HERSHEY THIS YEAR IS A BUSY CENTER How Its Activity is Reflected in the !Number and Traffic of Its Trans-portation Interests—A Page From History—Hie Official Record—Details Hershey is busier than it e-ver was. The Hershey Chocolate Company is breaking its records , In1 shipments for the opening months of the year. The number of .passengers' and the;: quantity of freight are grea ter than they have ever been. There are 128, arrivals and depar-tures of ears on the Hershey Transit system and these ears , average more than 8,000 fares a day. *,, This do"es not include the movement. of the milk ears which bring thousands of gallons of milk to the factory daily from th ree counties nor the business of the express and freight cars. On the-,-Philadelphia- and Reading railroad all of the thirteen passenger trains save two stop here and the traf-fic is increasing. The freight business at this point now reaches thousands of cars a year and the increase goes on. In- addition to this are 'the big trucks and the many automobiles. AVhat the present means is seen from a glance at -the past and the following1 is the official account as given in the recent publication of the Pennsylvania Department of Internal Affairs : "Hershey has. already secured un-usual railway privileges, although it has b.ut one stea m railroad—the Bead-. iny system, through the Lebanon Val-ley. When the Hershey factory was/ opened the Perry Church station was reluctantly removed to a site near it, and the present name was assumed. Doubt was expressed of a possible pay-ing volume of business, but it was.soon apparent that the company had erred in its judgment, for the freight increase has been nearly one thousand cars per year. In the month of September, of the past year, 1,036 car loads, exclu-sively Hershey freight, was delivered ; and the aggregate number of ears per year has been inore-*than ten thousand , the receipts for a single day exceeding (ifty cars. Passenger traffic also has increased enormously. During the ex-cursion season there are, in addition to frequent regular services, many special trains, which have carried tens of thou-sands of visitors to the park grounds safely, not a single accident occurring to mar this record. "The need of communication by elec-tric railways was given early consid-eration and the construction of such a system was begun in 1905, the objec-tive points being Palmyra , on the east, and Hunnnelstown, on the west. Ex-tensions since that , time have been made to Lebanon , direct by way of Campbelltown ami'another . direct line to Fj liznbetlitown, in Lancaster county, These two lines may be used as con-necting links with other trolley sys,- tenis which will make it possible to travel by electric cars from Harrisburg to Philadel phia. Another electric rail-wa y, by way of Prospect Heights, will extend ;to points upward , in the Swa-tnra Valley, and thus many points are made tributary to the Hershey Transit Company, whose mileage will soon roach several score, and all equipments of these lines are fully modern and fi rst-class in every particular. These electric railways have very material ly a ided to develop the growth of the town and the chocolate industry and have been an unquestioned boon to the rural communities penetrated by them as common carriers. "While steam and the trolley have been such potent factors In the life ot this Industrial community, local grod road s, through the Improvement , of ex-isting highways , have been equally Im-portant , factors In. effectually brin ging the entire countryside to Ilorshoy, Those very substantial Improvements wore made possible by the generous aid of M. S, Tlershoy, who expended $(10,- 000 on public Hinds of Perry township, not Including the st reets of the village , laid out by him , Most of those thor-oughfa res have been well graded and M movement Is under way to have them permanently paved. Their neat , and well ordered appearance has secured much merited praise. " FREE PICTURES TONIGHT Mne Inhibit at the Hershey Central Theater.

The last services in the Berry Pres-byterian Church under the ministry of Bev. George SnaVely Rentz were held last Sunday. The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper was administered at the morning service. Despite the inclem-ent weather, a larger number partook of the sacrament than at any other service, in the three years' ministry of Bev. Rentz. After the service of worship, a- con-gregational meeting was held at which the resignation of H. S. Moyer as treasurer of the congregation was re-ceived and accepted. I. L. Reist was elected ;to succeed him in the* treasur-ership. Hiram Lmdemuth was elected trustee and .John Cope was elected el-der; At the evening . service, which was also very well attended, Mr. Cope was ordained as ruling elder with impres-sive service of the Presbyterian Book of Government.' An interesting, feature of the day-was the use for the fi rst time of the beautiful hymn-board designed and fin-ished by Robert V. Owen, Jr., a mem-ber of the congregation. At the close of the evening service, Rev. Rentz read the action of the 'Presbytery of Car-lisle declaring the pulpit of the church vacant until another minister is called aiifl installed.

HERSHEY CHOCOLATE IN THE TRENCHES Soldiers in the Great War Send Letters and Postcards Telling How They Enjoyed the Hershey Products—Messages Show Fine Culture and Some of Them Are Delightfully Written—Personal Experienc es on the Battle Front—Some of the Requests. Letters and postcards are being re-ceived from the trenches by the Hersh-ey Chocolate Company telling how much Hershey chocolates are being en-joye d by those who are so fortunate as to receive them. Some of the letters are beautifully written in French al-most as perfect as script and others are more picturesque. All are interesting and are being preserved by Presiden t Murrie." The Press is permitted to (mote from a few of them. Private John Ross, of the famous Gordon Highlanders, sends a postcard from Belgium. It is stamped, "On Ac-tive Service. Field Post Office. Passed by the Censor" It tells of the use of the war to leave the army, and then to strive, with my numerous business re-lations, , to do credit to your estimable linn. "If you wisli to consider the matter, please acquaint me with the conditions and at the same time send me particu-lars and a prospectus describing your products." A Belgian soldier asks : "Having bad the opportunity to enjoy your cho-colate, in the course of its distribution in tliis company, together with the British gifts for Belgian soldiers at the front, and having found it excellent, -I should like to know the cost of two packages of croquettes and four pieces of milk chocolate."

Hershey chocolate in. the British Ex-peditionary Force. Another card from G. T. Liddicord , of the British Expedi-tionary Force, is from "25 Unit of Sup-ply." He says Hershey chocolate was distributed among the troops. "They consider it absolutely delicious," he adds. Jules Vanderseheurer, of the Begiuni Army, writes in quaint English- from "Little. Belgium Front" : "Having eat-en ones more of your milk chocolate I can't let to send you a few lines about it. They all like it up here in the trendies. It is the right quality you had'. At Christmas we got some as a present. All the soldiers liked it to eat. Accept my sincere greetings." Had Lived in Canada. L. Yser, Jan. 27, 1910.

Another Proof of the Value of Hershe y's Water Pressure , In the fi rst hour of. last Friday morn-ing 'Squire 10. B. Cassady and his son, Park, who had return ed on the ' .mid-nigh t car from the theater in Harris-burg, . were about to retire when Park looked out the • window and saw a blaze. He called his fa ther.and they hurried to 'the scene. ' It was the one-story frame building on Spring Creek avenue just hack of the Cassady resi-dence, and the flames were already making, headway in the high wind. It was too late to save the structure, but as soon as possible the neighbors who responded helped in getting the' reel of hose kept for emergencies on Trini-dad avenue and the strong pressure of water put out the fire and prevented its spreading to any of the neighboring buildings. The stable was threatened but was saved. The office was entirely destroyed. It was the court of justic e for-Hershey and Derry Church, and al-though it seldom did a rushing busi-ness1, because of the good order of this community, it was well known. The fire caused general excitement: The factory whistle was blown and afterwards, the fire bell was rung. In spite of the intensely cold night and the wind most people turned out and the Hershey Volunteer Fire Company un-der John Snavely and Louis Brinker was on the scene. The , excellence, of the work done was appreciated in the check sent to the company by Mr. Cas-sady with the following letter: E. B. CASSADY, .Justice of the Peace, Hershey, Pa. Feb. 26, 1916. To the Hershey. ¦Volunteer Fire Co. 'Gentlemen :—Enclosed find cheek for $15.00 in appreciation for valuable ser-vices to me and mine on the morning of Feb. 26, 1916, by members of your company. I also -wish to express my apprecia-tion of. the promptness and valuable aid rendered by the company both as individuals and as a whole. But for your prom pt response I feel assured my loss would have been much greater and others might have suffered also. My only regret is I cannot afford to donate more to such a good cause as you represent, freely and without cost to the owners and renters of our town and surrounding community. I am Yours truly, 10.

Full Text | HERSHEY THIS YEAR IS A BUSY CENTER How Its Activity is Reflected in the !Number and Traffic of Its Trans-portation Interests—A Page From History—Hie Official Record—Details Hershey is busier than it e-ver was. The Hershey Chocolate Company is breaking its records , In1 shipments for the opening months of the year. The number of .passengers' and the;: quantity of freight are grea ter than they have ever been. There are 128, arrivals and depar-tures of ears on the Hershey Transit system and these ears , average more than 8,000 fares a day. *,, This do"es not include the movement. of the milk ears which bring thousands of gallons of milk to the factory daily from th ree counties nor the business of the express and freight cars. On the-,-Philadelphia- and Reading railroad all of the thirteen passenger trains save two stop here and the traf-fic is increasing. The freight business at this point now reaches thousands of cars a year and the increase goes on. In- addition to this are 'the big trucks and the many automobiles. AVhat the present means is seen from a glance at -the past and the following1 is the official account as given in the recent publication of the Pennsylvania Department of Internal Affairs : "Hershey has. already secured un-usual railway privileges, although it has b.ut one stea m railroad—the Bead-. iny system, through the Lebanon Val-ley. When the Hershey factory was/ opened the Perry Church station was reluctantly removed to a site near it, and the present name was assumed. Doubt was expressed of a possible pay-ing volume of business, but it was.soon apparent that the company had erred in its judgment, for the freight increase has been nearly one thousand cars per year. In the month of September, of the past year, 1,036 car loads, exclu-sively Hershey freight, was delivered ; and the aggregate number of ears per year has been inore-*than ten thousand , the receipts for a single day exceeding (ifty cars. Passenger traffic also has increased enormously. During the ex-cursion season there are, in addition to frequent regular services, many special trains, which have carried tens of thou-sands of visitors to the park grounds safely, not a single accident occurring to mar this record. "The need of communication by elec-tric railways was given early consid-eration and the construction of such a system was begun in 1905, the objec-tive points being Palmyra , on the east, and Hunnnelstown, on the west. Ex-tensions since that , time have been made to Lebanon , direct by way of Campbelltown ami'another . direct line to Fj liznbetlitown, in Lancaster county, These two lines may be used as con-necting links with other trolley sys,- tenis which will make it possible to travel by electric cars from Harrisburg to Philadel phia. Another electric rail-wa y, by way of Prospect Heights, will extend ;to points upward , in the Swa-tnra Valley, and thus many points are made tributary to the Hershey Transit Company, whose mileage will soon roach several score, and all equipments of these lines are fully modern and fi rst-class in every particular. These electric railways have very material ly a ided to develop the growth of the town and the chocolate industry and have been an unquestioned boon to the rural communities penetrated by them as common carriers. "While steam and the trolley have been such potent factors In the life ot this Industrial community, local grod road s, through the Improvement , of ex-isting highways , have been equally Im-portant , factors In. effectually brin ging the entire countryside to Ilorshoy, Those very substantial Improvements wore made possible by the generous aid of M. S, Tlershoy, who expended $(10,- 000 on public Hinds of Perry township, not Including the st reets of the village , laid out by him , Most of those thor-oughfa res have been well graded and M movement Is under way to have them permanently paved.

Another Proof of the Value of Hershe y's Water Pressure , In the fi rst hour of. last Friday morn-ing 'Squire 10. B. Cassady and his son, Park, who had return ed on the ' .mid-nigh t car from the theater in Harris-burg, . were about to retire when Park looked out the • window and saw a blaze. He called his fa ther.and they hurried to 'the scene. ' It was the one-story frame building on Spring Creek avenue just hack of the Cassady resi-dence, and the flames were already making, headway in the high wind. It was too late to save the structure, but as soon as possible the neighbors who responded helped in getting the' reel of hose kept for emergencies on Trini-dad avenue and the strong pressure of water put out the fire and prevented its spreading to any of the neighboring buildings. The stable was threatened but was saved. The office was entirely destroyed. It was the court of justic e for-Hershey and Derry Church, and al-though it seldom did a rushing busi-ness1, because of the good order of this community, it was well known. The fire caused general excitement: The factory whistle was blown and afterwards, the fire bell was rung. In spite of the intensely cold night and the wind most people turned out and the Hershey Volunteer Fire Company un-der John Snavely and Louis Brinker was on the scene. The , excellence, of the work done was appreciated in the check sent to the company by Mr. Cas-sady with the following letter: E. B. CASSADY, .Justice of the Peace, Hershey, Pa. Feb. 26, 1916. To the Hershey. ¦Volunteer Fire Co. 'Gentlemen :—Enclosed find cheek for $15.00 in appreciation for valuable ser-vices to me and mine on the morning of Feb. 26, 1916, by members of your company. I also -wish to express my apprecia-tion of. the promptness and valuable aid rendered by the company both as individuals and as a whole. But for your prom pt response I feel assured my loss would have been much greater and others might have suffered also. My only regret is I cannot afford to donate more to such a good cause as you represent, freely and without cost to the owners and renters of our town and surrounding community. I am Yours truly, 10.
