Now this issuer was connected to Anglo-American Chewing Gum, and both were based in Halifax. They were a rival to A. & B.C. [chewing] Gum, and both were inspired by the fact that American troops, stationed in England, had passed us the habit of chewing gum.
A & B.C. Gum first issued cards in 1953, and Anglo`s chewing gum branch followed in 1955. Cards started being issued with Anglo bubble gum in 1966.
Thanks to the alphabetical order, this set is the first Anglo set to be catalogued in our original British Trade Index part II, as :
THE BEATLES` YELLOW SUBMARINE. Lg. 89 x 64. Sectional back. Nd. (66)
It is slightly altered in our updated British Trade Index, to
THE BEATLES` YELLOW SUBMARINE. 1968. 89 x 64. Nd. (66) Sectional back.
It has also lost its position as first, thanks to the wax paper issue called “Animal World”
