I but a lot of clothes and shoes for my one year old granddaughter. I can assure you none of the items were made in the United States of America.

“I buy a lot of clothes and shoes for my one year old granddaughter. I can assure you none of the items were made in the United States of America.”

Back in the ‘70s a friend of my parents was manager of a local mill that made clothing for several major labels, Van Heusan, iZod, etc. He lamented even back then, that after he bought the material for a pair of pants, he could ship it to a Caribbean island, have it cut, assembled, and shipped back for less than the cost of paying one American worker to install one zipper. That plant, along with all the other manufacturing in that blue collar town in a right-to-work state, is long gone.
