manufacturing facility has been approved by its Board of Directors. The plant will be located at
Oakdale, California, in the San Joaquin Valley. Construction on the 400,000 square foot plant will
begin in the near future, with production being p lanned for Spring of 1965. The plant will be de-signed
to serve the eleven far-western states, plus Hawaii and Alaska, with a complete line of choc-olate
and cocoa products. Engineering and architectural services will be provided by Day and Zim-merman,

Payroll Savings Plan Offered To Hershey Employees
Hershey Chocolate Corporation,
Hershey Estates, and Milton Her-shey
School employees will be af-forded
an opportunity to further
participate in the -Payroll Savings
Plan for U. S. Savings Bonds dur-ing
the current campaign which is
scheduled to begin on May 20.
On the theme, "Keep Freedom
In Your Future . . . With U. S. Sav-ings
Bonds," bond drive canvassers
will be stressing the importance of
investing in the nation's strength
and peace power.
Buying a bond for the Freedom
Bond Drive may seem to some as a
minor contribution to these vital is-sues.
Collectively it is far from mi-nor:
the widespread sale of Savings
Bonds plays a key part in the
strength of our economy, which in
turn supports our defense efforts.
For those who wish to do more for
their country, there is ample room
for action; buying bonds is only the
easy beginning step.
Regular bond - buying by numer-ous
Hershey employees demon-strates
recognition of this sound
and easy to do system of saving:
