Series 1: About the Philanthropist: #1 His Early Days.

Milton S. Hershey was an American manufacturer born in Derry Township, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania on September 13,1857. After his education in local schools he became an assistant printer for the Lancaster Farmer. by 1878 he was the owner of a candy store in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. At the young age of 21 he made his own candies and later opened other stores in New York and Chicago. Later he sold these businesses for one million dollars and returned to Lancaster where he started making chocolate bars. Forming his procedure on the English Cad bury, he founded the model town of Hershey, Pennsylvania. His employees of the firm were compelled to live locally in the town. In 1910, with his wife, he founded the orphanage known as the Hershey Industrial School. In 1918 he formed the Hershey trust of approximately sixty million dollars to pay for the maintenance of the schools. (unquote Collier’s encyclopedia of 1950.) P.L. Sturgis: Several seeds sparked an interest in writing about this man and this town throughout frequent periods of my life. The first memory was when I was teaching a Sunday School Class in 1990’s, and a visitor dropped in with a paper back book about Milton Hershey. I took it home but never read it. Later I heard about Hershey town, the candy kisses and hugs, the many things the town held that appealed to me. I started thinking maybe that was Milton Hershey but I know it could not have been since I was only 5 when he died.
