All American Products Floor Concept Proposed by Insurance Reader
A 52 year old insurance agent suggests department stores create an all American products floor. The plan would feature only US made goods across all categories to revive shopping and restore service, with customers free to browse other floors. He argues it would boost sales and provide Americans a tangible choice during tough economic times. The idea is pitched as non jingoistic and practical. Bob Greene's column appears Fridays in The Gazette.
