| A series of 50 issued in Canada by the CANADIAN CHEWING GUM CO. LIMITED Of Toronto Canada on the back side of their Red Jacket and Green Jacket Brands of Chewing gum. They are listed as V253 in Burdick's American Card Catalogue. It should be mentioned that he only lists the Green Jacket brand so technically the Red Jacket wrappers are un-recorded. Although no guide that I know of provides an actual date of issue, I have assumed them to have been issue in the 1920's or 30's era as I have seen early correspondence from this company listing this brand name dated from that time period. Each wrapper features a portrait of a Native American Indian Chief, as well as a premium offer of a complete set of these Indian Chiefs on Cards for exchange of 15 of these wrappers (written in both French and English). The images used are the same as the ones used by the Allen & Ginter Company in their 1888 N2 Indian Chiefs Series, (Apparently they were based on paintings housed in the Library of Congress in the U.S.), Weber Bread, American Caramel Co and Ganong Chocolates also used the same images on cards they issued as well. The wrapper measures 4 1/2 inches by 2 1/4 inches approximately. | ||
