Just Something Magic About Vintage Blues.

[Jerry Andrews]

It's a crime our country has out-sourced everything. I went to buy a GM truck and the guy at the dealership gave me the rundown. Mexican steel, imported from China, and sold to the US. Electronics, Japan. Rotors, China. Assembly, mostly Mexico. He told me if I wanted to support America buy Toyota, at least they are US Steel, Assembled in the US. What a crime. We make very few products here in America anymore. I went through Cabela's last week trying to find US products. Pretty tough. I hope something changes. Even in the fly shop, very few items made in the US. Jerry

I have no intention of shooting any of these vintage boxes of shells.
This is my newest hobby. I now have 16 boxes in my collection to date.

Jerry-I hear you. I looked at a pair of Levis and they were made in Bangladesch, another pair in Mexico. The Carharts were made in the USA.

At least my guns were made in the USA and my ammo is USA made as it's reloaded

Richard, even though your Carharts are made in USA, they cost six times what they did before the yuppies discovered them. Somehow, that money is getting to China. Carhart unlined jackets used to be about $19.95. They are now $89.95. Reminds me of the Chevrolet Suburban. How does this stuff that conservatives like somehow exceed the rate of inflation by multiples?

Maybe thats what they mean by progress....it will always cost more. I remember only being able to buy gas on even days according to the last number on your plate in the 70's and the cost was about .37 cents/gallon. In 1976 I bought a fully loaded Chevy 4X4 with a 400 CI V8 for $5500 tax and all. In 1903 my CHE 16 Bernard was discounted to $95.00 net by PArker Bros. I'd hate to say what I paid for it this summer....talk about inflation....I mean progress At least it's made in the USA
