Kari-Keen Manufacturing


Kari-Keen Manufacturing Company was an American aircraft manufacturer and producer of automotive luggage.
Kari-Keen's automotive product line included the Kari-Keen Kairrier automotive trunks and beds designed by Paul Lier and patented in 1925. Production started in Leeds, Iowa. In 1937, the automotive division ceased operations.
Kari-Keen also operated a flight school to operate their aircraft, the Kari-Keen School of Aviation. In 1930 C.F. Lytle bought the assets of the aviation branch and formed Sioux aircraft. Only three new prototype models were built, and they retained the Kari-Keen logo on the tail.
