Unfortunately for us and our country....most fabric mfg now print/process in China, Pakistan and anywhere else BUT here.........I wonder which ones actually have working mills here in the states and produce from beginning to end here?? Would be interesting to know......WM like any other large corp sees an opportunity to increase profit margin and goes for it, that's how it is. I remember when WM first came on the scene, they advertised only made in America would be sold at their stores....well prices could not be kept low and product availability was not enough to keep that slogan, so here we are world......[/quote]
Although I buy American whenever I can, even the best high end fabrics often have at least part of their processing done in foreigh countries. It is just impossible to know with soft goods in particular. I think Walmart as well as other companies must make hard choices today in order just to meet their stockholders expectations and stay in business. This is a tough economy and buying American is not always feasible for those who must make every penny count. Blame it on Washington and the elected representatives who are so out of touch that they loaned billions to overses companies instead of putting our own people to work.
