JOHNSON

4 cylinder

SEA HORSE

TERE is the king of the Sea-Horses-Johnson

and this scason has hung up records of speed, en-. durance and power all over Americn,

This Sea Horse is equipped to give its owner everything he can ask.

The Johnson Release Charger is one of the con- tributing factors to the efficiency of this lender, of outboard motordom. With this Johnson inven- tion, starting is certain and its case is so marked that the exertion is negligible, Ân casy tug of the starting rope starts the Sea Home on its way.. This powerful meter is so quict that even at high speeds all the noise heard is the sweetly reassuring whir of smooth-running machinery. The Johnson Underwater Exhaust does away with cimust noises and exhaust fumes as well.

There are other Johnson Sen Horses they range in price from $115 to $325 f.o.b. Waukegan, Ill.. Busy payments if desired.
