Are you sure this is right?
I’m looking at a book right now with the bar code 9 780805078046 51700
And on the frontis page it says “Printed in U.S.A.”
I’m also looking at a bottle of Sanford brand white out with the bar code 0 4154028400 0 and on the bottle it says “Made in Thailand”.
You had better check your facts.
The bar code represents the country of origin, not necessarily where it was manufactured. Just learned that. The site has been updated to reflect that.
Thompson’s water seal.
032 “Manufactured by the Thompson’s company Cleveland Ohio.”
What it doesn’t say is whether it was actually manufactured IN Cleveland Ohio.
I worked for a company that imported products from China and repackaged them in boxes that said in very large letters “MADE IN THE USA”. When I asked the company owner about it he said, “Well, the boxes are made in the USA”.
I think it’s kind of funny that so many companies feel a need to confuse or receive the consumer into thinking they’re buying an American made product.
