Are you among the many
who are concerned that China is taking over American commerce? Do you scour package labels to find out where
something was made and try to avoid China or other alien places? The country of
origin is often left off of packages just because of shoppers like you. The manufacturers don’t want to lose
customers.
There is now a way for you to tell
where something came from; on the barcode.

Check this out on your next shopping

is in line with what you think and feel about the World, and how you want to
show your support for what you believe.
