You respected other people's property and if you borrowed something, you returned it in as good of condition or better than when you borrowed it; not break it and give it back with an empty, "Sorry" - if you even get that now days...
When you bought something that was made in the USA, it was a good product and did the job it was intended for and lasted a long time... Much longer than the manufacturer's warranty... Not like today where it is designed to break just after it's out of warranty, and they want to sell you an extended warranty for their inferior product....
