Johnson Ad and Poster Collection: Johnson Outboards was a US based manufacturer of outboard motors.
The original company to make Johnson inboard motors and outboard motors was the Johnson Brothers Motor Company of Terre Haute, Indiana, United States. A few years after the Johnson brothers’ factory in Terre Haute was destroyed by a tornado in March 1913, the brothers relocated to South Bend, Indiana and then Waukegan, Illinois. (Wikipedia)
