1. “They wouldn't risk any more money on his dreams for the first time in his life, Milton Hershey was without the support of his family. But as much as he may have felt adrift and alone, Milton had been liberated too. Years later he would say that he realized he had become like his father, a black sheep in the eyes of his family. This rejection was a great motivator. Alone in a rented room at a warehouse Milton began to make candy. He sold it himself from a hand basket on the streets of Lancaster. This is Lancaster, Pennsylvania. He did well enough to buy a push cart and then moved to a larger space. In the new space, Hershey had the room to make his special caramels on a large scale. But before he could start, he needed $700 to buy equipment. He decides to go to a local bank, and this is just wild. What's going to happen here? Lancaster County National Bank, which had done substantial business with his relatives.”
