Book excerpt: From a Pulitzer Prize winner, “a charming and absorbing account of one of American capitalism’s eccentric visionaries” (Los Angeles Times). The name Hershey evokes many things: chocolate bars, the company town in Pennsylvania, one of America’s most recognizable brands. But who was the man behind the name? In this compelling biography, journalist Michael D’Antonio gives us the real-life rags-to-riches story of Milton S. Hershey, a largely uneducated businessman whose idealistic sense of purpose created an immense financial empire, a town, and a legacy that lasts to this day. Hershey, the son of a minister’s daughter and an irresponsible father who deserted the family, began his career inauspiciously when the two candy shops he opened both went bankrupt. Undeterred, he started the Lancaster Caramel Company, which brought him success at last. Eventually he sold his caramel operation and went on to perfect the production process of chocolate to create a stable, consistent bar with a long shelf life . . . and an American icon was born. Hershey was more than a successful businessman—he was a progressive thinker who believed in capitalism as a means to higher goals. He built the world’s largest chocolate factory and a utopian village for his workers in rural Pennsylvania, and used his own fortune to keep his workers employed during the Great Depression. In addition, he secretly willed his fortune to a boys’ school and orphanage, both of which now control a vast endowment. “Captivating . . . unfolds much like a good novel.” —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette “A valuable addition to the literature of American business and philanthropy.” —The Washington Post Book World

Download or read book Built on Chocolate written by James D. McMahon (Jr.) and published by Stoddart. This book was released on 1998 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone's first kiss was a Hershey's Kiss. This fascinating photographic history is lovingly written by the man who has been the curator of the Hershey Museum in Pennsylvania since 1988. The delicious array of images from the last 200 years is taken from the comprehensive memorabilia collection of the museum, which is the sixth most-popular tourist destination in the United States. While world-famous for its confections (galaxy-famous, if you count E.T., who loved Reese's Pieces), Hershey's is also a phenomenally philanthropic company. It tends its name to a teaching hospital and medical center, a school for disadvantaged youth, several hotels and entertainment attractions, and more. However, the 20th century would not have been as sweet if it weren't for the man named Milton and the quality chocolate candy bars he created. Features an at-a-glance chronology and product timeline.
Download or read book In Chocolate We Trust written by Peter Kurie and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2018-02-21 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Chocolate We Trust takes readers inside modern-day Hershey, Pennsylvania, headquarters of the iconic Hershey brand. A destination for chocolate enthusiasts since the early 1900s, Hershey has transformed from a model industrial town into a multifaceted suburbia powered by philanthropy. At its heart lies the Milton Hershey School Trust, a charitable trust with a mandate to serve "social orphans" and a $12 billion endowment amassed from Hershey Company profits. The trust is a longstanding source of pride for people who call Hershey home and revere its benevolent capitalist founder—but in recent years it has become a subject of controversy and intrigue. Using interviews, participant observation, and archival research, anthropologist Peter Kurie returns to his hometown to examine the legacy of the Hershey Trust among local residents, company employees, and alumni of the K-12 Milton Hershey School. He arrives just as a scandal erupts that raises questions about the outsized power of the private trust over public life. Kurie draws on diverse voices across the community to show how philanthropy stirs passions and interests well beyond intended beneficiaries. In Chocolate We Trust reveals the cultural significance of Hershey as a forerunner to socially conscious corporations and the cult of the entrepreneur-philanthropist. The Hershey story encapsulates the dreams and wishes of today's consumer-citizens: the dream of becoming personally successful, and the wish that the most affluent among us will serve the common good.

Book excerpt: What if the world had never heard of Steve Bartman? What if Alex Gonzalez had fielded that ground ball cleanly, and turned the pair? What if Grady Little had listened when Pedro told him he was tired, and gone to the bullpen, which had, after all, been extremely effective throughout the post-season. This story is about how the world and the 2003 World Series would have been had those things happened. The stories in this book are a mixture of fact, fiction, fantasy, and fanaticism.
