Blog Assignment # 16:   Milton Hershey was born on September 13, 1857 where he was raised in Central, Pennsylvania. Before he became interested in making chocolate, he trained to be a printer. He worked for a news paper then decided that news paper was not the job for him. The next job he got was at a candy factory in Landcaster, Pennsylvania, after working at the candy factory for a few years he decided to open his own candy business near Philadelphia. His first business had to shit down because he was not making enough money, after closing his business down he moved to Denver, Colorado to learn how to make caramels.

              He took his new caramel making skills to New York and worked selling candy on the streets, where his candy business also failed. He moved back to Pennsylvania where he started to experiment with all sorts of different candies and chocolates. By experimenting Milton Hershey learned how to make fresh chocolate by using, sweet condensed milk. His milk chocolate became so famous that he decided to sell his caramel business and focus on chocolate only. In 1903 Milton Hershey built a huge chocolate factory and an entire town to go with it.

                  The name of the town is Hershey, Pennsylvania, in Hershey Pennsylvania they have everything a child needs such as sports, schools, and many more. To this day Hershey Factory is still up and running, and if you ever visit there you can smell delicious chocolate just driving by. Milton Hershey has traveled to many places doing what he really likes doing. Milton Hershey never gave up on his dream and that is why I respect hin.  He died at the age of eighty-eight on October 13,1945 in his own town. Hershey, Pennsylvania.
