About this eBook
Milton S. Hershey, born in 1857 in Derry Township, Pennsylvania, was a chocolatier and philanthropist who founded the Hershey Chocolate Company, creating one of the world's most recognizable brands. This biography traces his early ventures in candy-making, his eventual success with the mass production of milk chocolate, and the establishment of the model town of Hershey, Pennsylvania. Committed to the welfare of his employees and community, Hershey built schools, parks, and a hotel, fostering a supportive environment. During the Great Depression, he continued to invest in construction to provide jobs. Hershey and his wife Catherine also founded the Hershey Industrial School for orphaned boys, now known as the Milton Hershey School. This book celebrates his entrepreneurial vision, generosity, and the enduring legacy of a man whose confections brought joy to millions while exemplifying corporate social responsibility.
