              THIS CONCERN IS
NOT IN HERSHEY
Nor Is It Connecte d In Any Manner
, '. With Any of the Interests Asso-ciated
With the Name of
M. S. Hershey or With
the Town of Hershey
It became necessary'this week for the
Hershey Chocolate Company to send to
the newspapers the following statement:
In the early part of the typhoid epi-demic
in and around Harrisburg the
Hershey Chocolate Company stated in
the newspapers that it had no con-nection
"with the Hershey Crearriery
Company and that it was not a dealer
in ice cream.
In spite of these published state-ments
there is confusion in the public
mind and the Hershey Chocolate Com-pany
is receiving inquiries as to the
facts. ATs the Hershey Chocolate Com-pany
and its allied , interests employ
2,200 persons any false report or im-pression
that disturbs its business may
be a serious matter for considerable
part of Lebanon Valley and of Lancaster
county, from which many of its employes
and much of its material come.
We ask, therefore, that you inform
your- readers, either by the publication
of this letter or otherwise, that the
Hershey Chocolate Company, the In-dustrial
School, the Hershey farms, the
town of Hershey and all the interests
associated :with the name of M. S. Her-shey
are wholly distinct and separate
from other organizations using the name
of Hershey.
None of the Hershey interests- here
has any connection,. direct or remote
with the Hershey Creamery Company,
which is a concren owned mainly by
persons living in other counties.
HERSHEY CHOCOLATE CO.
Hershey, Pa., '
October 9, 1916.
• Once before it was necessary to make
the explicit statement that the Hershey
Creamery Company was. in no wise,
either directly or remotely, connected
with any interest of this town or any
enterprise associated with the name of
M. S. Hershey. This Hershey Creamery
Company is figuring badly in the typhoid
outbreak in Harrisburg.
• The Health Department of the State
in making its announcements concern-ing
the Hershey Creamery Company
whose products are under its investi-gation
stated that the Hershey Creamery
Company had no "relation to .the Her-shey
Chocolate Company."

NEW GOLF CLUB
UNDER WAY
Will be Handsome ' Structure at
the Eastern Ent rance to Hershe y
and Will be in Architectural
Harmony With its Sur-roundings.
The Club
The new golf club house being built
on Chocolate avenue at the Spring Creek
Crossing is well advanced. The foun-dations
are practically completed arid
the work will be pushed, so that the
new structure will be ready by the
first of December.
To the old limestone farm residence,
a typical building of fine proportions,
is being added the club house 20.4 feet
wide by 28.4 feet deep. There will be
a second story with sleeping rooms.
A delightful porch 12 by 28 with canvas
declc will overlook the golf course. A
generous porch will encircle both the
old and new buildings, which will be
one. structure. Around both also will
be a tile walk with a 2.6 foot rock bal-ustrade.
The first story will be of limestone,
the second of pebbledash and there will
be an . artistic roof of green - shingles.
The old locker . room with plenty of
accommodations will be improved and
there will be bath rooms, shower baths
and all the facilities of a complete, club.
This will help to make the eastern
entrance to Hershey one of the most
architectural in America. The large and
handsome residence which Mr. and Mrs.
John E. Snyder , are building opposite
the club and which is beginning to rise
above its very substantial foundations
will be of limestone. At High Point
the architectural note is limestone not
only in the mansion but also in the new
entrance and the* surroundings. The
artistic cottage, of the landscape super-intendent
on Chocolate -Avenue just
east of Spring Creek is limestone. Fur-thermore
Spring Creek is being banked
by limestone walls.
Thus the whole picture when one
rolls into Hershey along the new William
Penn Highway will be peculiarly har-monious
and- charming.
It is probable that there will be a regu-larly
organized golf club here just as
soon as the new club house is ready.
The grounds will be then for the use
of residents of Hershey, members of the
club and their invited guests.
NEW CHURCH ORGANIZATION

In the Philadelphia Ledger of yesterday was the following: "More . than
2000 workmen have been laid off at the Eddystone plant of the Remington
.Arms Company, and yesterday hundreds departed for their former homes. The
housecleaning caught many high-salaried ' men, including one assistant general man-ager.
Many of these two thousand and more gave up good regular jobs because they
¦were tempted by high munitions wages. Thousands more will be drifting back to their
former homes looking, for work.
To realize just what it means consider this: the various Hershey interests in and
around Hershey employ 2,200 persons, about the number suddenly discharged by the
plant engaged in making war products. The point ought to be plain to anyone.
If you have a' good job with a firm that gives you steady work and takes care of
you, isn't it far better than a few weeks of extra pay and a sudden notice to quit?
Hold on to your job and clinch it by trying, to do better work every day.

One Family in Hershey Heard ' That
Seventeen Were Killed and There
Has Been. No Further News
for a Year. Man y Ital -
ians Left for Front
Mr. and Mrs. Frantz Zinner have had
no'word from their relatives in Germany
since a year ago, Mrs. Zinner, who
was Miss Louisa Adel of Weisenberg,
has a sister who at last accounts was
living at Newburg, but she has received
no letter from her since summer 1915.
This sister had two sons, fine fellows
who were being given a university edu-cation,
Both were killed. The death
of her nephews was a sad blow, to Mrs.
Zinner. But that was not all. Frantz
Zinner was born in Munich and had
numerous relatives there. Up to a
year ago Seventeen of the relatives of
Mr. Zinner and Mrs. Zinner had been
killed, and they do not know how: many
more have fallen since.
Frantz Zinner served three years
and nine months in the Third- Bavarian
Artillery Regiment. The persent Em-peror
was then Crown Prince. The
Crown Prince was ordered to inspect the
Third Regiment in which Zinner served.
This was. on January 11, 1882, a bitterly
cold dayi From 8 to 11 the army had
to stand in the open field in freezing
weather. William arrived at 11 and
for over a half hour the troops had to
stand attention—a rigid strain—while
William, flushed with wine and-iri a great
coat, took his time in looking them over.
The result was that when the officers
tried to turn their swords, to the scabbards
they could not do it. Many had hands,
ears and noses frozen . Out of the whole of
Zinner's regiment not enough men were
left to take care of the horses in the
stables. The others were under treatment.
The local newspapers roundly criti-cized
the Crown Prince for his cruelty.
This episode is said to be an .index of the
ruthless character of Emperor William.
More than two hundred Italians who
worked in the quarries and elsewhere
in the Lebanon Valley, some of them
near Hershey, have returned to Europe
and are serving in the Italian Army.
Most of them are young men. The
result is that the quarries are short of
labor while the railroad has not half
the track workmen it needs.

FINE EQUIPMENT
NEW MACHINES
Latest Utility to be Placed in the
Hershey Press Building is the
Laundry on the Third Floor.
A Model Establishment
Does Superior Work
The new Hershey Laundry has been
installed on the third floor of the Hershey
Press Building. It occupies a ' great
room 90 feet wide and 162 feet long and
it has abundant light, perfect vent^fa^pn
and every possible facility. Hta^ a
force of 15, more than double theplrce of
three years ago, handle each^eek over
5,000 pieces of flat wprk^^^gOOO
collars, over 5O0 j JpBRudSTOiewr ork
that ' came^jrf^eelay^'total beyond
10,000 pieces^Bme capacity of the plant
is over 20,000 pieces. All ..sorts of work
is done, for example the work for the
Chocolate Company . includes hundreds
of the sanitary white, coats worn by the
employees.
One of the novelties is the new way to
wash pillows. . There is a special mechan-ism
for this and it includes the dry
tumbler which dries pillows, blankets,
turkish towels, comfortables, and every-thing
fluffy and not ironable. The
pillow washing is new in this vicinity,
and the value of the facilities is very
great, because heretofore pillows have
not been washed as they should have been
and the danger of this sort of thing in
the matter of communicable diseases is
obvious.
Progress of Your Laundry
It is an interesting story, this laundry-ihg
of the things you wear. The articles
are collected twice a week or oftener
in the handsome Overland truck of the
company. They are taken by elevator
to the third floor and each piece is marked
off separately by-an automatic machine,
a very ingenious operation. Then .they
are tumbled into the automatic washing
machine. There are four of these, the
latest Troy patterns. A button is pressed
and the washing begins: They can
wash 20,000 articles a week easily-many
more if required. Each machine
has its motor. There is no rubbing ;
the process carries the goods endlessly
through the water and the washing is
thorough.
Second is the extracting. Articles from
the washing machines are put into
these round machines which are speeded
up to 1200 revolutions a minute, quickly
extracting ail the water.
Third comes the flat work. The
pieces are separated and the flat work
goes to special machines—sheets, pillow
cases, towels and ' the like and these
machines of hot chests and padded
rolls have a capacity of 60 feet a minute.
Fourth is starch work, such as collars
and shirts. They go to the starching
machine first .and then on an endless
chain pass through the drying room,
where the drying is all done in 15
minutes. They drop off chains auto-matically
and then go to
Five, the dampening machine where
they pass between two damp rolls and
are pressed for half an hour.
Sixth are the ironing machines with
rolls 24 inches long, the combination
being a steam heated roll and four padded
rolls.
Seventh is the finishing table where the
collar goes through an edging machine
that takes off the rough edges and makes
it wearable.
Eighth is the seam dampening machine
to prevent the collars from cracking.
IMinth is the machine that turns the
collar into shape.
Ten finds your collar on the steam
heated moulder giving the final touch
and now it is ready for you to put on.
Your Shirt
From the extractor the shirts are
taken to a table and starched . Then
they go to the extractor again , then to
the cuff press; then to the neck band
press; then to the bosom and yolk press
(one of the latest inventions) ; then to
the sleeve ironer; then to tho body ironer
and finally to tho folder. All shirts are
placed in special envelopes. Thus you
find neatness in every stage of the work,
Tho equipment of machines is a fine
exposition of the science which has
been brought to bear in the perfection of
modern laundrying. The 1-Iershey plant
goes oven further, It has one of tho
latest stcain presses for skirts, waists
and other work of a simillnr kind and it
has experts for dress pressing and other
forms of difficult laundrying,
Altogether there are 22 different mach-ines,
all of .tho latest types and they
represent the best laundry equipment in
the Lebanon Valley,
SLESSER AT PALMYRA
