The Story of Evinrude Outboard Motors

Hey, do you remember the name of the dragonfly in Disney’s The Rescuers?

The ad copy:

“BUDDIES” of Lake and Stream

Your pals of the Great Outdoors! Your pet rods and reels, conquerors of many a plunging “bronze-back” and swift-darting “rainbow”; your good old gun, slayer of whirring mallard and lumbering goose—and, sturdiest pal of all, your trusty Evinrude, at whose steady purr, miles slip away in the wake of rowboat and canoe!

What! You haven’t an Evinrude? You mean to say you still sweat at the paddle or blister your hands at the oars? That means half of every fishing or hunting trip is hard work! Take a real vacation this year, with an Evinrude to breeze you over the water.

THINK! An Evinrude costs only $10 per year, dividing its price by its life! See your sporting goods or hardware dealer to-day—and write us for illustrated catalog.
