in official looking lettering, is what it says on the front windbreaking nose of the toboggon.
It sounded almost like a Harley Davidson, and seemed to run perfect on the dry, crusty snow as it circled around a 1/2 mile loop.
Besides the Power Toboggon, about 15 different Ford Model T cars and trucks, and one Ford Model A car, all equipped with tracks and skis, powered around the big field.
