Here is a Ford "Snowmo- bile" all set for a hard winter. Proof that it will get over the roads no matter how high the drifts may be is furnished by Cap- tain Donald McMillan, the famous Arctic explorer, who was first to use a "snowmobile" in the Far North. With his Ford thus equip- ped he travelled nearly two thous- and miles over ic on one expedi- tion, at the/fate of twenty-five miles an, Your. This, of course, is far better than dogs can do in or- dinary circumstances. The McMil- lan "snowmobile" has a tractor tread and runners. A Model A Ford. such as that shown in the accompanying illus- tration, is used by a lumber con- cern in the Maritime Provinces. It travels regularly over a rough wood road at ten miles an hour. Another used by a large hotel, has accomplished a speed of twenty- five to thirty miles an hour with ease on well built roads on which, however, three or four feet of snow has accumulated. The "snowmobile" has skits where the front wheels ordinarily would be. Heavy chains furnish traction for the rear wheels no matter how deep the snow may be. A Ford dealer has just reported that one such car regularly car- ries five passengers over a wood road to a lumber camp. s. . o the repetition.
