Kileigh Contemplates

A couple of days ago my wife bought some toy for her 7 year old niece Kileigh. And I wasn't really really paying much attention but I overheard her say, "How come everything is made in China?" Wow, even at seven years old she notices that nearly every consumer good we have in the country is made overseas. Now I am no economist but in my mind when our economy is encountering problems and Americans everywhere are battling to keep their jobs I guess I feel that we should support our own. That one of the reasons I chose the two companies I did as the foundation for our store. Both Ibex and Darn Tough Socks have made it a priority to keep jobs in Vermont and shown loyalty to their workers and communities. It is an honor in these times of outsourcing and anything to save an additional penny for the board of directors, to work with two companies with such a commitment to supporting the american worker.
