Made in the USA
I look around my desk and see Made in China everywhere. Well, except for the shirt I’m wearing. It’s made in Honduras.
The owner of Winter People was in the store the other day. She started the Freeport – based promotional advertising business over 20 years ago embroidering shirts and aprons. We talked about the difficulty of doing business today without dealing with China, either directly or indirectly.
There is a ray of hope however, and where else but the Big Apple. I had no idea there were over 7,000 manufacturers in NY’s five boroughs employing over 100,00 people. The site Made in NYC is helping to link those manufacturers with buyers.
Maybe China isn’t the only answer.
