(Mostly) Made in America

Here’s one way to gauge the growing interest in buying and selling products made in America: When David Seliktar wanted to set up a website offering goods produced only in the U.S., all the obvious names were taken—including StillMadeInTheUSA.com. Seliktar’s KeepAmerica.com will open for business at the end of March, with some 200 vendors selling everything from furniture to clothes, toys, jewelry, and food. Prices will range from a couple of dollars to a couple of thousand.
“If everyone spent even 10 percent more than they do now on American-made products, our economy would improve,” says Seliktar, who has helped run a family jewelry business in New York.
