Past USA Icons - No longer made in the USA
It seems that as we grow and watch the world change, it is exactly that,
which happens. For years as a child, it was branded into my mind to
buy USA products if possible, and many of the things I came to love were in
fact made in America. My baseball glove was made in the USA, my tennis
shoes were made in the USA (until I started having to have Nike). My
jeans and toys were made in the USA as well.
Many efforts to contact companies regarding their policies on keeping
products made in the USA come up fruitless. It seems that many
companies that are major names in the USA, don't want to promote the fact
that their products are in fact made overseas, and not by American citizens.
