The thousands of vacationists who come to enjoy Maine's famous recreational facilities each year take away with them also a long-lasting respect for our good Maine foods. From their frequent inquiries, it is apparent that very few realize how many of these foods are available the year 'round in their own communities. So we have prepared this combination recipe book and directory of Maine Canned Foods to make it easy for these good friends to distinguish, in their local markets, the many products packed in the State of Maine from foods grown here and from sea foods caught in Maine coastal waters. Those, too, who have not yet enjoyed first-hand a real "Down East" meal, but who have a discerning taste for high quality and distinctive flavor in foods, will find it worthwhile to look for the labels of Maine canners when they buy canned sweet corn, beans, peas, blueberries, clams, sardines, crab meat and other sea foods.--Sumner Sewall, Governor of Maine

Map of the newly incorporated city of Bangor, Maine. The map was published by Nourse & Smith and printed by Pendleton of Boston. It includes references to churches, public buildings, hotels, and schools. The map is mounted on a linen backing. It was originally included with the Bangor City Directory for 1834.
This map was published sometime shortly after 1834 as it shows the Bangor House. As this map differs considerably from other maps of Bangor, this might be a proposed plan.

Respectfully dedicated to Hon. F. O. Beal: For senator from Penobscot County.

To the Catholics of Bangor who stood for the Christian Faith and whose bodies lie beneath Mount Pleasant's sod, these lines are inscribed. First stanza: It was drawing toward the close of day As through Mt. Pleasant gates I strayed, And read the name upon the stone, Where underneath their bodies laid, And, kneeling on a mound to pray My thoughts went back to days of yore–Of faces that we loved so well, Whose spirits pass to the other shore.
Respectfully dedicated to the faces we loved. First stanza: I wandered to old Mount Hope's Gate And stood within the ground, And as I gazed along the path Where ‘rose up many a mound; I thought of those we loved so well When life was young and bright, Whose bodies rest beneath the sod Now hidden from our sight.
Dedicated to the men of Maine who dare to stand for a true and just law and the repeal of prohibition. First stanza: The days have come, it’s time to act, When voters in our land, Should stand for what they think is right, And hold the winning hand; Now, Prohibition, it's got to go We hold the leading rein, To down that great hypocrisy In our old State of Maine.
In loving remembrance of those who lost their lives on board the Steamship Titanic. First stanza: It was on a Wednesday afternoon, When a steamship bright and new, From old Southampton started out To cross the ocean blue; And as the thousands on her deck, They heard the signal bell. And watched the English shores recede, As they bade that last farewell.
In loving remembrance of very Rev. Father Michael C. O’Brien, late parish priest of Saint Mary’s, Bangor.

He started out when life was young, For precious souls to save, With sorrowing hearts and deep regret They've laid him in the grave.
Dedicated to those three words: Peace on Earth. First stanza: It's midnight, and as by the hearth The fading embers glow, And visions they come unto me, Of scenes that come and go. Of Europe and her mighty war, In battle's fierce array. Then sheathe the sword, bring forth the plow, For peace this autumn day.
Where you’ll meet the tourists of every land. First stanza: The day was drawing to its close, The sea was calm, the storm was o’er The pleasure yachts they sought repose, And stretched along from shore to shore; And as I gazed upon that scene, And saw God's mighty works that day, The sunlight cast its golden beams On those grand hills far o’er the bay.
Dedicated to the people of Bangor who lost their homes on Sunday, April 30th, 1911.
