The Made In U.S.A. mark is a country of origin label, indicating the product is “all or virtually all” made in the United States of America. A Made in U.S.A. claim (a.k.a, American-made) represents quality, style and certifies 100% of both to the customer. This claim has changed over time from its origin in the 1920s to 1950s to our present time.

In the 1920s, Ford started producing over one million automobiles a year. World War I had ended and America (and the rest of the world) began paying attention to Ford’s Model A. Americans began to feel pride in being American and the culture coined the phrase Made in U.S.A. At the time, American design was known for lush handmade typography and an incredible attention to quality. [ 1 ]
