This original newspaper contains a prominent inside page heading, photo, and long detailed coverage of the DEATH of WILLIAM WRIGLEY, the chewing gum magnate and owner of the CHICAGO CUBS baseball team. This also contains a front page heading and long report of the LANDMARK first photograph taken of an atomic particle. William Mills Wrigley Jr. (September 30, 1861 – January 26, 1932) was an American chewing gum industrialist. He was founder of the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company in 1891. In 1916, Wrigley bought a minority stake in the Chicago Cubs baseball team as part of a group headed by Charles Weeghman, former owner of the Federal League's Chicago Whales. Over the next four years, as Weeghman's lunch-counter business declined, he was forced to sell much of his stock in the ball club to Wrigley. By 1918, Weeghman had sold all of his stock to Wrigley, making Wrigley the largest shareholder and principal owner, and by 1921, Wrigley was majority owner. Wrigley Field, the Cubs' ballpark in Chicago, is named for him. William Wrigley Jr. died on January 26, 1932, at his Phoenix, Arizona, mansion, at age 70. Very good condition.
