1969
SNO SQUIRE IN AGWAY STORES.
THERE
ARE 2 POSSIBILITIES HERE.
1.
THIS SNO SQUIRE IN THIS ( AD ABOVE ) WAS MADE BY SKI DADDLER.
IT
MAY BE A PICTURE OF A CLIPPER / SNO CLIPPER BUT
SNO SQUIRE DID
NOT
LOOK LIKE THIS SNOWMOBILE IN THIS PICTURE.
THERE
ARE HUNDREDS OF ADS IN THE LATE 60'S USING ONE COMPANY'S SLED
PICTURE
TO PROMOTE A BRAND OF SNOWMOBILE THAT DID NOT REPRESENT
THE
SLED THAT WAS FOR SALE IN THE AD.
2.
THIS IS WHAT THE 1968 SNO SQUIRE LOOKED LIKE.
IT'S
POSSIBLE THAT AGWAY HAD SOME OF THE REMAINING
1967
CLIPPER / SNO CLIPPERS STILL IN STOCK AND SOLD THEM
AS
SNO SQUIRE DEMONSTRATORS.
SEE
AD FOR THE TEXT THAT SAYS THIS IS A DEMONSTRATOR SLED.

LEFT
HERE ON THIS PAGE AS A REFERENCE,
CLIPPER
/ SNO CLIPPER / SKI DADDLER - SNO SQUIRE
IT
IS VERY HARD TO FIGURE OUT THE TRUE HISTORY OF CERTAIN BRANDS
OF
SNOWMOBILES AS THERE IS LITTLE DOCUMENTATION OUT THERE.
OVER
THE NEXT MANY PAGES, I WILL BE POSTING SOME INFORMATION ON
THE
BRANDS LISTED ABOVE. IT'S ENOUGH TO MAKE YOUR HEAD SPIN TO
TRY
TO FIGURE OUT WHY THEY ARE CALLED DIFFERENT NAMES IN ADS
AND
WHO MADE THESE SLEDS TO SELL IN CERTAIN STORES.
AS
FAR AS I KNOW, THE SQUARE SHAPE
CLIPPER / SNO CLIPPER WERE
SOLD
AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER AT .........
SEARS,
AND AGWAY STORES
AND OTHER LOCATIONS / STORES.
LOOK
AT THESE PICTURES AND COMPARE.
SKI
DADDLER MADE THE CLIPPER AND SNO CLIPPER
THAT
WERE SQUARE SHAPE.
BELOW,
NOW WE HAVE A SKI DADDLER / CLIPPER / SNO CLIPPER SLED THAT
IS
CALLED SNO SQUIRE
THAT IS BEING SOLD AT AGWAY IN JAN 1969.
THIS
IS WHAT THE 1968 SNO SQUIRE LOOKED LIKE.
NOW,
BELOW, ADD INTO THIS SEGMENT THIS CLIPPER WHICH IS CERTAINLY
A
POLARIS SNOWMOBILE THAT WAS MADE FOR AGWAY TO SELL IN THEIR
STORES
AND IT MAKES YOU STOP AND WONDER.
IF
YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION THAT YOU CAN SUPPLY ON THE HISTORY OF
THE
CLIPPER, SNO CLIPPER, PLEASE EMAIL
ME. THANKS. DAVID S.
