About William M Wrigley

Owner of the Wrigley Manufacturing Company, a soap making business in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His son, William Wrigley Jr., was allowed to have a hand in the business and initiated a promotion wherein baking soda was offered as a premium to boost soap sales. This promotion resulted in such a clamor for baking soda that young William left the family business in 1891, moved to Chicago, Illinois and started a baking soda company, the William Wrigley, Jr. Company.
