LU6EC SARDINE CO,

One Of the leading fishing industries
of the state of Maine, and at the same
time one of the most interesting indus
tries on the coast, is the packing of
ssardines. The catching of small herring
for this purpose now gives employment
to many fishermen along the coast of
Eastern Maine. and large packing plants
have been established which now pre-
pare a product which compares well
with the imported French sardine The
first successful attempt at packing sar-
dimes in this country was started at
Eastport in 1875 and the industry has
since been practically confined to this
State. and Eastport and Lubec have
been the principal places where the
work has been carried on, although of
late years scattered plants have been
located at other points, one of the finest
of these being in the city of Belfast,
where the plant has a capacity for pro,
ducins from $4,000 to 10000 cases per
annum.
The local plant has been great boon
to the fisher men, and to scores of work
ing people OF this vicinity, for at times
as many as 200 hands are employed in
this one factory. 1t was erected in 1911
