Thompson’s water seal.

032 “Manufactured by the Thompson’s company Cleveland Ohio.”

What it doesn’t say is whether it was actually manufactured IN Cleveland Ohio.

I worked for a company that imported products from China and repackaged them in boxes that said in very large letters “MADE IN THE USA”. When I asked the company owner about it he said, “Well, the boxes are made in the USA”.

I think it’s kind of funny that so many companies feel a need to confuse or receive the consumer into thinking they’re buying an American made product.

Here’s a short list of companies that still manufacture products in the USA:

Andersen Windows

Pella Windows

Marvin Windows

J. W. Hulme - luggage products and shooting accessories

C. C. Filson - traditional outdoor woolen and oilcloth apparel

Kohler - porcelain bathroom fixtures

Pendleton - Native American pattern blankets

Limmer Boots - traditional handcrated and custom hiking boots

W. C. Russell Moccasin - traditional shoes and boots

St. Croix - fishing rods

None of the above is cheap but all quality-made and often with lifetime warranties.
