We had fond hopes of giving a big, fat, free plug to S. & S. Patents, Inc. in this space because we like the idea of recycling even unrecappable tires into useful items (especially if there's the chance that our readers might be able to get in on the action and have yet another shot at setting up even more little businesses that might finance even more moves to the self-reliant way of life).

But, for the past three or four years, we simply haven't been able to track S. & S. Patents, Inc. down anywhere. The company doesn't seem to be at its old Chicago address, its old phone number has been given to a private family, and — in general — S. & S. seems to have evaporated without a trace. We're guessing that L.F. finally passed away and his company was either liquidated or sold to someone else (and, if sold, moved to another town).

So: Who's going to come to the rescue of Mother Earth News and our readers? Who out there knows if the S. & S. machines are still being manufactured? Who knows where we might find a used one? Who knows of a shop happily engaged in the manufacture of floor mats from old, discarded, unrecappable tires? Who can give us any leads at all on this subject?— The Editors.
