NEW EDITOR OF PRESS
Director Samuel Feese Has Musi
ciana Well Trained
On Monday evening the crack Her-shey
Band rendered an excellent con-cert
in the band stand, and . did it to
the satisfaction of the many : Her-sheyites
present. .
This was the opening concert of
the season and all the numbers, were
well selected and rendered, each musi-cian
being capable of playing his in-strument
alone and with the entire
band in such a way as to render a
most pleasing eff ect in the music
played and the modulations were well
executed. Leader Samuel Feese had
excellent control of his band.
Each evening from seven to eight
the Hershey Band will render a con-cert,
up to and including Labor Day.
These concerts, from all indications,
will be splendid, and every one will be
well worth while your hearing.
Beginning Sunday afternoon, June
23, there will be sacred concerts from
three to five o'clock. These concerts
will be appropriate and edifying.
Not every town can boast of such
an efficient band and they deserve to
have very large crowds at everyone of
their concerts. Come out and help
them give us the best renditions of
both classic and popular music by en-couraging
them with your presence
and hearty applause.
EXCELLENT BAND CONCERT
Editor of "Woman's Page" of the
Williamsport "Gazette and "
Bulletin"
The people who have lived here for
the past nine or ten years, who have
watched the growth of the peaceful
hillside farms to. the present flourish-ing
village, cannot realize just how
much the word "Hershey" means to
the rest of the world. Few places are
as popularly known as Hershey, for
any man acquainted with current
events of the past quarter-century
can give the history of the foundation
and growth of this unusual little town.
Being familiar with the history and
work of Hershey, and seeing the place
itself are two different situations.
The impressions carried away by
transient guests are widely different
from those of people whose opinions
can be governed only by "hearsay."
Perhaps these impressions will not
coincide with those of the Hershey
people, for they are gained from an-other
standpoint.
