Immigrants William and Frederick Klein, in their twenties, developed and sold their budget conscience chocolate bar of high quality chocolate and made with fresh Pennsylvania farm milk, after having been employed by Milton Hershey in his R & D department, setting up shop in Elizabethtown Pa. The company was family owned from 1913 until sold to Mars in 1970.
A standard treat as in trick or treat in the Harrowgate neighborhood of my youth.
Loved Klein bars! I remember my mom melting them and spooning it over ice cream. In the 50's it was a candy most kids could afford. Just about the price of a pop bottle deposit.
