The Founders of Famous Food Companies
Enslow Publishers, Inc. 2002

Today, people everywhere are familiar with Hershey's Chocolate, Kellogg's Corn Flakes, and Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream. But these names were not always so widespread, and the founders of these companies did not always have an easy time getting started. Through hard work, perseverance, and ingenuity, figures such as Milton S. Hershey, W.K. Kellogg, and Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield turned homemade kitchen secrets into million dollar corporations. Other company founders included are Colonel Harland Sanders, Dave Thomas, Wally Amos, Paul Newman, Debbi Fields, Ray Kroc, and Margaret Rudkin.
