    By 1867, Hershey’s father “had largely cut himself out of the family picture” (Milton). Following an incomplete rural school education, he was apprenticed at the age of fifteen but was fired shortly after. Four years later, Hershey borrowed one hundred and fifty dollars from a gracious aunt to set up his own shop in the heart of Philadelphia. For five long years Hershey put everything he had into the business. But success eluded him, he finally closed shop and headed west to reunite with his father. With his father, Hershey found work with a confectioner. But the entrepreneur in Hershey was not content to work for someone else, and he then struck out on his own again.

Then in 1883, he returned to Lancaster and still convinced that he could construct a successful candy company, started the Lancaster Carmel Company. Within a few short years Hershey had a successful and thriving business.

In 1900, Hershey sold the Lancaster Caramel Company for a staggering one million dollars and started a new company. Quickly, the Hershey Chocolate Company surpassed the founder’s previous venture.…

    However, he started making caramel and established Lancaster Caramel Company. He created an overwhelmingly successful chocolate company, Hershey Chocolate Company, thanks to the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. The World’s Columbian Exposition was a festival to celebrate the four hundred years since Christopher Columbus’s discovery of the New World. At the inspiration of the food exhibit, which was manufacturing chocolates, Hershey bought a lot of machinery and began creating chocolate. He created the chocolate company originally as a coating for the caramels in Lancaster. He was able to develop his own recipe similar to the Swiss-exclusive recipe to produce milk chocolate.
