A facinating look into Mercury Marine
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is a well researched book that discusses everything from the beginings of Mercury Marine to present. It discusses their early day business dealings with Montgomery-Ward, and how Kiekhaefer helped them survive it all to become the largest marine brand. This also has some excellent photos and old Mercury ads that are of interest to TRUE marine buffs.
