I am too! The problem is that we have no choice. If we want to offer a full line of product, we have to include Chinese product, because there is so little made here any longer. I can tell you this: If we know of a USA made version, we carry it. I challenge you to find anything in our store that is made in China but has a good source from an American factory. If you find it, I will carry it. <br /><br />Here are some areas where we have problems: Cast iron (yes, we carry USA-made Lodge cookware), tools, stainless steel and glass. For example, when was the last time you saw a stainless steel USA made teakettle. (For me, it's 1970.) We have American made glass from the last family owned commercial glass factory in the USA. But the rest comes from you know where. It's a sad situation.Galen Lehmanhttp://www.lehmans.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-81964487978036430122020-04-02T11:16:36.582-07:002020-04-02T11:16:36.582-07:00I do like their stuff and have bought from them in...I do like their stuff and have bought from them in the past. Looking through one of their latest catalogues a while back, I was sad to see how many of the items were made in China though.<br />Perhaps they will rethink that moving forward?<br />-MVAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
