An American chocolate manufacturer and philanthropist who built the world's largest chocolate factory to make his Hershey Bars and founded The Hershey foundation in which his wealth was used for educational purposes, was born on 13th September1857, in Derry Township, Pennsylvania. At the age of 13, he left his school. He showed his interest in candy making.
He borrowed some money from his aunt and set up his own candy shop in the heart of Philadelphia. He worked very hard to keep his business alive. Finally, after six years he closed his shop and found a job with a confectioner. Here, Hershey got an up-close look at the art of chocolate making and discovered that how caramel and fresh milk could be used to make it. He focused on perfecting the formula for chocolate bars, and began building at the site that became the world's largest chocolate manufacturing plant. Success soon followed him and he became the mass-distributer of milk chocolate candy within a few short years all over the country. His generosity won the hearts of many and soon he becomes the Man of the People. He built churches, schools, recreational facilities, parks and housing for his employees. He died in Hershey, Pennsylvania, on 13th October 1945.
