What a terrible name for a chewing gum company. "I thought Beech-nut was the flavor of the gum.

I absolutely adore how many chewing gum companies existed back. Old chewing gum trading cards arr also such a joy to comb through

What a fucking weird marketing ploy...

At least some Marines got $0.05 of gum on the Beech-Nut Company. That's the take away. It was 1941, take what you can get and live it up.
