Be American Made

Celebrating American-made products and those that produce them.

Bezi Bra Discs

Way back in 1956 Edith’s Lingerie Shop opened in Princeton, New Jersey. The shop belonged to Anne Zuckerman’s mother. From very early in life Anne had the opportunity to watch and learn from her mother as she ran her shop. This included trips to New York City to purchase merchandise. After these years of learning and growing, Anne had a product idea that she wanted to bring to market. That product was the Bezi Bra Disc. Continue reading

Zippo

Zippo Lighters are the most quintessential lighters on the planet it would seem. Is there anyone that hasn’t seen one? Zippo began in the early 1930’s in Bradford, Pennsylvania. After watching a friend struggle with an inefficient lighter, founder George G. Blaisdell decided to construct a new version that was usable with a single hand. The name “Zippo” was created by Mr Blaisdell. He liked the sound of the word “zipper” so he formed variations on the word until he settled on “Zippo,” which he felt had a “modern” sound.
