So it is with this understanding of how wording is phrased that leads me to continue looking for specific and definitive - concrete evidence - that today's 'rubber' inner-tubes are actually MADE IN AMERICA - As in the old days, when AKRON, OHIO meant GoodYear Rubber, etc.
There is of course the MADE IN AMERICA label that has fine print indicating that the material was from XYZ & EBM, with components from EYC, assembled in ERT - all under the umbrella of 'Corporate Offices' in the USA.
"Based in", and "manufacturer" leaves room for some strong doubt as to exactly WHERE the inner-tubes are actually made. So I still wonder where the manufacturing plant is located that makes Bratton's/Snyder's inner-tubes.

This seems to be endemic. The editor of a so-called "prestigious" classic car magazine describes the Ford GT40 as the best American sports car ever. When challenged, he stated that although it was designed and built in the UK by a company completely outside the Ford Motor Company because it used a Ford engine and wore the blue oval and was paid for by Ford, it was a Ford. I guess this is another case of the golden rule - he who pays the gold rules!
