Viewing NotesViewing of .mov file on Windows on Maine; about 24 minutes. Appears to be later than Maine Marine Worm Industry completed film from 1941-1942. In the outtakes, the coverage is of preparing newspaper packing materials, bringing in boxes to basement storage area, and preparing trucks for delivery. The vehicles seem to be early 1960s era (one car with tail fins). The Maine Bait Co. building is shown in snow and summer. Individuals include a man in round horned rim glasses smoking a pipe as he moves boxes in the basement, a woman in an apron, an older man in green work outfit, a pair of men working in truck. The Maine Bait Co. house has asbestos shingles, is two stories. Also shown, large warehouse with blue pickup truck coming out and backing in to garage door. Woman at table with telephone, wall calendar. Perhaps taking orders. Radio tower in sunny sky (tower also shown near Bait Co.), and close to building with views of radio building at base of tower. Truck with LIVE BAIT on side. Sedan with aluminum boat hitched to it. Men preparing burlap bags in boat. Man at same desk pulls microphone up to himself. Then rises and collects paperwork from shelf. (1962 Bennington, VT, newspaper story reports that Ivan Flye used short wave radio in Maine Bait Co. business)
