Steep Mexican ChicIe Prices
Discourage U. S. Gum Makers

MEXICO CITY-High prices have
driven leading United States chew
ing-gum manufacturers from the
Mexican chicle market.
AS a result, the industry is prac-
tically paralyzed. Exports are down
approximately Sc per cent, COM
pared with a year ago.
For years American companies
had absorbed more than 80 per cent
of the Mexican chicle production.
In the 1946-'47 season, these buy
ers obtained 1880, 800 pounds of
Mexican chicle. For the 1947-'48 sea-
son, the contracts are reported TO
be only for 100000 pounds.
Civilians in the United States are
said to chew annually an average of
107 sticks of gum each.
But World War II saw gum made
an important item in the food kits
of soldiers. This caused business to
boom, and American companies
were said to have built big stock
piles to supply the demand.

A Rabbit Ears Pass snowstorm is

temperature often drops to 35 below.
