WATERWAYS ARE NEW
HIGHWAY'S OF HAPPINESS
It was Johnson who first gave to .a
water ruotori ng public dependable
autboapd performance.
Before Johnson, all outboard .mo
tors were cumbersome affairs, weigh- !
ing 80 pounds and more. Without j
carburetors and without adequate, ig- j
nition. starting was uncertain. They 1
were low-powered, they . were, slow
and very difficult to maneuver, and
operate, and undependable for effi,
cient water transportation.
The Johnson Light Twin of 192.2,
weighing 37 pounds, was a tremen- j
dous advance in outboard engineer
ing. . It blazed the trail to , better j
motor designs—a trail which all-out,
board, makers subsequently picked up
and are now attempting to - follow.
In a Johnson you will find the one
motor which has influenced and con
tinues to influence the entire field of
outboard design and performance.
Further evidence that Johnson con
tinues year after year to set the nape
for dependable outboard performance
is to be found in the fact that. over
50 per cent of all outboard, motor
purchasers prefer Johnsons. .
No matter what motor you buy,
you will find that the important im
provements which modernize. it are
embodiments o.f Johnson features.
That is what Johnson leadership
means to you—expressed in terms of
first, dependable performance, and
second, advanced refinements.
Johnson Motors performed superb- \
ly for Commander R. E. Byrd, who
used them in connection with his
memorable flight over the North Pole. |
Johnson Motors won praise from
Commander Donald B. MacMillan for j
their constant efficiency on his last j
1 two expeditions through the frozen j
Arctic into the Polar zone when he
was encountering great difficulties.
Such is the unrivaled performance
you secure when you buy a Johnson.
It is a kind of outboard, performance
that was unknown six years ago—a
kind that can be found today only in
this motor. With a Johnson you
know that your motor wilt give you
abundant power under , the most try
ing circumstances—-and give it
smoothly, unfailingly.:
The Northern Commercial Company
of Alaska, ..with stores at McGrath,
Takotna^ifiethel and Akiak, are the
Sole Agflnts for the Johnson Out
board-Motors in the Territory of
Alaska.
