Truly, I can think of no better people to help with such a list than the folks at Free Republic. Thank you in advance for your assistance. I will be looking up a few goods and posting them here myself as time and opportunity allow. It will most likely prove to be a challenge for us all.

A deserving BTTT.

Okay. Here's a terrific
paper company if ever there's something you need in the way of a paper that's slightly different yet much better than the typical stuff. It's an old company based out of Niles, Michigan, not far from where I live.

Good luck with this thread! I would request that those who would think this is a bad idea (for whatever reason) please strive to keep their comments civil and to the point. I'm looking forward to seeing what is out there, what is still being made right here in the good old USA in factories that have things like safety standards, vacation pay and 40 hour work weeks, little goodies like that.

For fishing equipment: Penn Reels.

No need to buy from them just because they're made in the US, buy them because they really do make great fishing equipment.

If you want to check out some really great furniture, try
this. The Stickley Brothers, based out of Manilus, New York have been at it for over a century. We have a chair they built that used to be in my grandpas home. It has a nice look to it - not too fancy, not too plain. The new stuff probably costs a great deal, but if you can afford it, go for it. Definitely USA quality.

AMD CPU chips. Some of them, anyway. They have one plant in Texas, and one in Germany.

Red Wing Shoes. I'm hard on shoes, and they've taken everything I could dish out.
On this topic, anyone know of American made kitchen knives (middle to mid-high price range).
Some Chicago cutlery are, some aren't. I really like my Henckels (but they are made in China,
Spain, and Germany depending on which line you buy).

Glock Pistols: made in Smyrna, Georgia.
Beretta Pistols: Made in Accokeek, Maryland.
Savage Centerfire Rifles: Made in New York. (Their rimfire rifles are made in Canada.)

Arizona Jeans. Bought Two pair last year. Have been happy with them. They are top quality. I will buy them again if they are still made in the USA. With clothing I look every time. I was surprised one time to find that Levi's were no longer made in the USA.

For those who are into machining - South Bend Lathes. They're expensive but if properly maintained can be passed on to the second, third and sometimes fourth generation. Store your machinist's tools in a Gerstner solid oak or solid walnut toolchest - like the South Bend lathe these are often passed on to the 2nd and 3rd generation as well.

I will not purchase an American car until the unions break their grip on the assembly lines and the American companies start cranking out products as good as the Japanese or Germans. Until then I'll stick with my Honda (assembled in the U.S. BTW).

My philips screw driver (made in China) gets stripped after usage of two times...the steel they use is so cheap!
Madame Alexander dolls have been recently made in china and now the hair is cheap stuff and the eye sockets are all crooked, etc.....One doll outlet was complaining how sloppy the dolls were after they switched to have them made in China.
