This Amendment No. 20 relates to the joint statement on Schedule 13D, dated
October 18, 1991, as previously amended and as amended hereby (the "Statement"),
of Edna Jean Offield ("EJO"), James S. Offield and Paxson H. Offield ("PHO")
relating to the Common Stock, no par value (the "Common Stock"), of the Wm.
Wrigley Jr. Company (the "Company"). Pursuant to transactions described in prior
amendments to this Statement, each of JSO and PHO ceased to be a beneficial
owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company.
Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used but not defined
herein shall have the meanings given them in the joint statement filed October
18, 1991 or any previous amendment. Except as amended hereby, the information
set forth in the Statement remains true, complete and correct.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Not Applicable
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
The reporting person effected the transfer of shares of Common Stock
specified in Item 5(c) for tax planning purposes and to decrease her equity
position in the Company. As previously reported under Item 5(b) of the Original
Statement, the nature of the reporting person's respective beneficial ownership
of shares of Common Stock varies. However, regardless of the nature of the
reporting person's beneficial ownership of shares, all shares of Common Stock
reported by this Statement as being beneficially owned by her are held for
investment purposes. In the normal course of managing her investment in the
Company's Common Stock (whether the Common Stock is owned directly or indirectly
as a result of any of the facts described under Item 5(b) of this Statement),
the reporting person may acquire or dispose of shares of Common Stock. Except as
described in the preceding sentence, the reporting person has no plans or
proposals which relate to or would result in any of the events described in
paragraphs (a) through (j) set forth under Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) Shares of Class B Common Stock, no par value ("Class B Stock"), of the
Company are convertible at any time into shares of Common Stock on a share for
share basis, are entitled to ten votes per share and are subject to restrictions
on transfer. Because of the conversion feature of the Class B Stock, rule 13d-
3(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires that the
shares of Class B Stock beneficially owned by the reporting person be treated as
shares of Common Stock for purposes of this Statement. The following table sets
forth, with respect to the reporting person (i) the aggregate number of shares
of Common Stock beneficially owned, and (ii) the approximate percentage of
outstanding shares of Common Stock beneficially owned. Of the shares set forth
under the middle column below, 2,588,168 are shares of Class B Stock
beneficially owned by EJO. The percentage calculations set forth below are based
on 90,737,802 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 31, 2000, plus
the respective number of shares of Class B Stock that are beneficially owned by
the reporting person.
