Twin Homecomings
Anniversary
Year Plates
Going Out
Designed as a permanent
keepsake of Hershey's Fif-tieth
Anniversary, more than
7,000 souvenir plates began
going out this to the per-sonnel
of the Hershey Inter-ests,
both active and retired.
The china disks bear a re-production
of a familiar por-trait
of the late Wilton S. Her-shey
and were manufactured
by one of the country's most,
skilled producers of fine china.
Only a limited number
were manufactured and in
time the plates will become
collector's items.
Aside from that, the sou-venirs
of the fiftieth year of
the community of Hershey
. also carry much sentimental
value for the many residents
among the Hershey personnel,
and for all those whose busi-ness
and industrial affiliations
here tie them in closely with
the life of the community.1
Distribution is expected to be
completed early next week.
Accompanying each sou-venir
plate is a card bea.ringi
this message from P. A.
Staples, president of the Her-shey
Chocolate Corporation:
"To all in the Hershey Fam-ily
of Employees:
"Our Fiftieth Anniversary
celebration will soon become a
part of the history of our com-munity.
From its inception, we
have had the desire to place in
the hands of each Hershey em-ployee
an ktppropriate souvenir
to ,keep as a memento of the
occasion.
'This idea has been brought
to reality in the form of a fine
china plate on which is repro-duced
an engraving of M. S.
Hershey as he appeared at. the
time of his eightieth birthday
celebration. Many of you will
remember that he wore for
that picture the ring presented
to him by his employees at the
party held in his honor.
"As the years pass by, these
plates, produced in limited
edition especially for you, will
undoubtedly increase in value.
In time they will become col-lectors'
items. I trust that you
will accept this gift in the
spirit in which it is given and
that you will value it as a
keepsake for the years to
come."
