Milton Hershey believed that one of the great values of money was how it could benefit others. He also understood that good works would ultimately be good for business. As his business soared, even during the Great Depression, Hershey used his chocolate fortune to develop and support his two primary loves: the town of Hershey and his Industrial School for orphan boys.
