From _Hudgo@medt.com_ (mailto:Hudgo@medt.com) Middlesboro Daily News, Middleboro, KY - Jan. 14, 1921 Jellico Club To Make Airplanes 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.
