The Portland Press Herald reports, "Maine staple ready to explore cyberspace." I'd be thrilled if they brought their "knowledgeable sales force" and core business (balance of hunting, fishing, hiking, and watersports gear, alongside the "soft" lines like clothing and gifts) online. In the best of all possible worlds, they would have the "salespeople [who can] offer dissertations on just about every item" write the item descriptions, including information like:

...the advantages of the different fishing reels ... - what sort of line each could handle, which might work for a left-handed fisherman and other specifics.

... how a set of gaiters might work while cross-country skiing and how they should fit around the calves.

They might have a page describing that stuff about gaiters, and then have highlights on each gaiter they carry, and then a link to more details/buy it. (And then they could pay their employees something like $10 per description! for some reason I am especially excited about this idea.) Also in the best of all possible worlds, they would hire me as a consultant (pay: probably some $$ but more importantly a tent, a pair of goggles, and travelling boots).
