Anyone who spends any time with me knows that putting or keeping my neighbor working is important to me. The outsourcing of America has left us with little more than a bunch of service industries. We need to make things, put pride back into the made in America brand. As I find companies that work hard to put America to work I will share them with you. I will share companies that are working to change the footprint we leave on the planet. I hope you will all take the time to support these companies and in turn put your neighbor and mine back to work!
When you reach for your next roll of aluminum foil grab the Reynolds!
My family was a supporter of Reynolds for years. This foil literally saved our familie’s mobile home when the kids were all little. I had left some cupcakes on the stove and went off to work. Late that morning the call came to work saying the house was on fire. I raced home expecting to find little more than a shell. To my surprise when I turned the corner our home was still there.
I had put the cupcakes on a Corel plate with Reynolds wrap over the top and placed them on the stove. Our dog had tried to get a treat and turned on the burner under the plate. The strength of the plate and wrap was enough to hold the fire inside. The cupcakes burned to ash, the smoke setting off our fire alarm that got our neighbors attention, who in turn called 911. Yes it was a string of events that saved the home, but we were so thankful to Reynolds for the durability of their product we wrote them and have remained faithful customers. The foil from that day is framed and hung in the kitchen of each home to remind us just how lucky we got.
When I started to look in my cupboards and drawers to see what was made here and what was imported I found those great words on my Reynolds wrap, Made in America! The best news of all came from Reynolds this past year. 100% recycled aluminum foil!
So next time you need some aluminum foil please grab the Reynolds, you will get a quality product. It may cost a penny or two more, but it is worth it for the strength of the product alone. Plus the people who will have jobs this Christmas in Richmond, VA will be thankful and so will our economy. We can’t spend if we don’t work. Think about it…
