Have gum, will travel

[alt text] Vintage print advertisement for TIC Gums featuring a large black-and-white photograph of a bearded traveler wearing a safari-style jacket and hat, holding binoculars. Behind him, a caravan of riders on camels crosses a desert landscape.

[ transcription] To deliver the gums you need, Ash and Anton and TIC travel the world. Farther than any other gum supplier. More often. There are easier ways to do it. But to find the highest quality gums, and the most reliable sources, TIC must, and will, travel.

At home, TIC works just as hard. To keep your gum supply pure, we have the industry's best quality control staff. To perfect the gum system you need, our technicians man the industry's most sophisticated laboratory and work with you until you're satisfied.

And, of course, to keep it all going, we send our people to the heart of the gum countries to bring back the best. Stick with TIC. America's leading supplier of natural gums and gum systems since 1909. Get in touch with us for more information. Or just send a sample of your product for us to work with.

[additional notes] The advertisement presents TIC Gums as a global sourcing expert, emphasizing its willingness to travel extensively to obtain the highest-quality natural gums. The explorer figure and camel caravan evoke adventure, discovery, and access to remote regions where gum-producing plants are found. Georgia Salcau
