Americans love a bargain, as well as the hunt for a good deal — but many people draw the line at buying used clothing. That’s why this is National Second-Hand Wardrobe Day. The idea is to encourage thrift store donations, and to remove the stigma of buying previously used clothing and accessories by noting their economic and ecological benefits. Across the U.S., there are nearly 92,000 stores selling used merchandise, usually including clothing, and they have annual sales of nearly $10 billion. Some are commercial ventures, many are run by nonprofit organizations. About 80 percent of such stores do not have paid employees. You can find these and more facts about America from the U.S. Census Bureau on the Web at <www.census.gov>.
