Default What were the first baseball cards packaged with chewing gum?

(If the answer to this is known and obvious, I apologize...this is off the top of my head.)

I was thinking about how baseball cards in the 20th century became so strongly linked to chewing gum - moreso than other products.

So what is known/believed to be the first baseball cards packaged with chewing gum (as opposed to candies, caramels, etc.)?

I'm thinking of Dockmans and Colgans, but I might well be overlooking earlier issues.
