Short Caption: 

C.G. Taylor moved Taylor Brothers Aircraft company to Bradford, Pennsyvania in 1928 but the Chummy was too expensive and the company failed.

Description: 

Looking for larger quarters, Taylor gained the support of investors in Bradford, Pennsylvania, and moved Taylor Brothers Aircraft Company there in 1928. Startup costs and slow sales of the expensive $4,000 Chummy as the Great Depression began forced Taylor to liquidate the company.
