From Sugar Cane to Hershey Bars


            Raised in rural Pennsylvania, Milton S. Hershey became one of America's wealthiest individuals and a successful entrepreneur. He started his journey on a four-year apprenticeship to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, discovering the art of making chocolate. In 1876 Hershey attempted to start his own candy business in Philadelphia. After six years of diligent labor, his business failed. After failing he moved to Denver, "finding work with a confectioner who taught him how to make caramels from real milk".[Hershey] With his newly learned skills he began another business in New York City. This second business also failed. Yet he returned to Lancaster and tried again with the caramel business, being successful. Shortly after opening his Lancaster caramel Business he was employing 1,400 people and shipping across the United States and Europe. But the Hershey's chocolate company started coming together in 1893 at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. It was there that Hershey became fascinated with making chocolate. While he was at the Exposition Hershey bought some German machinery and had it shipped back to his current business in Lancaster to begin processing chocolate coatings for his caramels. The demand for his chocolate began to raise and he soon started the Hershey Chocolate Company. .
