P.K. WRIGLEY CHEWS IT OVER

-

Under his dad, he had a long and wonderful training. He was thirteen years old when

[his father] came home one night and told of an opportunit­y to sell out to a chewinggum trust at a figure that would make them both rich for life.

“Do you think you’ll ever want to go into the

business, Phil?” his dad asked. “I’ll sell.”

“This was one critical time when Phil said, “No!” But he meant “Yes!”

He said, “Don’t sell.” —“Young Wrigley Spends Money to Make It” (November 1, 1934)
