, Face to Face ? With r William Wrigley —— The Gum Magnate of the World j (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) * At last —the why of gum in a “gum--1 shoe” detective. The discovery has just been made by a small-town ( sleuth in Pennsylvania who was | called in a case'of a grocery store | robbery. Making his investigations with the mystery air of a Sherlock Holmes, he found a wad of gum on the counter. "Aha!” he exclaimed. "I deduct — 1, ....... n ..Ull.l • •

It was a child. Examining the gnm under a glass in the approved Hawkshaw manner, he settled upon the sex. “ 'Tls a boy!” he said, conclusively. He suspicioned a gum-chewing boy, caught him and without forceps fitted the tell-tale quid of gum in Ills mouth, and the baffling mystery was solved. ‘"Bill” Wrigley has not lived in vain—for 'twas he who snuggled up on the world and made an old habit a new habit universal. When a lad christened "Willian* Wrigley, Jr.,” the hopeful of the family, visited his aunt, he balanced himself on the pump, climbed the trees, and surveyed the premises to play. “Indian.” Near the back fence he discovered a mint bed. clothed in

He did not take io scholastic training and his fath-r took him into business with him. Then William Wrigley. Junior, followed a vision included in the advice of Horace Greeley to "Go West!" Motion pictures evidence the increased consumption of gum—so the janitors declare. Fifteen billion bits of Wrigley gum are wrapped every year—and these paraffin slips placed end to end would span the ten times every year. The total production of Wrigley gum would provide fifteen sticks for every one of the 1.720.520.366 human beings now living on the earth, or three complete packages for every individual pair of jaw*, on.e a year. In launching his business. Mr. Wrigley -gave away a mtlfon packages of gum to “prime” the pump and
