“I’m
looking for one of those electronic thermometers that also gauges humidity; the
kind with the sensor that you put outside.
I want to find one that is made in the United States of America.” The Newton Falls Public Library staff located
several companies which manufactured these weather stations, including Lacrosse
Technologies.
Looking
at the companies, we could not find any that had their factories in the United
States. Our next step was to examine websites which highlight products produced
here. Some of the websites are: www.hometownusastores.com, www.themadeinamericamovement.com,
www.madeinamericastore.com, madeinusaforever.com, and www.stillmadeinusa.com. The last website is interesting because you
can narrow your search by state, learning about some products that are made
there.
Continuing the search, our staff found an Accurite
digital thermometer with humidity gauge and clock on the website www.jackscountrystore.com. It is noted on the site that “This item
proudly made in the U.S.A.” We informed our patron so he could see if this was
the one he wished to purchase.
