HERSHEY NEWS Vol. 4 RETIRED veteran Hershey employee James A. Smith, of 229 Para Avenue is one of the local fraternity who have their cellars stocked with woodworking tools and ma-chinery. In fact — although Smith refired after nearly 43 years in the Hershey Choco-late Corporation's Mixing and Steel Rolls operations — he had "kept his hand in" at woodworking since boyhood. The son of a Perry County carpenter, Smith had worked at making wagon spokes and railroad ties before coming to Hershey in 1911. He has had shovel handles in his hands, too.
