Company Nationalities
Here is a very small list of Company Nationalities meant to get you thinking. Hopefully you'll dig a little deeper when making your own purchases. You can research though the web, ask your sales person or just look a little harder through the items on the shelf. Also see "How Americans Can Buy American" on the Links page for more information.
A mind boggling list can be found in the book available on the website www.howtobuyamerican.com in hard copy or eBook form.
