The Chocolate Corporation
Sells Lebanon Creamery
To Lebanon Valley Dairies
Hershey Chocolate Corporation
has sold its Lebanon • Creamery
Division to Lebanon Valley Dairies,
a division of Harrisburg Dairies, it
was announced last week.
In the announcement of the sale,
which was effective last Monday,
it was emphasized that Lebanon
Valley Dairies will continue to use
the local, farm-fresh milk produced
in Lebanon Valley. The same milk-men
which formerly delivered Her-shey's
milk will continue to serve
their customers with high-quality
milk products.
The new owners of the Lebanon
operation are well known in the
Central Pennsylvania area for their
courteous, efficient service and
their modern, sanitary processing
of milk.
Hershey has served the people
in the Lebanon area with milk pro-ducts
for almost a half century. Al-though
bottling operations at the
Lebanon plant have been suspend-ed,
all affected employes will be
offered the opportunity of trans-ferring
to the chocolate plant in
Hershey without loss of seniority.
It was pointed out that this
change in ownership in no way af-fects
the Hershey Estates Dairy,
located in the Park at Hershey,
Pa,
mg lawns and shrubbery, annoying
pedestrians, and chasing game.
Under the dog law, any police
officer may seize dogs running at
large.
