It's August 1893 at the world's fair in Chicago, Illinois

Milton Hershey pushes through the crowd inside a magnificent Renaissance style hall

Building is enormous 850 feet long by 500 feet wide and on display here are hundreds of new

Contractions machines that shoot steam into the air others that turn wood pulp into paper or weave silk into fine garments and

All of them draw far more attention from the crowds than the exhibit that Milton is here to see

The slightly built moustache O35 year old is the founder of the successful Lancaster Caramel Company

He's been to the exposition several times this summer and he keeps returning to this place the machinery hall

He comes to see one sight in particular a full-scale production line of new candy making equipment

But none of it is of use to a caramel factory

Instead its sole purpose is to produce chocolate. Oh here it is. It's just marvelous. Come on Frank. Don't dawdle

Milton turns to his 38-year-old cousin Frank Snaveli who was struggling to reach the front of the crowd

Frank is the manager of Lancaster Caramel's Chicago plant and one of Milton's oldest friends. I'm sorry Milton. I'm trying

Excuse me. Where are you going?

Frank has barely reached the front when Milton ducks under the rope separating the crowd from the machines

He backends for Frank to follow but his cousin hesitates. I don't know Milton. Aren't we meant to stay on this side of the rope?

Oh, I just want us to get a closer look now when stop me before come on

Reluctantly Frank follows him under the rope then two men move down the production line

Not see Frank. This is the oven for roasting the coca beans

Then the beans get ground and haul

And this machine is called a cum. It rolls the beans into a case

Which is then mixed with sugar and vanilla and cocoa butter that all goes into these molds and when that cools
