I applaud this man's efforts! We need to look at the label a lot more closely these days! :wsmile:

Maybe and just Maybe americans are realizing that Cheap is not a good thing. We can compete with anybody on a level playing field. Problem is that for years it hasn't been level. I hope this is a sign of better things to come. Thanks Doug for posting this.

It is indeed good news, another thing to be considered is our vast wealth of timber for wood. As I stated in another thread, China is starting to suffer from a wood shortage, so much so that a company in GA is exporting chopsticks to China. :wsmile:

Collectively we Americans are the best in making things work. I really hope folks support this effort.

there are still manufacturers here, it's just hard to find retail outlets for them.

I think it was early 80's?, when most everything made here had a "Made in the USA" logo. It was like a nationwide marketing campaign to promote US industries. It'll be exciting to go furniture shopping! My wife will probably schedule a Dr appointment for me afterwards. I also applaud the Cochrane's and their employees. Thanks to Doug as well.
