Connection between Autosale Gum and Sterling Gum
Incorporated in 1914, Sterling Gum Co. was organized by interests connected with the American Tobacco Company to manufacture and sell chewing gum and other confections. The company took over the plants of the Autosales Gum & Chocolate Co. at Long Island NY, Louisville KY, and Toronto Canada. Products included Sterling gum in two flavors, Dentyne, Bloodberry, Frozen Mints, Bradshaws, Red Heather, Sweet Pea and Colgans Taffy Tolu brands. They even had early inserts to mimic the success that tobacco companies had in the era.
As Tom's example illustrates, the Colgan's Chip tins were still being marketed in 1914 with the Sterling Gum designation. Were any round baseball images still being inserted into to the tins is the question? Patrick Last edited by Vintagecatcher; 02-23-2021 at 09:27 PM.
