RE: SF advertising mug...bought it now - 3/7/2010 12:33:08 PM    Lordbud   Posts: 2247 Joined: 6/16/2005 From: San Jose Status: offline Here's a little bit about the "Made In Germany" marking which was first required by law in Britain, then in the U.S.: On October 1st 1890 the Congress of the United States passed the so-called 'McKinley Tariff Act', a law that was introduced by the 25th President, William McKinley. This law not only imposed the highest tariffs that the United States had ever placed on imports it also demanded that regardless of country of origin all items imported to the US had to be marked as such, 'FOREIGN'. The act was later revised in two steps and while the first allowed the real country of origin to be used, based on the fact that Great Britain had already forced Germany to use 'Made in Germany' for their goods. The second change introduced the regulation that only standard English terms and characters were legit after the newly-founded state of Czechoslovakia in 1918 had started to use foreign characters (see 'Čechoslovakia' on marks (1918-1920)'). _____________________________ Jason San Francisco Bay Area bottles and go-withs.
