              Hershey's Central Store
Grocery Department Ready for Business
The grocery department of the large
Hershey department store is open to the
public. The goods Were moved from
their old quarters last Saturday night
and Monday into the new building on
the corner of Chocolate and Cocoa ave-nues.
This building is of Spanish design,
two stories and large basement, and hav-ing
cement covered walls.
The exterior appearance of the build-ing
gives little evidence of a department
store as there are no display windows.
This is wholly unnecessary as there is
only one store now in Hershey, but at
this store everything can be found to
meet the ordinary needs of man's phy-sical
wants. The floor space consists of
625 square feet of surface. The only
"department that has been fully installed
is that of groceries; the others will be
added immediately. This will occupy
the northeast corner of the room.
There are entrances to the building on
both Chocolate and Cocoa aveues.
¦- In the center of the room is" the
cashier's booth and telephone exchange.
A complete Lamson Cash Carrier system
has been installed. Miss Belle Weltmer
will act in the capacity of cashier and
telephone operator. ^When all of
the
various departments have been given
their place we shall, have a central store
second to none in the state.

Is Hershey on the Map?
The following letter was received on
August 17.
Gentlemen:—I am after information
Will you ask the editor of ydur local
paper to send me a copy. My map does
not locate Hershey. Where is it? What
is the population, etc.?
Dear Sir: — .
It may be that Hershey is not on all
pf the maps, in fact it is on vegy. few
except local maps, but this will not be
for long. Whether the name is on the
map or not, the fact of Hershey remains.
The town is on the P. & R. railroad, 12.8
miles-east of Harrisburg and six trains
from either direction stop daily. There
is also trolley connection with Harris-burg
and Lebanon. The population
does not exceed twelve 'hundred.
The Hershey Chocolate Company is
the largest aud most complete Cocoa
and Chocolate plant in the world. . It
has a floor space (including buildings
now in construction) of twelve acres,
Utter of Inquiry Received by the Chocolate
Company
in the Y. Mi C. A. The work of the
physical director at Hershey during the
past summerj owing to the absence of a
gymnasium, j has been confined princi-pally
to out of door sports. Mr. Arnold
has acted as manager of the base ball
team, and superintendent of the Y. M.
C. A. interests in the Park.
, In the eight weeks that he has been
among us, Mr. Arnold has made many
friends who will regret his departure.
No statement as to future • plans 'was
made in the letter received by Mr.
Segelken. The Board has not yet
taken action toward accepting the resig-nation
or securing a successor.
