An Original Vintage Advertising Poster (measures 11" x 21" [28 x 53 cm]) (Learn More) Wrigley's Gum has been sold by the William Wrigley Jr. Company from 1892 to the present. The company was founded in 1891, originally selling products such as soap and baking powder. In 1892, the company began packaging chewing gum with each can of baking powder. The chewing gum (led by their "Juicy Fruit" brand) eventually became more popular than the baking powder and Wrigley's reoriented the company to produce the gum. Originally, the gum was promoted as a health aid ("it stimulates digestion, keeps your face and jaws plastic, helps endurance, steadies nerves, quenches thirst, guards against sore throat"!). Either eventually the government stopped them from making so many unproven claims, or they did so voluntarily, but eventually it became an alternative to candy that we all know and love! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster is printed on a heavy paper stock that can't be rolled, so it will be sent in a flat package. Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
