Shelby's Latest Enterprise

 

"On Monday p.m., the stockholders of The Shelby Cycle Manufacturing Co., organized

with a capital stock of $120,000.00. The corporation in question elected the following

members of the Board:

 

D. L. Cockley, President

W. W. Skiles, Vice-President

H. M. Dick, Treasurer

James W. Williams, Secretary

 

The location is not yet selected but will be at no late date. It is not fully determined if

main plant is to be two or three stories with two or more winds.

 

It is claimed by the men who know whereof they speak that this enterprise will be

more beneficial to Shelby than all other manufacturies combined in Shelby inasmuch

as eighty per cent of the expenses in the manufacture of a bicycle is skilled labor.

 

Tally one more manufactury for Shelby."
