How to Find Products Made in America

It seems that when we check the origin of products we use everyday, it's rare to find products that are still made in the USA. But don't fret. If you'd like to support our national economy with your spending dollars, here are some companies that take pride in being American.

Instructions

Food Products

1. Snack on Necco Wafers and Conversation Hearts, made for 160 years by the Necco Company.

9. Purchase an antique reproduction coverlet from Family Heirloom Weavers, out of Red Lion, Pennsylvania, and you'll be supporting one of the nation's few remaining textile mills.

11. Recline in a La-Z-Boy chair, which since 1928 has helped America relax after a long day on the job.
