The Industrial Bear

This article first appeared in issue 10, and was written by Ed Waggener.

The Industrial Bear:

1-Bear track tennis shoes

Already, the idea of an industry has been born of the bear search. Johnny Vaughn is patenting his idea for bear shoes. He says he'll need to get a Taiwanese athletic shoe manufacturer to make a bearfoot mold and produce tennis shoes with soles which will make a bear track. It's a zillion dollar idea, right here in AC, he believes.

2-Plywood bear cut-outs

Not original, the idea of cutting out painted, faux bear cut-outs made from plywood has been proposed. Some would be standing, some would be big bear size, some cub, Some would be of bears climbing, and these would be nailed up in trees.
