July 2004: Crosby-Ironton, Minn. - Trail-A-Sled, Inc.'s two remaining founders, Dick Harrison, secretary-treasurer and Glen Gutzman, president pose for the Cuyuna Country Heritage Preservation Societies upcoming publication Cuyuna Country, A People's History - Volume III. This volume contains a thorough account of the companies history. The firm's third founder, Eugene "Stub" Harrison passed away in 1976. Casually reprising a similar photo taken in 1980, Glen is seated upon a wonderfully restored 1965 model, featuring the firm's patented rubber track and stylish fiberglass body. More than any other, it was this specific model which propelled the firm's extraordinary success. The companies original shop sign, circa 1961, is displayed above.  The sign is titled "Trail-A-Sled Marine," reflecting the firm's early emphasis on innovative fiberglass boat and pontoon designs.
