Cadbury Adams USA has it all wrapped up -- in thin little rectangles wrapped in foil. The US division of UK candy giant Cadbury makes candy, chewing gum, and mints. Its brands include Bubblicious, Certs, Chiclets, Dentyne, HALLS, Sour Patch, Swedish Fish, and Trident. The company also makes the retro gum brands Beeman's, Blackjack, and Clove, which it reintroduces every few years in order to cash in on nostalgia buffs and baby boomers. Cadbury Adams USA was formed after then Cadbury Schweppes bought the Adams chewing gum brands from Pfizer for $4.2 billion in 2003 and integrated it into its already existing US operations. (Cadbury Schweppes spun off its beverage operations to focus solely on candy in 2008.)

General Custer ran into trouble at the Little Big Horn and Alexander Graham Bell made his famous telephone call to Mr. Watson. In St. Louis, Missouri, Mr. Busch was brewing his first batch of beer. Meanwhile, across the state in the busy river town of St. Joseph, Dr. George Washington Chase faced a dilemma. In those days it was difficult raising a family on a doctor’s meager wages. Drawing upon his previous experiences while growing up back East, Chase decided to open a fruit and produce business. The business prospered and in the early 1920’s Chase built a modern four story factory in downtown St. Joseph. About this time the third generation of the Chase family, Charles, joined the Company.
