ADVE.RTISING AND CHEWING GUM

Talk about what advertising has done for "Sunkist" oranges, and for "Sunm'aid" raisins-yet and for adenoids 'and for puss-pocke.ts at tooth-roots, e,t.c.-but when you get to.talking about what advertising has done for an inclustry, take a look at chewing gum.

The Department of Commerce of these United States reprcrted just the other day that the consumption of chewing gum in the United States during the good year 1922 was FORTY ONE MILLION DOLLARS WORTH. Something in the near neighborhood of FOUR BILLION CHEWS.

The year 1914-the year the war started-is often taken as a good criterion for before the war statistics. In 1914 the con'sumption of chewing gum in this free and unafraid land of ours was about SEVENTEEN MILLION DOLLARS WORTH.

SOME increase in nine years. whv?

Is th'ere need .to ask?

ihere are two words in the answer, and they should be separated. They are-ADVER-fISING and WRIGLEY.

It was Wrigley who put cheiving gum advertising on the map. It was he who made this nation take up the gum chewing h,abit two and one rthird tirres as strong as tl-rey had ever done. And he did it entirely by advertising.

It wasn't the <lirect result of making better gum,, because he went out ancl created a demand before he actually made an.'r gum. I,t was \\'riglev advertising that people bou3ht 6rst-not GUM.

C)f course, others followed in his footsteps to some extent and there has been strong advertising besides Wrigley's. Gum competition became active. And gum chewing in'creased.

'And some folks say that i,t's hard to trace results from advertising. Not from Wrigley's. Watch their jaws.
