media type="custom" key="9135204" In 1876 Milton Hershey decided to start a candy business in Philadelphia. His mom asked her brother to help him and send some money, but after they sent some money to Milton they couldn't send any more so Milton Hershey moved to where his dad lived in Colorado. He found a job and he worked for a candy maker. The candy maker made caramels with milk to make it sweeter. When he left he stopped in Chicago to sell some of his candy there. Then he got tired of the city and went back to Lancaster, but he didn't stay long. After that he went to New York. Milton Hershey went back again to Lancaster in 1886. He created the Lancaster Caramel Factory which was a big success.Milton Hershey came up with a lot of wierd names for his caramels like McGinties, Jim Cracks, and Lotuses which is fancier. He saw some machines to make German chocolate at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition and so he bought some of them for his company. media type="custom" key="9146766" Milton Hershey created chocolate in 114 different shapes. He made chocolate fans, bikes, and lobsters. When he visited a store that sold his chocolate he met a girl named Catherine Sweeney. In 1898 on May 25 they got married. When Milton Hershey built his factory he built it where he was born. Some people thought he was crazy, but he thought it was a good idea because there were a lot of cows and land. There was also a railroad there so he could ship some of his candy to the customers. Around the factory would be a town. After the whole factory and town was finished building, in 1906 the people renamed the town Derry Church to Hershey. In the town was an amusement park, post office, fire department, hotels, golf courses, and more. He was making thousands of chocolates per day. In 1909 Milton built a school for orphans and called it the Hershey Industrial School. The students lived at Hershey Homestead which is where Milton was born. They did chores, but they also had fun too.Soon Kitty was sick and soon she died in 1915.When the Great Depression happened, Milton wanted to make building projects so his workers won't lose their jobs. After the Depression no one lost their jobs. Soon in 1938 people from the military came to Milton to ask him to make a chocolate bar for a war coming. The chocolate bars were called Ration D Bars. The chocolate wouldn't melt and it tasted bad so the soldiers won't be addicted to it. They had to eat them for every meal. The army thanked Milton's factory by giving him the Army "E" which means excellence. Milton soon died at 88 after World War II in 1945. media type="custom" key="9668586" =__Facts:__= was sick he had to go on a different ship.
