Ricardo De Blanco, a Texan with lavish tastes and enough oil wells to gratify them, was quite pleased with the diamond-buckled gold belt which Dallas' Linz Bros, had sold him "to wear with slacks." But his pet grey poodle, Toto, was troubled: his unruly hair kept tumbling into his eyes. Could Linz Bros, make Toto happy, too? It could, indeed.

Their decision to let Oscar fend for himself, they said, was not "commercialistic," but "in the interests of less commercialization . . . The companies should not be in the position where they can be accused of subsidizing an artistic and cultural forum. In fact, they so have been accused often in the past...
