Description
Three color 4 1/2″ x 12 1/2″ ad for their Johnson QD Gear Shift Outboard Motor. There is a picture of this motor connected to a Mile-Master Fuel Tank and the banner shouts “Neutral Forward Reverse”. The text claims this motor is so new it has outboard motordom “buzzin”. It claims it is “New in operation – new in performance – new in thrills“. It talks about being capable of “luxury-boat maneuverability of neutral-forward-reverse” of having the “convenience of extra-long cruising range” and of giving the “thrill of ‘big’ power at no sacrifice of DEPENDable slow speeds”. It claims this motor is in production now and offers a Free Handy Chart which will give more information on this and other Johnson motors.
