THE JITNEY STILL JITS

Recent articles on the war tax just levied on soft drinks, confections, etc., have given rise to some misunderstanding, and the Wm. Wrigley, Jr., company issues a statement that the 3% tax on chewing gum does NOT affect the retail dealer or the consumer. Mr. Wrigley explains that the manufacturers stand this tax, and there should be NQ CHANGE In the price charged you for your package of Wrigley’s Spearmint, Doublemint or Juicy Fruit. In other words, the Jitney still Jits. Thanks, Mr. Wrigley.
