I'm still having trouble with the format as an interview. Let's try a couple of sample ways to do it differently, and folks comment on them:
Original: Being in the Auto business, have you brought any of the "Auto business" into poker chips?Jim Blanchard: Not really, I don't see much of a connection. What attracted me to this business was this uniqueness. When we had an opportunity to buy this business, most people never knew it existed here in Maine. I grew up in Portland, and I didn't know it was here and it was a mile from my house (laughs). It was a fairly unique business, and fairly secretive.
With it being this lost secret, how many people are in the actual factory?Jim Blanchard: Well, we have two locations. In the principle manufacturing location, there are probably ten people.
So it's really more like a mom and pop business.Jim Blanchard: Yeah, it's a small operation. We also have some people working in Canada at our place up there. Then we have a retail store at a different location, and we've got some people working there. Actually manufacturing, maybe ten people.
Has the company always been this secluded?Jim Blanchard: It's always been in Maine, in Portland Maine since 1913.

Or maybe a combination of one or more of those styles?
