What’s stylish, sturdy, dependable, and superbly insulated? Why Stanley of course! Whether you are talking about this handsome fella or your favorite beverage container, you will not be disappointed.

Stanley is an American brand named after William Stanley, Jr., who invented the all steel insulated vacuum bottle in 1913. Until 2002, Stanley products were produced in New England and Tennessee. This American based company’s sales increased from $70 million in 2019 to $750 million in 2023 thanks to the popularity of their Quencher line. Another perfect example of American ingenuity and entrepreneurship! To learn more about Stanley, visit this link. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_(drinkware_company)

Meet my friend Dakota, the sweet Springer Spaniel with sass.

The word Dakota comes from the Native American Sioux language and means "friend" or "ally". Many of the Dakota people originally lived in present-day Minnesota and Wisconsin. Check out this link for more information on their history: https://dakotawicohan.org/dakota-of-minnesota-history/

Later, the Dakota Territory was created by President James Buchanan in 1861. North Dakota and South Dakota became the 39th and 40th states in 1889 when statehood papers were signed by President Benjamin Harrison.

One of America's greatest characteristics is its economic system of Free- Market Capitalism. The fundamental principles include private property, profit motive, free markets, competition, and limited government. To highlight this large part of America's history, I present to you Cash who defeats all the competition when it comes to cuteness.
