HERSHEY NEWS Vol. 4 -07.SIE&-0 HERSHEY, PENNSYLVANIA, JUNE 7, 1956 No. 23 Subscribers Enthusiastic About New Telephone Book Compliments are being re-ceived by the Hershey Tele-phone Company on the at-tractive directory — the first ever to be published by the local firm — which has been distributed to some 3,000 sub-scribers. The new listings replace t h e Harrisburg directory, which was here-to-fore sup-plied local subscribers. How-ever, Harrisburg and nearby listings are also included in the new book. From the cover, which has been printed in a brown ink to simulate the "Chocolate Town" description, through the historical data and handy reference pages listing the various units making up the Hershey companies, it more than lives up to advance pre-dictions that it would be one of the most unique directories in the United States. The first three pages are devoted to a series of pictures and sketches of interesting places to visit in the commu-nity. Then follow four pages of handy tabulations of the various Hershey enterprises, listing locations and telephone numbers. A map showing the town and its many highlights oc-cupies two pages and a single page is used to list postal in-formation. The Hershey phone listings are placed three columns to the page, as compared with four columns in most other directories. The handy "Yellow" sec-tion includes 34 pages of easy to read "Where to Buy" in-formation, including not only Hershey stores and services, but many others in the cen-tral Pennsylvania area. The Harrisburg section in-cludes listings for Carlisle, Dauphin, Dillsburg, Duncan-non, Elizabethville, Halifax, Hummelstown, Lewisberry, Marysville, Mechanicsburg, Millersburg, Palmyra, Shells-ville and Steelton. • ADMIRING NEW TELEPHONE DIRECTORY — The Hershey Telephone Company's new telephone directory gets the attention of Hershey officials prior to distri-bution to local homes and business houses.
