Agnes by Tony Cochran for March 15, 2024

umm let’s hope that one is made in the US then

Yes, but the collecting was done right here in the U.S.

A 100% American collection.

Agnes, just notify MeTV, and ask them to put you on their silly show COLLCTORS’ CALL.

I still use a Swingline 99 that is made in the USA. It’s vintage I guess, just like me. Still works.

Technically, the COLLECTION was made in the ol’ red, white and blue. But like all cars, parts are made everywhere in the world, and they are ASSEMBLED in the U.S.

That’ll certainly limit the audience for Agnes’ collection.

The list of things totally made 100% in the United States is probably pretty small. The material, shipping, assembly, packaging, owners/shareholders all likely have a foreign component somewhere along the line.

The USA stapler company demanded higher wages, so they were sold off to a foreign company

Our grandson had his fifth birthday. His favorite gift was a stapler. His second favorite is a $3 calculator. Go figure.

The one from Canada is American, North American.

A moving target.

…and Agnes is 100% American…unfortunately.

Close enough.

trout’s such a stickler for niggling details… ☺
