TODAY'S MYSTERY QUOTE
QUOTE: "The best things in life are nearest: Breath in
your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet,
duties at your hand, the path of right just before you.
Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain, common
work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread
are the sweetest things in life."
HINT: (1850-1894), Scottish novelist, poet, essayist and
travel writer.

RANDOM TIDBITS
American Indians used to quench their thirsts by chewing
the gum-like resin that forms on spruce trees when the bark
is cut. Spruce became the first commercial chewing gum. The
use of spruce continued until the 1850s when paraffin wax
became the new popular base for chewing gum.
***
During WW2, US military personnel spread the popularity of
chewing gum by trading it and giving it as gifts to people
from Europe, Africa, Asia and around the world.
***
ORBIT was invented as a special wartime brand and was
supplied to the Armed Forces, since it was recognized that
gum eases tension, promotes alertness and improves morale.

The first commercial chewing gum, State of Maine Spruce Gum
was introduced in 1850. In 1893, Wrigley's Spearmint and
Juicy Fruit hit the market. William Wrigley Jr. was one of
the first to promote the sale of branded goods through
advertising. Spearmint quickly became a best seller.

To grow all the mint Wrigley needs for its mint flavored
gums would take 53 square miles of farmland ? about 30,550
football fields!

10,000 pieces of gum, it was presented to baseball great
Willie Mays in 1974.
