The Huron Expositor, 1971-11-18, Page 11Ship -Record- Half Million Snowmobiles It's an open secret th.. deep, snowy silence of the nor thern woodlands has been awak- ened by the muted roar of snow- mobile engines. Not so•well recognize'd Is the winter "boom" of unimagined ...economic proportions arising -from these same lithe snow ma- chines. According to U. S. and Can- adian manufactiirers shipped a record 505,000 snowmobiles last winter, resulting in retail sales approaching $600-million! Two immediately obvious economic benefits are thousands of new manufacturing jobs, mostly in the snowbelt itself, and _dramatic increases in sales for boat dealers and marinas, lawn- and-garden stores and other snowmobile retailers in the same area. That's just the obvious part. Even more startling is the impact of snowmobile usage. It begins with huge purchases of lubricants, spark plugs and other parts, and -as much as 100'-million extra gallons of gasoline for the estimated 1-million machines on the continent. Add to, this the purchase of special winter clothing (much of it ever more fashionable and expensive), trailers, tools and accessories'', unprecedented win- ter occupancy of northland motels and resorts, and hearty con- sumption of food by the snow- mobilers - and you have .the ingredients of a new, snow- mobile-based $1.8-billion econ- omic boom in the snowbelt!
