			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This week I hit a couple stores buying some things for a couple projects I&#8217;m working on.</p>
<p>A lot of OfficeMax Paper products are Made in the USA. It seems <a href="http://www.officemax.com/catalog/search.jsp?categoryName=Tape,+Glue,+%26+Adhesives&amp;parentCategoryID=cat_10003&amp;categoryId=cat1320026&amp;history=kc2o2fk7|prodPage~15^freeText~&quot;Made+in+USA&quot;^paramValue~true^refine~1^region~1^param~return_skus^return_skus~Y" target="_blank">Scotch Tape</a> is Also.</p>
<p>Bill @ Bye, American ran across a few <a href="http://mitusa.wordpress.com/2009/05/14/lawn-mowers/" target="_blank">LawnMowers</a>, the <a href="http://mitusa.wordpress.com/2009/05/11/jiffy-steamer/" target="_blank">Jiffy Steamer,</a> and <a href="http://mitusa.wordpress.com/2009/05/15/cliff-claven-buys-american/" target="_blank">John Ratzenberger&#8217;s (Cliff!!) Show</a>.</p>
<p>I got to shoot my <a href="http://www.henryrepeating.com/h001l_levercarbine.cfm" target="_blank">Henry Rifle</a> on Saturday. It was awesome, Got a bulls-eye at 50 yards with NO SCOPE (Lucky Shot).  I was hitting the target most of the time, The trigger is great, Leaver Action perfect.  What a wonderful Firearm, I&#8217;m very proud to own it. Article coming Soon.</p>

<p>I was amazed to find that my Sterilite Tubs and Laundry baskets were Made in the US. I was so Impressed, I needed to find out more. Where were these made?</p>
<p>I use a couple sterilite tubs for Computer equipment and Music Recording equipment. Rather heavy and the tubs hold up. I also have one in my car to keep all the stuff in my trunk in one place (Very handy for Autocross Racing). A couple for my Laundry, had these since I moved out of the parents house about 8 or 9 years ago, that is durability.</p>
<p>So I sent them an email to find out more, I like it when I get a response to my Information requests (It means less writing for me).</p>
<p><strong>Reply From Sterilite:</strong></p>
