Made in USA With Americans in great need of jobs, I decided to look into just how many factories continue to produce items "Made in USA" that I carry in my store, Viki's Valuable Finds . Americo Inc. easily qualified for this group of listings. They are located in West Memphis, Arkansas and produce vinyl goods. Domestic products are used in all of their manufacturing. Syracuse China Co., founded as Onondaga Pottery Company, was bought out by Libbey glassware manufacturers. Libbey continues to operate 2 manufacturing facilities in the USA - in Lousianna and Ohio as well as worldwide. Pfaltzgraff is another pottery manufacturer whose pieces Viki's Valuable Finds carries when available. They sold out to Lifetime Brands York PA. Pfaltzgraff has no manufacturing in the USA as of July 2005. Sakura, a major marketer of consumer dinnerware, was acquired by Oneida in 2000. In 2006 Oneida was reorganized under Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Carrollton China Co., one of eight firms who consolidated in 1929 as the American Chinaware Corporation to survive the Depression and save the future of pottery made in USA. This company ceased production in 1932. Smith Corona Typewriter Company ,started in 1886, launched the world's first laptop personal word processor. By 2010, they were no longer producing typewriters and have built a manufacturing facility in Cleveland Ohio to manufacture labels and ribbons. More to come: I have to stop and think about the jobs that have been lost in the USA so that we could all have more cheaper. Long term, is it really worth what it is costing the American people??
