steady at all times"
Where is the best market for chewing
gum in the United States?"
"All west and north of St. Louis. Lots
OF gum is sold throughout Kansas, Ne
braska. the Dakotas and Minnesota Kan
sas City is a great town for It."
How about Chicago?"
"Oh, Chicago Is one OF the greatest
chewing gum cities in the country. Chi
cago has gone ahead Of New York in this
respect. New York used to be great
town for 1t and one couldn't go anywhere
in the city without seeing girls working
their jaws as II their lives depended on It..
But the caricatursts and the paragrap phi
lists made such fun of the habit that a
good many OF the girls stopped chewing
and the sales fell off very heavily. Boston
was a pretty good gum town at one time,
but never so good as our western cities
"As a rule the newer the city the better
the chewing gum trade in 1t. In an old
city, like New Orleans, the people don't
seem to take to the habit at all. The
French are no. gum chewers. The Ger
mans don't chew gum either. In some of
the places where there are many Germans
as In some of the cities of the northwest
we sell but little chewing gum. The young
people like It. but the old people won't
let them use It. ! have seen many boy
spanked by his German mother for using
chewing gum"

FRANK G. CARPENTER,
CheWing-Gum Towns

]. j. Amend. travelling representative OF
one OF the largest chewing gum manufac-
turing companies in the United States, ex-
pressed surprise, in speaking to a reporter
OF the New Orleans Times, that the estab-
lshment OF chewing gum factory at New
Orleans Is talked of.
1T is true that much OF the gum we use
comes by way of New Orleans in it's raw
state from the tropics" he said "but I
can see no other reason for putting up n
factory here. don't believe sugar is any
cheaper here than 1t is In the north and
glucose is no cheaper II as cheap. Then
this is a very poor market locally for
chewing gum
"It is?"
"The worst place in the United States -
why Is that?"
81 don't know the reason. but II is a
fact nevertheless. Why I know lots OF
towns In other parts of the country that
use ten times as much chewing gum--yes
fifty times as much-as New Orleans and
they are not nearly as big as this city
either I've been around to the drue
stores since have been In the city and
find that their sales are very light The
first-class stores tell me that sometimes
they don't have call for chewing gun
