"These are just a few of the great American Products and products harvested by Americans like the salmon!"

Truly a post rich in recommendations. Thanks.

I'm particular to Marcellius Casket Company, Syracuse NY., (It has been 20 years after my 20 years in the business, I don't know if they are still "alive".

The "SOLID BRONZE SARCOPHAGUS"-------could only be moved by power lift.

Formerly a NYS Licensed Funeral Director.

Plying the trade is "ELGIN" Caskets.

Ironically, ELGIN PERMASEAL-----------------IS owned by "Sealy Mattress!"

The reason I don't maintain my license is due to a new NYS health law, that law requires 20 hours of trainng to the benefits of latex gloves. The fee is $50.00.

$50.00 is no problem, sending it to the fat-ankle-slob called Hillary Rodham is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Quality went away in most everything years ago. The companies today want your money , offer no service and don't want to see your face again till next time you buy a piece of Junk."

This kind of criticism is not at all lost on me. All the more reason for us to take a moment and search out the things that are not junk. More and more one must search for the best. Perhaps a good guitar brand will evolve. Otherwise, if it's guitars, you might want to try Ebay for an old Fender.

The last pair of small Craftsman diagonal cutters I purchased from Sears broke in normal use. They were $12 and had Craftsman and FRANCE printed on them. They were cheerfully replaced with another pair, also from France. So don't bet on Craftsman tools being USA products. Their bulletproof warranty seems to work still, however.

"those were the days before CPSC!"

Man, ain't that the truth. But what the hel* is "CPSC"?

American heavy equipment manufacturing has gone overseas.  Hi tech Defense technology was sold by globalists to the Chinese.  Look at what else is Made in America:  Monsanto, Terminator, Round-Up, the U.N. ...

I'm particular to Marcellius Casket Company, Syracuse NY.

I worked at a funeral home in Ft. Worth back in the 70's, and used to DREAD it when the Marcellus truck showed up. We'd be unloading those beautiful woods for two days.

A Marcellus casket is an ornate, magnificent piece of furniture! Those solid mahogany full couch sealer beauties with red velvet interiors were the most beautiful caskets I'd seen before, or since.

JFK was buried in a Marcellus.

Belmonts are the choice of most other presidents, however. Those rounded edges are the dead give-aways.

Also, just about any furniture manufacturer in Hickory, NC turns out furniture far superior to that from manufacturers in Europe. Sure, you could probably find an exclusive manufacturer over there with good quality, but I'm talking about product for Joe Blow, not His Excellency, Sir Joe Blow

[FatherTorque]

Hah, 56 replies and nobody has mentioned the company that is more linked to America than any other?!

Harley-Davidson motorcycles

Nothing offends like the sight of a Cosco container.

No sh*t! Me too! I see them up and down the Interstate all the time. It drives me nuts.

With the market the way it is down here, only idiots who don't know who they work for are toting these things on their rig. I hope.

Here's another one for you.

 

Lexington Plant

The Procter & Gamble Lexington, Kentucky Plant is the sole manufacturer of Jif, the nation's number one choice of peanut butter. The Lexington Plant, which is the largest peanut butter producing facility in the world, was purchased by P&G in 1955, when the peanut butter label was "Big Top." The manufacture of Big Top was phased out by P&G early in 1971. In addition to making regular Jif (creamy and crunchy), the Plant manufactures Simply Jif, which is low in salt and sugar, and Reduced Fat Jif. About one in every ten peanuts grown in this country for domestic consumption ends up in a jar of Jif.

Those South Bends are pretty good. I believe hardinge lathes are still made in new york as well, & i've had good luck with them. Also MAC tools are made entirely in the US & used to be very high quality. I don't know for sure anymore, but I bet they are still pretty darn good. Oh, I think that Browne & Sharpe measuring tool are made in the US also.
