• As one of the main topics, I think it's allowable here to link chewing gum.
•  Done

• "spruce resin. He started with a spruce resin" repetitive.
•  Done

• "he made from his chewing gum business" no need to repeat chewing gum.
•  Done

• "salary of $5 a month" etc, inflate. But also I'd say what he did before how much he earned doing it.
•  Done

• salable is a typo.
•  Done

• "quantity that had produced" been
•  Done

• "in 1848 and 1849.[2] In 1850," repetitive.
•  Done

• "before his competition" first mention of competition...
•  Done

• "Packing gum" fragment, no period, and why is the other image caption centrally aligned?
•  Done

• "week or two" not encyclopedic tone.
•  Done

• Did you mention what the "flavored" gum was flavoured as?
•  Done - researched extensively for the "flavor" and nothing shows in any books, google books, websites, or historical Newspapers.

• "1,080,139 " too precise by far, nearest $1000 would suffice. Check all other conversions.
•  Done = this is done with the "-4" parameter in inflation template. The "-5" parameter would give to the nearest $10,000; etc

• "most expensively built house" is that the same as "expensive house"
•  Done

• Consider adding {{clear}} at the end of the Personal section to stop the image on the right crushing the refs.
•  Done
