Jamaican prosperity lies in simple things....like pillows

BUY JAMAICAN BUILD OUR COUNTRY


BUY JAMAICAN GOODS, PRODUCE, SERVICES ETC


READ THE LABELS- BUY” MADE IN JAMAICA


WE ARE PROUD TO BE JAMAICANS


JAMAICA’S PLEDGE- SO THAT


JAMAICA MAY UNDER GOD INCREASE


IN BEAUTY, FELLOWSHIP AND


PROSPERITY
 
This is such a serious thing for Jamaicans for us to change our attitude towards our selves and our products. We have to make a conscious decision to buy local because its soooo easy to buy imports as we are flooded with imports. For example I needed some pillows for our bedroom and as usual you could go to the retailers who import pillows. But I remember when we were kids when we needed a pillow you buy it from the " PILLOW MAN"  that was the local guy who would make and sell pillows.
I saw a guy selling pillows yesterday, the poor guy was heavily laden with pillows I had to wonder if he had managed to sell any that day. I got two soft pillows for J$500 each and I really hoped he got to sell more. Of course the pillows are soft and comfortable like any pillow.
They usually sell soft medium and firm. I was able to get a locally made product that was cheaper than the imported pillows and help to spend the money here locally.
 
Lets really try and do this

  1. Not a bad idea. I never thought about where they were made before...
