Aerial view of Caledonia Place industrial area in 1962 with building at 1219 Courtesy Rd. <br />Jerry Maxwell, Maxco Ownership, 1972-1974 <br />In 1972, Henry Wigton sold the remaining lot to Jerry Maxwell for $10,000. Jerry Maxwell <br />(1934-1972) was a former employee of Lange Co. and had acquired the patent and <br />manufacturing rights for the Lange Ski Binding which was notable for its innovation using a heel <br />release mechanism (Appendix A). Maxwell trademarked the "Inex" binding and began <br />production at 1219 Courtesy Rd. under the company name, Maxco, formed along with Wallace <br />Grant and Tom Brock. <br />Jerry Maxwell was born in Colorado in 1934 and lived in Nebraska until moving to Colorado to <br />attend college. He married Enid Wilson of Louisville in 1962. They had seven children and lived <br />at 701 Garfield. Prior to starting Maxco, Maxwell also ran an antique shop at 700 Main called <br />Artifact Antiques. He was active in Louisville government and successfully ran for City Council in <br />1971. He was a member of the Urban Renewal Authority and the Planning Commission as well <br />as the newly formed "Louisville Community of Commerce." Jerry Maxwell was tragically killed <br />at age 39, when his car was hit by a train in December 1972 while crossing the tracks at South <br />St. In 1973, the deed for the property was transferred from Maxco to Wallace Grant and Tom <br />Brock and in 1974, they sold the property to Edward Deborski. <br />
