HERSHEY NEWS Vol. 4 co 0 HERSHEY, PENNSYLVANIA, JUNE 28, 1956 No. 26 :4c 0 eK; „ • • • • • • • . • Benjamin L. Flory A fellow worker of Benjamin L. Flory at the Her-shey Lumber Products last week told the Hershey News: "When Ben passes a tree, the tree bows in respect." It is true that for nearly 40 years Flory has trans-lated a lot of lumber into objects of beauty and useful-ness in his work as a carpenter and now a cabinetmaker. His skilled hands have turned out many a fine stairway for homes and public buildings in Hershey and else-where. In fact, one of his achievements is located in the main dormitory at the Pennsylvania State University. A stairway builder since 1924, Flory has also done such work for Hershey Lumber Products in Philadelphia. His employment with Hershey dates back to No-vember 6, 1916. His first job was at the chocolate plant, but in a short time he was transferred to the lumber company. Some of his first carpentering jobs included home-building on Areba Street, and his very first as-signment was on the home of A. B. Snavely on East Caracas Avenue. In addition to stairway work, Flory now uses his talent in building such cabinetwork items as pulpits, lecterns, altars, furniture pieces. He's shown here as he shaped up a drawer. Flory's skill with a piece of lumber is no accident. His father before him—the late John L. Flory—was a builder and contractor and erected many of the homes and barns in the Palmyra area. Ben was born and reared near Colebrook and now resides at 136 West Main Street in Campbelltown where he is an active member of the Evangelical United Brethren Church. His wife is the former Hilda Wanish of Hummelstown and the Florys are the parents of Mrs. Cyrus Stoner and Mrs. Raymond Blantz, both of Her-shey, and John Flory who resides near Campbelltown. There are six grandchildren. • • 'Record Number Of Students Enroll In Summer School GOING UP — Among the summertime construction work in -progress here is this fourteen-room addition to the Milton Hershey Memorial Building, Derry Town-ship's modern elementary school.
