The Dixie Bait Company was a small operation that was in business for only a couple of years in the late 1930's.

Though the box in the picture says Orange City, the company was actually located in Daytona Beach, Florida. Boxes have been found with the names of both cities.

One of the principals of the company was Richard Porter. Several years after the Dixie Bait Company went out of business, he would go on to form the Porter Bait Company, which became one of the largest lure makers in Florida.
