Better Poodle Fur Needed by Makers Of Greeting Cards KANSAS CITY. Mo.-The man who succeeds in producing a more realistic poodle fur will find a ready market for his talents. The poodles themselves have no in terest in this advance, but a Kan sas City manufacturer has. Tlte problem of finding a more satisfactory method of simulating the curly, jet-black coat of the fashionable poodle lias baffled technicians of a greeting card com pany for years, and a leading re search institute engaged by the firm admits that it hasn't been able to find the answer either but is pursuing several possible solu tions. The growing popularity of the poodle as a pet and as a decoration has put new emphasis on the search. They would like to find a material with a more lifelike curl so that their greeting card poodles will be even more realistic. Th ■ poodle problem was one phase of a project undertaken for the company by a research insti tute. in Kansas City. The institute tried many things, including heat ing and spraying the poodle "Hock ing." or fiber material, but none of them produced the desired re sults. For the time being, at least, work has been suspended on Oper ation Poodle, and the company has reconciled itselt to using extra-long flocking, which produces an ac ceptable curl. Some of the more expensive Val entines and Christmas cards are I adorned with a small packet of i sachet to provide an intriguing j aronta which, in time, diminishes I somewhat in strength. The com j pany has located a more pernia | nent liquid perfume that is ex pected to replace sachet. The re search group was asked to find a satisfactory method of applying the scent to greeting cards The i institute is now experimenting to : find a glue that smells like a I lose.
