Foreword
I have always loved Hershey Bars. I have always loved Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, which by the way are covered in Hershey's chocolate. So, as I sit in front of my iMac today trying to figure what to write, with a Hershey Bar in hand, it struck me. How about Milton S. Hershey and the Hershey Bar. A few weeks ago I posted a story about C. Emlen Urban, architect extraordinaire, who designed Mr. Hershey's home on South Queen St. in Lancaster, PA. Immense place that took up almost half a city block. Sorry to say it no longer stands on South Queen, having been demolished and replaced by a food store and a few houses. So today it may be time to give you the story of Mr. Hershey and his ties to my hometown of Lancaster. Milton S. Hershey |
