Chewing Gum in America, 1850-1920: The Rise of an Industry
Kerry Segrave
Examines the chewing gum industry in America from 1850 to 1920, the rise and spread of gum chewing and the reactions - almost uniformly negative - to the habit from editorial writers, reformers, religious figures, employers and the courts. The age-old problem of what to do with chewed gum is also covered.
Marc Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.; Americans began chewing gum long before 1850, scraping resin from spruce trees, removing any bits of bark or insects and chewing the finished product. Commercially-made gum was of limited availability and came in three types--tree resin, pretroleum-based paraffin and chicle-based.
