When Winter Comes A "Snowmolvic" used in the Maritime Provinces D OWN in the Maritime Pi ovinces the Canadian Fords wear snow shoes. Here is a Ford "Snowmo- bile" all set for a hard winter. Pro^f that it will get over the "Toads no matter how high the drifts may be is furnished by Cap- Uin Donald McMillan, tin/ 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 ice on one expedi- tion, at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour. This, of course, is far better than dogs can do in or- dinary circumstances. The McMil- lan "snowmobile" has tread and runners. a tractor A Model A Ford, such as that ccrn 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 rase on well built roads on which, however, three or four feet of snow has accumulated. The "snowmobile" has skiia 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. I his own Loarel and lodgings.
