usually, if not always, made
in some foreign country.
For American-made
alternatives, visit
www.chesapeakeimaging.com.
You’ll be able to not only buy American-made in areas you never thought
possible, but you’ll also fork over less of your hard-earned dollars.
At the very top of the home
page, you’ll see a banner that reads “Quality American-Made Imaging
Products.” Chesapeake does offer the manufacturer’s original equipment as
well, but you’ll pay more for the original (and usually foreign-made)
version of their products.
For example, the black inkjet
cartridge I need for my Hewlett-Packard printer is the HP51645A. To find
Chesapeake’s American-made version of the Hewlett-Packard original made in
Singapore, select “Inkjet Cartridges” under “Printer Supplies” on
www.chesapeakeimaging.com.
On the next page, click “Hewlett-Packard – INKJET” to find the ink cartridge
for the HP51645A.
The next page will display two
products. The first is Chesapeake’s compatible American-made inkjet
cartridge for an amazingly cheap $18.95. You can also stock up and buy
additional ones for even less money!
The second product is the
original cartridge made in Singapore by Hewlett-Packard. If you insist on
the foreign-made version and want to pay more for it, Chesapeake’s price is
$29.99, which is about what you would pay just about anywhere else.
So now you can buy
American-made in an area you probably never thought possible and pay less
money too. That’s how the founding fathers envisioned that the American
economy should work. Abraham Lincoln once said “By the tariff system the
whole revenue is paid by the consumers of foreign goods…the man who contents
himself to live upon the product of his own country pays nothing at all."
And that’s the way it should
be. So buy American-made and spend less money at
