HOME of the New Way Motor Company
Lansing Michigan - A State on the great lakes of Canada and U.S.A.
It seems though, that the New Way Motor Company focused their creative juices toward the land in their early years of development of the air cooled engine and it was some time before the water came into focus. While their advertisements show boats shooting the waves in adventurou style in essence though a 5 Hp motor was certainly admirably suited to works and pleasure in rivers and lakes.
The following short newsaper article of 1924 (TROVE) heralds the advent of the New Way Marine engine.
By 1924 New Way was well known in Sth. Aust. with a large following from agriculturalists. In about 15 years from 1907 about 1500 New Way Engines were sold in that state alone such was threir reputation. In J.H. Horwood and Co., New Way had a well respected agent and bore driller who advertised extensively. I expect the expansion to marine application by reputation, would have recieved ready acceptance in the Murray /Darling river systems. CLICK to EXPAND SIZE
