Summary

A January 1973 advertisement offered a Beaver Island snowmobiling weekend for $120 per couple; November, December, and January follow-ups advertised a $130 version with round-trip plane travel, lodging, meals, and one snowmobile for two days. Guided tours or safaris cost extra, and reservations required a $20 deposit.

Evidence and limits

This is a commercial offer, not evidence that the package was booked, operated, or completed. The advertisement names Harbor View Tourist Court, Circle M Supper Club, Island Rental Service, Ed Wojan, and Bob McGlocklin but supplies no formal business records.
