Description
Black and white 5 3/4″ x 9 1/4″ ad for their Spearmint Pepsin Gum. The ad has a picture of a dapper older man bringing a stick of gum to his mouth while the ad headline has him saying “Wrigley’s Spearmint is my protection against indigestion”. The ad goes on to make other claims about how it makes you have an appetite and how it will keep you regular. The ad also contains a Caution warning the readers against people who re-wrap “rank imitations” to look like Wrigley’s. The ad warns that “These will be offered principally by street fakirs, peddlers and candy departments of some 5 and 10 cent stores”.
