Made in the USA

I got an email from Fuller Brush Company. It had a little history of the company and was pleased to read.

You prompted me to look this venerable old company up, @drizzellla . Good for them!

Talk about penetrating popular culture-- they even mention "The Fuller Brush Girl", a vintage film with Lucille Ball. I bet her salesmanship exploits in that were hilarious....

Their hair brushes are very nice. Just used one of mine a bit ago. So much better than those widely spaced, ball topped ones.

Everything Kitchens has a lot of featured USA products on their home page! I applaud them for it!

I guess some other retailers don't have anything much to feature! 'Ya think?

The movie "Fuller Brush Girl" was on the Movies Channel a few weeks ago.

They used to make and sell a good product but things I've gotten from them in the past 10 years or so have been sub-par.

Just FYI, the Vermont Country Store has a category of "made in the USA" items.

I have two Fuller brush hair brushes I bought in the '90's . They have held up extremely well.

But I'm not surprised that the quality has declined with the newer brushes. Unfortunately, this seems to be a common issue with many products now.

QVC let's market more items that are made in the USA! You do not promote items that are made in the USA .Too many of your items are made in China.

@catlady122 If you want made in USA you should search them out on the internet. I don’t think QVC is the best place to go. Although they do have some things. I’m not seeing any changes in the near future.

Absolutely people should post here, and on QVC's social media platforms that they want to see more made in USA if that is what they want.

QVC offers what they can sell. If people want domestic made items, and are willing to pay for them, they will carry them when enough requests and sales warrant such, and when enough people stop buying the imports.

@Mominohio That sounds ok to me but I don't see QVC changing from the posts here. I still see posters ordering. If I was looking for merchandise made in America I would search out where to buy it. Waiting for QVC to do it I'll be to old to need anything. But I guess it has to start somewhere.

QVC used to sell Fuller Brush products. No more.

I believe the Vermont Country Store sells Fuller Brush products.
