Elliot: World Wide Gum was formed by Goudey and the stock was owned by the principals of Goudey (source: George C. Thompson, who worked at Goudey from 1931-1962 and was president of Goudey from 2/4/56 until the company was dissolved on 12/26/63). World Wide was incorporated in Massacusetts in May 1933 with Laurence Lombard as president. He resigned in June 1933 and was replaced as president and director by Robert G. Derlin, who concurrently held the position of president of Goudey (until October 1935). So from mid-33 until near the end of 35, World Wide was run by and owned by the same people who owned and ran Goudey.
