Fortunately for the little boys, the cord is soon cut, and the pup runs off to bigger and bloodier adventures involving a vicious wolverine, a great big nasty old grizzly bear, a number of extraordinarily large and healthy timber wolves who have obviously had their teeth shined up by the studio dentist, and a peculiar vertical animal called...

Seiberling Rubber Co. has tried to compromise with a combined nylon-rayon tire that, the company insists, has the advantages of both cords and the disadvantages of neither. Ironically, both nylon and rayon may lose out in the end. Experiments by tire-company researchers suggest that Dacron, Fiberglas or steel may eventually prove the most suitable tire cord...
