Potatoes and War Work Drive Maine Economy in 1943
Maine's potato promotion through the Maine Development Commission and Maine Potato Growers Association urges nationwide sales as households are reminded no rationing is required. Advertising by Brooke Smith French & Dorrance promotes hoarding as storage grows, with Maine crops shipping overseas and local stores offering affordable, healthy food. Deer hunting concludes with strong Maine participation and success. Incinerator delays persist while government aid looms to curb disease and rats at the city dump. Hyde Windlass expands office and shop, boosting war production. Boston Navy Yard to build submarines for the first time, and New England fishing faces strikes with slow settlements. Bath Iron Works adds group life insurance for workers after signing with a major insurer.
