Synopsis
In 1903, successful candy maker Milton Hershey began a new enterprise that many people thought was doomed. He planned to build the biggest chocolate factory in the world, and a town to house its employees. The location he chose, near his birthplace in rural Derry Township, Pennsylvania, was most unlike the traditional urban factory settings of the era. Hershey is the pictorial history of what happened next. Through period photographs, many of them in print for the first time, and engaging narrative, Hershey reveals how the place, the people, the industrial age, and Milton Hershey himself contributed to the success of his scheme. Hershey includes an introduction to the history of Derry Township, tracing it from Milton Hershey s birth in 1857 to his return in the early 1900s. The book follows the intertwining stories of Milton Hershey s life, the growth of his chocolate company, the development of the school for needy boys that he endowed with his entire fortune, and the evolution of his model company town. The transformation of Hershey into a tourist destination and its survival after the death of its founder in 1945 conclude this chronicle of an American dream come true.", Hershey, Pennsylvania, went from relative unknown to an American dream come true thanks in large part to the risk taken by its founder, Milton Hershey.

Item description from the seller
Seller feedback (462)
- a***_ (17)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI am so impressed by this buyer. Thanks, Jim, for somehow getting this order to me. About two weeks ago, it was marked as delivered, (but really was not...) I contacted Jim, and somehow, the delivery arrived yesterday with a handwritten note!! I would like to know how to pay the seller again, as the order was cancelled after several days and my payment was refunded. Many thanks to both Jim and E-bay for your excellent service. And the Sand Sharks are fabulous and match the originals I had!
