Success with caramels

Milton Hershey sold his hugely successful Lancaster Caramel Company in 1900 for one million dollars to the American Caramel Company, his largest competitor. Half of the purchase price was satisfied with American Caramel Company stock. Selling the Caramel Company provided Milton Hershey with the capital needed to build his vision of a thriving business surrounded by a model industrial town.
