Title:	Snow Travel
Photographer:	Unknown
Date:	Saturday, March 15, 1958
Description:	The Ridge-Runner. Arthur Franti of Heinola has developed a new mode of transportation over snow. The vehicle travels 15 miles per hour and can move over almost any kind of terrain covered with snow. He plans to eliminate the bugs and make improvements on it next year. Here is a vehicle that thrives on snow. The more the better. It sails along snowy ridges like a surfboard on the crest of waves. [Mr. Franti is shown driving his home made snow machine over a snow bank.]
