Sometimes you have no choice. I went to buy a toaster recently. Every
single one was made in China.

We have a tank of a toaster. The Peterbuilt of toasters. It's a c.1955,
chrome and bakelight Kenmore that I picked up for a buck at my local
thrift store. Made in USA. Pops up a beautiful piece of hot toast just
begging for a slab of butter.

Have also forked over a few bucks for a chrome and bakelight waffle
iron, chrome clothes iron, and a polished aluminum(?) B&D drill - all
made in the US of A. How many of the plastic, Asian-import toasters,
irons and drills you all are buying today will still be working as the
day they were boxed at the factory come 50 years?
