Do Something Important: Buy American…..

Was your local community affected by the downturn a couple of years ago?  Elkhart County Economic Foundation took their job as trying to recruit new businesses to our area a little farther.  They went out and talked to every manufacturing faciility in the county and asked what kind of parts they purchased from out of our county, plus what kind of parts they themselves manufactured, if any.  They kept a log for each Manufacturer.  When possible they introduced local manufacturer's to other local manufacturer's that could profit from a relationship with each other.  Buy local!  This is an ongoing project, as you can imagine, but more of our local dollars are now staying local.  Buy LOCAL!

If you want to be patriotic, I have an idea: buy American. Talk about making a difference, helping citizens continue to move forward is a very positive thing and makes a real difference. A barbecue is nice any day, and I like the fireworks as much as anyone, but what will really celebrate independence: supporting a local merchant who sells things made in America. And to my Canadian friends: feel free to join the movement too. 

When you think about real estate, it is time to focus. I have helped people for close to thirty years in all areas, and made the process not only simple but enjoyable. Why should you go it alone or settle for less? Call me and find a partner to help, direct and get you where you want to be.

Buying American is becoming harder and harder to do nowadays. I believe in it where it is possible. Supporting your local stores and businesses is what is easier and more productive to your hometown...

Local is important, you got that right! I know what you mean, just because it says Chevy or Ford or even Nisson, you are not getting American...

It's hard to buy local when the local businesses buy frm someplace else, like Chile, or another country.  That's why we need to look at the labels.
