Be Observed
Milton Snavely Hershey
1857- 1945
"His deeds are his monument; his
our inspiration."
Challenging Example
One hundred years ago tomorrow—September 13
—Milton Snavely Hershey was born in a rural area of
Lower Dauphin County near the site where thriving
modern industry and a lovely community of homes would
eventually perpetuate his name.
On Sunday—September 15—the people of the com-munity
will render homage to his memory, in just tribute
to his greatness as a man of vision and vital responsi-bility
to his fellow man.
The 1957 M. S. Hershey Day program will honor
a man who, born in modest circumstances, had the
energy, innate ability and foresight to build lasting and
living monuments to his name.
His .was one of those inspiring American success
stories that have enriched this nation with great tradi-tion.
The M. S. Hershey philosophy of wise use of nat-ural
resources (the extensive development of agricul-ture)
and human resources (the Milton Hershey School,
plus the recreational, cultural and educational facilities
of the community) is an outstanding facet of his life,
matched only by his genius in the industrial-business
field.
His achievements make his example challenging to
follow, but nevertheless provide all of us with a set
of standards worthwhile to live by.
The M. S. Hershey tradition is an inspiring one.
