Description
Three color 5″ x 13 3/4″ ad that is for Beech-Nut Peppermint Flavored Gum. This ad has a photo showing two people riding a bicycle-built-for-two, although I have my feelings that it is a fraud. I don’t recall there ever being a bicycle built that had the front seat cut away for a girl and the back seat with the boy’s build. The headline in this ad says that “The time has come for Beech-Nut Gum“ and goes on by saying “Bicycling! Tennis! Golf! All sports are extra fun when you refresh with Beech-Nut Gum. Your choice of Peppermint, Spearmint, Oralgum and three flavors of candy-coated BEECHIES, Peppermint, Spearmint and Pepsin. Beech-Nut Gum is made in Flavor-Town (Canajaharie, N.Y.)…famous for Beech-Nut flavor and quality”.
