Description: VERY RARE! ORIGINAL Antique Magazine Print Ad from 1905 Coca~Cola PEPSIN GUMA HUGE shout out to JB BEANS & CO for the insight and research on the history of this interesting little piece of collectible ephemera: "Coca-Cola gum was made from 1903 to 1920. The gum was not made by the Coca-Cola beverage company but by another Atlanta company, the Coca-Cola Gum Company, which used both the Coca-Cola name and the logo. The Coca-Cola Gum Company was bought by Franklin Manufacturing (later called Franklin-Caro Co.) and moved to Richmond, Virginia, in the early 1900s. The beverage company did not like this use of their trademark and bought out the gum company by 1924. Coca-Cola Gum items are rare and usually bring high prices.Coca-Cola allowed the use of its name and logo with a variety of non-soda items produced by outside manufacturers, such as candy and cigars. One such product was Coca-Cola chewing gum, a product that enjoyed some success in the early part of the 20th century. Eventually, though, Coca-Cola became more reticent about allowing the use of its trademarks with anything other than official company-sponsored products, especially when those products were of such low quality that they might reflect badly on Coca-Cola itself. Such was the case with Coca-Cola chewing gum, which by 1924 had so deteriorated in quality as to be an embarrassment to the company. Coca-Cola sought to remedy the situation by purchasing the nearly bankrupt chewing gum maker through an intermediary and quietly retiring the product."ad is in EXCELLENT condition for age!smaller classified ad size approx. 1" x 2 3/4"from smoke-free homeENJOY! & Thanks for stoppin' and shoppin'! - Kari :o)SHIPPING NOTES: FAST shipping is always a TOP PRIORITY!
