              Seybold cutting machines. For the
past few months it has been necessary
to run this plant day. end night in order
to supply wrappers, etc.
Owing- to the ever-increasing busi-ness
of the Hershey Chocolate Com-pany,
it has become necessary , to al-most
double the. presen t plant, and an
additional Miehle, en embossing press
and a vacuum bronzing ' machine was
ordered. This will give a total of three
Miehle presses, two embossing presses,
two vacuum bronzing machines, and
one Seybold cutting machine. This will
make this departm ent one of the larg-est
and most complete press rooms in
Central Pennsylvania.
The output of the printing depart-ment
for the past year was about 75,-
000,000 postal cards and about 250,000,-
000 wrappers, and a great deal of other
smaller work. -
Mr. Jos. Hills, formerly of one of the
large-printing establishments of* Day-ton,
Ohio, is superintendent of this de-partment,
with Mr. Claude Karg as
assistant, also of Dayton, Ohio.

• Since the installation of the first print-ing
press in the printing department of
the Hershey Chocolate Company, this
department has grown by leaps and
bounds. It now comprises two Miehle
cylinder presses, one large Seybold, em-bossing

festival that the ladies were going to
have on Wednesdaj evening, and then
they talked about the way things wiere
going.
Mr. Harry Eppley stated that it was
about time that the members got out of
their Rip Van Winkle snooze and got
interested in the firemen 's parade. We
think that Mr. Eppley is about aright.
Unless the members of the Fire Co.
take more interest in this parade it will
be a frost, that is as far as Hershey is
concerned.
Mr. Coppenhaver has started a cam-paign
on his own accord. He brought
in five new members for proposal.
After the meeting the members got
busy and ran the. apparatus down to
the garage, and so much excitement
did they create that Mr. Jos. Hills see-ing
them from a distance thought that
they were on their way to a fire, and he
hiked after them in a regular Dayton
style.
