I found these interesting videos of Mercury outboard history on YouTube.

Since the early Wizards were rehashed Mercury products, Videos 1 to 3 are directly related to our beloved Wizards.

I learned some interesting things...like my old Wizard WD3, WD-4S, and possibly my WG4 were made in an old Cow Barn in Fond du Lac Wisconsin!

The rest is Mercury after they dropped Wizard but still somewhat informative. 6 and 7 are pretty much boring with CEO self Promotional parts and the company's financial spiel:
