WRIGLEY WILL APPEAL
CHEWING GUM DECISION
CHICAGO, 111., Dec. 23.—A 13 year
controversy over the color scheme
once used by the William Wrigley,
jr. company on one kind of its
chewing gum, in which Federal
Judge Wilkerson today gave an
award of $1,471,000 to the L. T. Lar
son, jr., company, is not ended yet.
The Wrigley company will appeal.
William Wrigley, jr., president of
the Wrigley company, explained that
the award gives him no concern, as
the sum is less than ten per cent
of the company’s surplus. He added
that the color scheme in controversy
was abandoned by his company in
191S but that Federal Judge Ander
son had decided that the company
had a perfect right to use it and
that therefore the company will ap
peal rather than pay the accounting
order by Judge Wilkerson.
