Originally a Canadian innovation (the Mounties use them to track their man), the machine grips all kinds of snow with a tanklike traction belt of metal cleats. Outboard Marine Corp., maker of Evinrude and Johnson motors, produced two new U.S. models priced at $895, and found it had started something of a fad. The number of snowmobiles sold nationally jumped to 10,300 this year, double last year's sales...
...Tobacco Co.'s querulous George Washington Hill made his company famous with a classic slogan that urged women to "reach for a Lucky instead of a sweet." Whichever way they reach from now on, American Tobacco stands to benefit. Last week the nation's second largest cigarette maker (after R.J.

British Aircraft Corp., maker of the $2,800,000 BAG One-Eleven, has lined up 74 orders and 16 options from airlines, including three customers in the U.S.-American (25 planes), Braniff (14) and Mohawk (5). Deliveries will begin in a couple of months, nearly a year ahead of Douglas, but Douglas hopes that many airlines may hold off ordering until its plane takes...
