Creating a separate Wikipedia page for H.B. Reese Candy Company and its predecessors
The H.B. Reese Wikipedia page covers many biographical points about the man and his accomplishments. But the company that he formed to produce what has become one of the largest confectionery brands in the world is covered in just a few lines. From its formation in 1923 to the early success with a penny candy that generated enough profit to pay off both a factory and a home mortgage during the Great Depression; then the subsequent tax-free merger with The Hershey Company 40 years later - this is a true American success story. I think this company has a story deserving of its own Wikipedia page. What do others think? Abh32956 (talk) 19:35, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

Did he quit, or was he fired from The Hershey Company
The article mentions that H.B. Reese was fired from The Hershey Company with the closure of the Round Barn. Meanwhile, the cited source reads "He enjoyed enough success to quit his steady job in the factory". 216.211.18.50 (talk) 21:33, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
