Laura Keyes takes us through an illustrated lecture of the story of this beloved American company, from the early failures, major successes, and Milton Hershey's decision to give his fortune away. 

Today the name Hershey is synonymous with quality milk chocolate, but that wasn't always the case.

Milton S. Hershey worked hard and failed often before his chocolate company was finally successful. And when he did become a household name and had earned a vast fortune, Milton and his wife Catherine decided to give it all away. Because of their generosity, tens of thousands of orphans have been saved, protected, and educated.

Laura Keyes takes us through an illustrated lecture of the "behind the scenes" story of this beloved American company.
