HETTEEN & JOHNSON

In the early 1950s, Allan Hetteen and David Johnson were building crude snowmobiles in their spare time in Roseau, Minnesota. Allan's brother Edgar recognized the potential market for such a machine. At the time, Edgar and David had an industrial equipment company known as Hetteen Hoist and Derrick. Their first snowmobiles didn't fare on the market, but the three eventually figured things out. If you've never heard of Hetteen Hoist and Derrick, that's not surprising. The three men later renamed the company. You know it better as Polaris Industries. Edgar later left the company and went on to form another well-known brand, Arctic Cat.
