In Their Summer Glory
Hershey's Plants and Flowers More
Beautiful Than Ever
This week the flo-wers and plants
of Jlershey are in the perfection of
their beauty. In and around the
grounds and. the " park are fifty beds
containing more than 15,000 plants
and. all of them are in prime condi-tion,
• Visitors are enthusiastic in
their expressions of admiration.
The treatment of the old quarry on.
the Mansion grounds is particularly
fine, It has required years of pa-tient
and skilled work to produce the
present results, but they are worth,
all the time and care, for they are
full of those touches , of true land-scape
art which ,is in full harmony
witli nature itself. This is a real
achievement. Not only are the plants
and flowers lovely but the exposures
of rock enhance the -whole effect.
On Prospect Hill the 2O,OO>0 plants
and trees and plants are thriving
splendidly and are beginning to show
what will eventually bo an unsur-passed
winding of picturesque dell
and slope. Here the training of the
native trees and shrubs is signally
successful. Prospect Hill is destined
to le one of tho great show places of
Pennsylvania.
This new home of the Trust Company and the Hershey Interests is. 100. by 80 feet and is one of the finest
business buildings in America. It will be occupied this month.
Hershey Administration Building and
Home of Hershey Trust Company
SPLENDID STRUCTURE OF MARBLE, BRICK AND GRANITE
FINISHED IN MAHOGANY, WITH ALL THE LATEST:
CONVENIENCES AND FACILITIES. WILL BE .
OCCUPIED THIS MONTH.
More than two years ago it became
apparent that new quarters of ample
dimensions would have to be provid-ed
for the Hershey Trust Company
and for the administrative offices of
the allied Hershey interests. Mr. M.
S. Hershey had looked to this point in
the planning and development of Her-shey
and so had marked as its site the
town's focal corner. To Mr. C.
Emlen Urban, of Lancaster, was en-trusted
the commission of | designing
a building that would meet the prac-tical
needs and at the same time em-body
a high note in modern business
architecture. Mr. Urban succeeded
admirably in interpreting Mr. Her-shey's
purpose and this month the
building will be occupied. Begun on
August 20, 1912, less than two years
have fceen taken in the construction
and the result is one of the finest
structures of its kind in the world,
graceful and striking in its general
appearance and so modern in its
equipment that in many respects it is
unique, Its beauty makes the firsif
deep . impression, but its dominant
manifestation is utility.
Its Commanding Location
It is located in the exact center of
the town's interest and activity. Just
below is the railroad station ; in
front is the trolley line; across Choco-late
A venue is the Hershey Store;
across Cocoa Avenue to the left will
be the post-offi ce; within two min-utes'
walk is tho Chocolate Factory;
in full view are most of the other
Hershoy interests and across Park
Avenue will bo erected a large struc-ture
to accommodate other Hershey
activities that are outgrowing their
present space. Prom its various
windows tho building commands a
view of every section and enterprise
of Hershoy.
The type of tho building is re-naissance,
a study in marble and
divides the large interior working
room.
This whole first floor is of excep-tional
attractiveness. There is not a
dark spot in it. Six . quadruple and
four double windows of the latest de-sign
make it as light as day and from
above conies a flood through . the
frosted and I embellished skylight of
art ' glass. Fourteen massive pillars,
within which is the large grill en^
closed square, give the impression of
a modern" working room within a
marble hall. There is plenty of
space as well as plenty of light and
there is abundant provision for the
public. For instance, the mahogany
desks with glass tops on' which cus-tomers
will do their writing have cas-tor's,
so that they may be rolled to the
most, advantageous position. This is
only a detail but it shows the general
scheme. The bronze grill work in
the bank' fixtures and in the fixtures
for the various Hershey interests is
very handsome, and, unlike most of
its kind , is not overdone ; everything
is. in good taste, simple, strong and
artistic. Here ' within the working
room we find the latest notes in con-venience
and efficiency. The files are
of metal and are built in. There is
even a lavatory at hand. The work-ing
space is covered with cork tile
which is guaranteed to last forever.
Not only is this noiseless but it is
easier on the feet. The counters and
bases are of light gray marble.
Trust Company s Quarters
Going to the right from the en-trance
we first approach the window
of the Receiving Teller; then tho Pay-ing
Teller; then around the bond the
following in order: Savings, Loans,
Bookkeeper, Collections. Beyond is
the Treasurer 's Office , with an en-trance.
On the glass door within is
the name C. S. Stochor and his room
is glass-walled, no that ho
has complete supervision

of all
the working force of the bank.
In the roar is an attractive
room for customers and for those
who will uso tho safe deposit facili-ties
of tho company. Tliero are spe-cial
arrangements for tho ladies. An-other
room in tho roar may bo used
brick on a granite base, with n largo
use of marble and enough brick for
variety and emphasis. Ruskln, tho
critic of architects and architecture,
said , "All good architecture is the
expression of national lifo ami char-acter."
This building Is a nowi com-bination
from tho sot forms and thus
it expresses tho American idea that
seeks tho assimilation of the best
from all tho schools. Its size—80 by
100 foot—is somewhat misleading. At
first it does not look so largo, It is
because of its wonderfully fine pro-portions.
But « closer inspection
develops tho Impression of bulk' and
solidity. You soon realize that there
is nothing bolter anywhere than this
now homo of finance and of business
administration.
for emergency purposes. A flight of
broad and easy stairs loads to the
second Door and between two pillars

of all—tho room of tho Directors of
tho Hershoy Trust Company. It is

ham H. Hollar Company and was
made by the Bethlehem Steel Works.
It is one of the strongest -vaults in
existence and nothing to equal it can
be found in this part of the country.
Within it are built 200 metal safety
boxes for use of customers of the
bank.
For the Hershey Interests
We have traversed the space de-voted
to the Trust Company. Now,
starting again from the main en-trance,
we go to the left. First is the
window for the ' ' Hershey Transit
Company; then the window for the
Hershey Improvement Company.
Around the bend the first window is
for the Hershey Farm Company and
the Hershey Industrial School. The
second is for the Hershey Water
Company and the Hershey Bell Tele-phone
Company. After this we reach
three open desks for the other Her-shey
interests, and beyond them is
the door bearing the words, "General
Manager." Within is the glass-walled
room with the name of J. B. Leithiser
on the door. From his office General
Manager Leithiser has a full view of
the whole portion devoted to the Her-shey
companies. In the rear are two
other rooms, both of generous propor-tions,
which will be used in the ad-ministrative
worki A flight of stairs
corresponding to that on the other
side- of the building leads to the sec-ond
floor from which there is op-portunity
to look upon all the opera-tions
on the first floor. The large
well is surrounded by beautiful
bronze grill work and the decorations
of the walls are more extensive than
on the lower floor , although they are
not unduly elaborate. In the rear at
the sides are toilet and wash rooms.
On each side are three spacious
rooms, all fitted in mahogany, which
will be occupied by officers and heads
of departments of the various Her-shey
companies.
Mr. M. S. Hershey's .Offices
This brings us to the front of the
second floor and there we find the
suite of three off ices which will be
used by M, S. Hershoy. Each is a
superb room and when thrown to-gether
tho sweep is singularly effec-tive.
It would bo difficult to imagine
anything bettor for tho executive
headquarters of a great enterprise, or,
as happens in this case, of a system
of groat-enterprises. Tho, dignity of
those rooms is greatly enhanced by
their simplicity, The doors and
trimmings are of mahogany. From
his numerous windows Mr, Hershoy
may view the larger part of tho town,
Throughout tho building tho color
scheme is light and cheerful , being
restful and helpful to tho eyes. The
first floor walls arc light gray; tho
stairways are In mahogany and tho
second floor Is in croam with just
enough decoration to give it lifo. Tho
building is heated by steam. In tho
public parts of tho first story marble
is 'used. In tho upper story you walk
on u beautiful floor of mania.
Tho Lighting Equipment

-Present Strong Plays to De-lighted
Audiences and Deepen the
the Impression Made During
the Opening Week
A pleasant thing about the pres-ent
visit- of the • Gardner-Vincent
Players is that , the ' longer they stay
the more -welcome they become. Both
as artists and as visitors they have
made a must agreeable impression
and have given delight to audiences
that grow steadily in size, and appre-ciation.
The success of their opening
performance . was increased greatly
by their second offering, "The Girl
From Out Yonder," in which the
bright particular star was Miss Vin-cent
who found in the character of
the girl abundant opportunity for
her infectious vivacity and her swift
and strong dramatic changes. In all
the play she ^filled the part complete-ly
and attractively. Walter 3Boss as
Cap'n Amos Barton did the heavy
work and did it well. Mr. Gardner as
usual ] was excellent. Special praise .
is due Ca'rl Blythe,' whose Ben Cooke
was one of .the best characterizations
ever seen on the Hershey stage, Miss
Nina Derby as the , society girl, Miss
Davis as the matron and Miss Stev-ens
as the housekeeper shared the
honors of the evening. Very accept-able,
too, were Messrs Vondersmith
and Shane. The play was well stag-ed.
Best of all thus far was the play
for the first part of this week, "The
Belle of Richmond." It is just the
type of comedy drama for a summer
evening and a summer audience, and .
it has the old "familiar cast of the
negro butler, the colonels, the hero,
the false friend, the -forged books,
and most important of all the pretty
girls and the comedy old maid. All
were well served in four cheerful acts
with just enough drama and pathos
to give it the proper zest. Miss Vin-cent
again.shone not only in her act-ing
but also in her very becoming
gowns. Mr. Gardner was at his best
and he had a good foil in Mr. Osborn,
who made a very polite but success-ful
villain. Miss Derby had her
finest opportnnity of the engagement
as the debutant who wore many col-ors
of wigs and she rose to it de-lightfully,
and in this she was ably
.assisted by Mr. Vondersmithi who
showed attractive . qualities as a
sprightly light comedian. Of course
Walter Boss was the negro butler
and he got some of the best laughs
of the evening. Mr. Blythe and Mr.
Shane did the "majah and kernal"
parts very well, indeed, and " Mr.
Shane showed his versatility by also
doing the secondary villian. Miss
Stevens was the old maid . and she
was excellent. Miss Davis and the
other members did not have much to
do but what they did was in keeping
with the high merit of the whole pre-sentation.
For the resj of. the week "Marry-ing
Jane" is the attraction and it is
called one of the best cards in the
company's list. If it is as good as
the play for the first half of the week
there should be crowded audiences at
every performance.

Brilliant Fireworks On
Hershey's Big Fourth
Preparations for One of the Most In-teresting
Days the Park Has
Known Plenty o>f Fine Music.
Dancing All Day
Hershey Tark is,after first honors
among the amusement resorts of the
United States. ' ¦ For . the coming
Fourth of July it has engaged as its
extra star attraction the finest dis-play
of fireworks ever seen in this
part of the country. They will be
Pain's best and will be elaborate and
spectacular. The ample accommoda-tions
in the Park's 200 acres assures
a full view of the display to everyone
'—and the crowd promises to be very
large. •
The fireworks will serve as the cli-max
to a lively day, During the
morning, afternoon and evening
there will .be concerts by the big Her-shey
Band of 40 pieces under Pro-fessor.
Feese. Since the! last celebra-tion
of Independence | Dayj the new
band stand has been completed and
put in use-and around it are scores
of benches with seating facilities for
thousands. The Hershey band this
year, is at its best.
There are two dancing pavilions
and there will be dancing all day.
These pavilions are commodious and
the floors are kept in prime condition.
The concrete swimming pool and
the boating on Spring Creek will de-light
thousands. There are motor
boats as well as rowhoats. The $10,-
000 carrousel , is a favorite for all
ages. The younger folks have an
all-steel playground . -apparatus and
there is an abundant supply of
swings, sand banks and every re-source
for play. Then there are the
Zoo, the electric miniature railway
and other attractions. ,
The Hershey Theatre has now the
best company of the summer. The
Gardner-Vincent players are giving
fine performances and their play on
the Fourth is "Marrying Jane" one of
the funniest of their repertory.
The charm of Hershey Park is
that there is something different for
every houi of the day and there are
first-rate eating facilities with moder-ate
prices.
