of success SAN ANTONIO (AP) They may not be the biggest or the best sculptures Ken Moore has ever created but his 79 varieties of wax Scentchips have proved to be the product with the sweetest smell of success Moore a former clinical psychologist inventor and artist and his artist wife Kathy first delved into the candle-making business almost 10 years ago It go well While Mrs Moore struggled to keep the business going Moore worked as a restaurant manager to keep them solvent Things changed when Moore dreamed up Scentchips scent-saturated chips of wax shaped like a flower and leaf and measuring less than 1 inch in length The chips can be placed in a bowl and used as potpourri or burned using a wax cone in the center of the mixture of chips This year the Moores expect their Scentchips to gross $8 million in sales The patented chips are sold in retail stores in all 50 states In creating a new product category Scentchips successfully fought off corporate giant Hallmark which had tried to market a similar product under the name Scent Chips The chips come in 52 fragrances including vanilla chocolate cinnamon strawberry lemon orange lime maple dove mid the Christmas scents of frankin held a salaried job Bhutto was educated at a series of convent schools in Pakistan and went to Radcliffe College as an undergraduate in 1969 After her graduation with a BA cum laude in government in 1973 she enrolled at Lady Margaret Hall Oxford University where she remained until 1977 earning a BA in philosophy politics ana economics She returned to Pakistan in June 1977 just before her father Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto who had been in office since 1971 fell from power Mr Bhutto overthrown in a coup led by his army chief of staff Zia was executed two years later on a conviction of conspiracy in a political murder After Zia refused worldwide pleas to pardon him Ms Bhutto resolved to defeat the man whom she says assassinated her father death in August opened the way to the Nov 16 election that brought Bhutto to power she calls his death Ms mother Nusrat was a relatively emancipated woman for her time the daughter of an Iranian business family Nusrat strong personality she is now chairwoman of the Pakistan Party and a member of parliament has influenced Ms Bhutto acquaintances say But most intense almost blind devotion centered on her father who involved her in politics from an early age Mr Bhutto was a controversial figure politically and personally but Ms Bhutto will brook no criticism of him those who know her say Western education during years when the feminist movement was strong has paradoxically helped her in adjusting to one of her most surprising decisions: her agreement to an arranged marriage When she accepted a proposal from Asif Ali Zardari another rich Sindhi (with his own polo team) she said that she had learned in the West that marriage and a career even a political career could be balanced When she found the right Pakistani who could accept this view die was prepared to become an Eastern bride were coming into marriage with no Bhutto wrote of her wedding to Zardari on Dec 17 1987 when they were both 34 love could only grow" On Sept 21 1988 their first child a son Bilawal was born in Karachi Bhutto she chose to keep her name was on the campaign trail the next month reached its peak and retailers were buying the candles but they were putting them on their shelves and never coming back for In August 1980 Moore came up with the idea for Scentchips He thought of marketing a bouquet of candles or chips as florists market flowers The Moores started out making the chips on cookie sheets and taking them to arts and crafts fairs The product was prepackaged and sales began to soar within a year In 1983 Moore and his attorneys were able to convince a US patent examiner that Scentchips are unique Moore is in a position to help his fellow craftsmen but times so cheery back in 1979 when he and his wife got into the candle-making business He was a clinical psychologist growing frustrated hearing other problems To take his mind off their woes Moore turned to painting and sculpting in his spare time But his creative spirit continued to yearn and he gave up his psychology practice in Houston so that he and his wife could move to San Antonio and open their own business the Puff Stuff Candles shop that time the candle market had cense and myrrh Nineteen fragrances mimic perfumes The Scentchips venture that first only induded the Moores and some of their family members now employs 75 people By this time next year Moore expects to chip in some of the Scentchips earnings to finMUM construction of an old Texas Christmas Village north of San Antonio His 50000-square-foot Scentchips production plant will be the anchor attraction among many arts-and-crafts shops that will open for a six-week Christmas sales-and-snow extravaganza His parents are Fernando and Gloria Lerma Rodriguez of El Paso
