Calico Trailer Manufacturing Co. Inc.

Calico Trailer Mfg. Co. was founded by Dell and Barbara Liles and has been in business for over a quarter of a century. It is located in a small town in north central Arkansas named Quitman, the home to Delbert and Barbara. When Calico Trailers began, there were five other trailer manufacturers and a trailer supply store all located in the small town of Quitman. Over the years, manufacturers have closed and now all that remains of the trailer business in Quitman is Calico Trailers and the trailer supply store. Dell began business in 1983 with a borrowed welder and unable to pay the first month rent. The landlord was gracious enough to let him use the building for that month and he never missed another payment. Dell built this business with a lot of hard work and determination. He also did it with the help of friends, family and blessings from the lord.
