By the Local Farmers. The
Speeches Were Instructive and
Interesting, Mr. Murrie
Presided
On Saturday was held one of. the
greatest educational meetings ever
held in Hershey for the good of the
farmer and especially the milk pro-ducer.
It was called Dairymen's Day
and was held by the Hershey Choco-late
Company for the benefit of its
many patrons who supply the Com-pany
with milk for the manufacture
of their various products. , Speakers
of note were present and addressed
the gathering, which was presided
over by Wm. F. R. Murrie who made
the welcome address and introduced
each of the speakers.
Mr. Murrie, stated that Dairymen's
Day was especially held for those in-terested
in agriculture, and in the
production of milk, and was for the
purpose of getting all better ac-quainted
with the best methods, and
means of obtaining the best results
of the work in. which the dairyman
and farmer are interested.
D. L. James made a talk on the re-lations
of the dairyman to his own in-terests
and also of their relations
with the Chocolate Company. Mr.
James advocated for the dairyman
who wants to make money, and reajly
wants to be a success, that he have a
full and proper equipment to effec-tively
produce a good quality of milk.

every convenience, with cement floors,
modern ventilating systems, modern

This additional feature of -the
Chocolate Company's work only de-monstrates
the progressive'policyj of
the firm, and their real .desire.to hot
only 'give best quality, but also best
service. It involves a tremenduous
increase in labor, space, machinery,
and could only be managed by -the
largest concerns. '
The Company at present uses ahalf
car load of cans daily, and in themear
future will use a great many more,
so that there wiir be no delays in the
furnishing of cans because of the in-creased
production. This demand
will be met by the can department in
the most satisfactory manner, and
again the Hershey Chocolate Com-pany
is making progressive steps
which will again tell for the develop-ment
of its already magnitudinous
business. >
The officers and all connected with
its development are to be heartily
congratulated upon this great step
in advanced

f
their own tin cans for the packing

standard can manufacturers in

Now, since everything in Hershey is moving forward,
every kind of business growing, it would indeed be an anomaly
if the Hershey Press did not also grow, and extend its sphere
of usefulness, increasing not only in circulation, but likewise in
interest and profit to its readers.!
This change is, in fact, inevitable, 'for GROWTH is
writ large all over Hershey—-a law at once universal and
compulsive. Get a move on you, or you'll get run over in
Hershey! And this is just what the Hershey Press is going
to do; and as a token of the larger and wider future purpose
of our journal, we are changing its name from Hershey Press
to Hershey's Weekly-
We intend to make that future growth a healthy, a per-manent
one—of the oak rather than of the mushroom type.
That both a sound business policy, and a call to a wider
public usefulness, warrant this advance movement, we cannot
doubt. That to .fight its battles against the power and cunning
of unscrupulous Predatory Wealth, the cause of the People
needs every possible recruit that is honest and fearless, in the
big army of the public Press» we also believe.
A careful survey of the new field , with time and prepara-tion
to enter duly upon it, must precede the actual advance—:
hence we mean to go slow.
We.hasten, however, to assure our valued readers—-our
friends, as we are glad to think them all—that while the
Hershey Weekly is thus seeking a larger audience—in news-paper
parlance, a bigger circulation—and thus about to address
itself to larger, weightier tasks, it hopes thereby to add to its
value and interest as a journal without losing its original char-acter
as a local paper devoted to home folk and home interests;
