I will try Griffith and Co changed to National Chicle in 1909? August 8th if I remember correctly.

I will give the answer later this evening. You guys are really, really close. But from what I will show I think we will have an almost definitive agreement. And then, if no one is exactly correct, I will decide (as fair as possible) who is closest. Good luck and thanks for playing so far!!

Not quite, and remember, to win both answers have to be given and acknowledged.

To clarify a bit, as to when National Chicle was formed, what I am looking for specifically is when it started being called National Chicle Co. The more specific the better.

sorry for any confusion I caused.

thanks again to all who have guessed so far!!

This could be the answer. The question though, is when did they start being called National Chicle Co.? If you can verify your information you should probably be the winner, Ben. I am leaving a tiny bit of wiggle room on purpose.
