Item Description
8.5x11" two-sided glossy paper flyer issued by this Cleveland, OH company. Promotes their root beer flavored gum and corresponding incentive promotion. Text on back starts off with "1929 Brings The Best Penny Gum Draw Ever Offered." This is followed by sales/pricing information for their product and mentions the "Fascinating Game That Will Appeal To Old And Young Alike." The concept as further explained on the front was to save wrappers which could be assembled to form images of aircraft and then sent in to get premiums. The images, as reflected by the center art on the flyer, included a Monoplane, Eagle, Graf Zeppelin, Kite-Balloon, Parachute, Airport and Beacon Light. Premiums pictured and/or listed include roller skates, police set, model plane, pop gun, parachute shooter, etc. Text includes "Save All Wrappers/Gifts And Fun." Pair of fold lines as issued. Moderate aging and handling wear. VG. Rare, first we've seen in our 47 years. Very interesting gum piece w/concept along the lines of Fleer's Treasure Hunt Gum issue.
