Milton S. Hershey's third confectionery venture and first taste of success, this company manufactured his top-of-the-line caramels under the Crystal A trademark and employed 1,400 workers across 4 factories. In spring 1900, Mr. Hershey sold the business for $1 million to pursue chocolate, believing that "Caramels are a fad, but chocolate is permanent."
