Klein's 3 Cent Chocolate Lunch Bar - 1913-1970

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.

Old Gas Station

Absolutely nothing on Internet in terms of archival information for me on this one. Just the truck below and positioning of skylights on old building with modern facades from above Google photo, but in the same type of business as building originally set up for. 

Guessing that might be Alexander on motorcycle.

On truck "Blue Anchor Beverage Co."  at "5th and Rising Sun Ave" making local deliveries? as to clue of location of "Christy & Ries General Auto Repairing".
