1964 Press Photo Bait Vending Machine

A merchant from Toulouse has just started an initiative that will interest all the French fisherman who don't have the patience to buy the bait they need themselves. Mr. Maurice Maillet tranformed a sandwich vending machine into a bait vending machine. According to how much bait you need, you put in 2 or 4 francs and out comes a nylon bag crawling with worms. Happy fishing! Mr. and Mrs. Maillet are pictured in front of their bait vending machine which sells 80 bags of bait a day.
