Wally World tried the "buy American" gambit during one of the many recent spasms of rampant nationalism. The PR kinda fell apart when astute individuals pointed out that it was hard to do because you couldn't find anything made in America in a WalMart.
Ol' Sam built his vampire...er, empire...on selling the cheapest shit he could get his hands on, and he didn't care where it came from.
Just for the amusement value: Sam's first big retail coup came off a load of cheap ladies' panties. That's what he said in his autobiography.
