Please purchase American made products - 99.99% of the items that we sell are American made or are printed in America. For the few new items that we sell, we make every effort to purchase American made wherever possible. Buying American made puts American workers to work, creates additional jobs, and saves energy for transportation. 

Please make every effort to recycle. All of the packing material and most of the cardboard that we receive is recycled by re-using it when shipping our products to you. We have reduced our paper use for catalogue subscriptions by over 90% and continue to try to save in these areas. Any items that cannot be re-used are sent to recycle, as is all of the paper and catalogues that we receive in the mail. Please continue to recycle such items when you receive them as well. This will aid in conserving our valuable resources and will reduce the energy necessary to make additional products.
