"Typical is one machine that li ter ally writes its name in the snow as __ it travels along. Identification is on it's track, or centre driye belt, in a way that will leave an imprint, wherever it goes... The special trade mark will be bordered, top and bottom, with an arrow pointing in 'the direction the machine is *headed. The idea for the "directional trade mark" was born of dram- atic circumstances while film- ing the T. V. Series: "-The-Pleas ures of Snowmobiling", in Northern Quebec some two years ago. One of the "grips", or stage- hands, set out on a snowmobilt to fetch, from the lodge, various propos needed to complete a scene, His trip, although relat- ively short, took him through dense woods bordering the . • Laurentide Provincial Park. En route, the man decided to take a shortcut and although an experienced snowmobile en- thusiast, he got lost. Then he thought he would hack-track... which he did till he came across another snowmobile trail. He followed it for awhile, then took another, then another, never able to tell whether the tracks were his or made by some other machine.' "'inund and 'round he went, for'more than two hours... • By this time the crew, wor- ried, had gone out after him. Experts were able to tell by the imprint of the serial number 'from the track, that the trail they'-were following was that-of the mactrine--they-were-after-- and that the direction They were inwas the right one. /fhe stagehand was soon found, a short distance from the lodge, suffering no ill effects other than he got the scare of his life. Later, when discussing the incident in front of a warm fire, the idea of a "directional trade mark" took form. Engineers quickly tackled the problem of placing the trade mark on the centre drive belt without affecting the traction of the machine. nowmobile Boots byWeather-guard for the whole family Waterproof Nylon Uppers with Rubber Bottoms Felt-Fitted Inner Boot Doubles as a Slipper UNLINED LINED .L4 TIE BOOT TIE BOOT (weer over shoe)' For All Your Winter Footwear Needs Visit Phone 527:0690 Seaforth SHOES. & LUGGAGE READ'
