ACCURACY on the new time-and-temperature six by ten
feet clock on the Hershey National Bank and Hershey Trust
Company Building is assured. The time element in the clock is
keyed to National Observatory Time in Washington, D.C. In addi-tion,
an element is installed which makes the clock automatically
self-adjusting as to time correctness every 24 hours!
Hershey's New Time-And-Temperature
Clock Unique; Controls Inside Clock
A: new time-and-temperature clock has been installed
on the building of the Hershey National Bank and Hershey
Trust Company.
John B. Sollenberger, President of The Hershey. Na-tional
Bank and Hershey Trust Company,' and Vice Presi-dent
Arthur 11. Whiteman, said the clock will be of real
itTislitnce and convenience to the public in Hershey.
Measuring six by ten feet, the
clock shows the time in electric
lights, with the time numerals
staying on for four seconds. The
temperature numerals then flash
on for four seconds. However, each
set of numerals flicks on and off
six times during these four-second
intervals.
Hershey's new time-and-temper-ature
clock is unique in that the
controls are inside the clock itself.
Most other clocks on the market
have the control panels inside the
building; usually located in the
basement. In such clocks, the con-trol
panels make several thousand
circuit connections daily and the
clicking sound in the clock from
these constantly-changing breakers
can be heard at a distance.
Some bulbs in the clock blink on
and off up to 1,000 times daily,
while others click on only once or
twice. Hence, servicing the clock
is no easy job. To solve this prob-lem,
the manufacturers, the Cutler
Electric Products Company, of
Philadelphia, have worked out a
sequence chart for these bulbs.
They can determine by its position
the life expectancy of each one of
the lights.
When the clock is serviced, which
is about once a month, bulbs that
are nearing the end of their life
expectancy are removed.
To assure its accuracy, the time
element in the clock is keyed to
National Observatory Time in
Washington, D.C. In addition, as
element is installed which makes
the clock automatically self-adjust-ing
as to time correctness every
24 hours. Thus, everyone in Her-shey
can set his or her watch, by
The Hershey National Bank's time-and-
temperature clock with confi-dence,
knowing that it is the most
accurate time possible.

Rose Garden Will Be A Memorial Day Attraction
Now in its 24th year, beautiful
Hershey Rose Garden will be a
Memorial Day week-end attraction
for thousands.
It was in 1936 that the late M. S.
Hershey conceived the idea of es-tablishing
"a nice garden of roses"
south of Hotel Hershey.
Plans were drawn and construe-tion
started in July, 1936. The first
planting of 12,500 roses in 112 vari-eties
was completed in late Octob-er
and early November.
The garden was opened to visi-tors
in late May, 1937. The first
week-end in June, when the roses
were in full bloom, more than 20 -
000 people visited the Garden.
