IMPORTED PRODUCTS ALEXANDRIA,
Va. — Baseball, apple pie, and Chevrolet. They’re so all-American. Or are they? Better take a second look, says “Made in the USA: The Complete Guide to America’s Finest Products.” Sure, baseball’s the national sport, and the balls themselves are sold by big U.S. companies like Wilson, Rawlings, and Spalding. But where are they made? In Haiti, says the sourcebook for the patriotic consumer. As for Chevrolet, the Beretta is fine: It’s assembled at a plant in Wilmington, Delaware. But don’t be fooled by the Lumina. They put that one together in Ontario, Canada. The apples should be OK. They’re probably from Washington or New York state. But read the supermarket signs, too. Imports are everywhere. From Associated Press in LaGrange Daily News, July 16, 1992, pg. 8
