Though it has not advertised since 1909, Hershey is the world's biggest chocolate company. It uses 240,000 qt. of milk and three carloads of sugar a day. It produces about 45% of all the cocoa and chocolate products consumed in the U. S. Over half of its total sales are accounted for by the Hershey bar (almond and plain, 5? and 10?). The rest comes from breakfast cocoa, chocolate syrup, chocolate covering for "enrobing" the candy of other manufacturers. On windless summer days the town of Hershey, Pa. (pop. 2,500) is permeated by a sweet sickish...

No one had forgotten his subsequent practice of arresting subway smokers on the spot...
...meagre hosts of British Fascism won a great victory last week over cocoa. Last February the London Evening Star of the cocoa-famed Cadbury brothers incautiously reported a debate between Fascist Leader Sir Oswald Mosley and Laborite James Maxton. "Sir Oswald," said the Evening Star, "warned Maxton that he and his Fascists would be ready to take over the government with the aid of machine guns when the moment arrived...
...from the Caribbean that the 25-year search of Dr. Raymond Ditmars, New York Zoological Park's famed reptile man. was over at last. His bushmaster, a great snake whose bite is the deadliest in the American tropics, had been caught by a white laborer on a Trinidad cocoa plantation. Half the length to which a bushmaster may grow (12 ft.), it behaved characteristically by refusing to eat. But it drank copiously, gave every indication of a willingness to bite Dr. Ditmars at the first opportunity. Should that happen, with no serum handy, Dr. Ditmars would probably...
