Clark's Teaberry Chewing Gum is the particular product here, shown in an advertisement that pairs the gum with a pair of gloves and a bunch of pink flowers, an odd mix that signals the brand was trying to look genteel rather than simply sweet. Teaberry gum, flavored with oil extracted from the wintergreen-like teaberry plant of the Appalachian region, was a regional favorite in the early twentieth century, and advertisements of that era often borrowed the visual language of fashion and refinement to sell cheap confections to a broad public. The picture is worth a closer look for how it tells a small story about marketing: a candy wrapper is made to look like an accessory for a lady of leisure.
