Food & Gum

The William Wrigley Jr. Company, the maker of several types of chewing gum originally sold products such as soap and baking powder. In 1892, Wrigley began packing chewing gum with cans of baking powder.

The popularity of the gum caused Wrigley to change its emphasis from baking and other products to chewing gum. But, Wrigley has always had an attachment to food as you can see by these old ads.
