Design of Capt. Walter J.
Carr Adopted, To Capitalize at $250,000
Jellico, Tenn., Jan.
14 -- Airplanes are to be manufactured at Jellico. The design is such as to
enable the plane to be manufactured at a minimum cost. The capital stock
of the company will be $250,000.
Monday night at the
stockholders' meeting of the Jellico Aero club several forward steps were taken
in this organization. As a result of the successful operations of the
first six months of the club it was decided to expand the business to immense
proportions. There being a majority of the stock present in person or by
proxy. L. E. Woody, president and general managers stated that the purpose
of the meeting was to increase the capital stock, enlarge the powers of the
corporation and to transact any other business that might come before the
meeting.
The first resolution presented and unanimously adopted
was to declare a stock dividend of 100 per cent and to authorize the issuance of
the same. This was unanimously carried.
Capt. Walter J. Carr,
aviator presented a miniature production of the aeroplane that will be
manufactured at Jellico. Owing to the fact that there are no aeroplane
factories in the south makes Jellico the pioneer southern town in the
manufacturer of aeroplanes. After explaining the new plane, which will be
called the "Carrplane" Capt. Carr placed the miniature model on exhibition at
the Central Drug store.
It was also voted to change the name of
the corporation from the Jellico Aero Club to the Southern Carrplane
Manufacturing company.
