    Description

    Vintage illustrated business correspondence envelope from Hershey Chocolate Corporation. The Most Complete Manufacturer of Chocolate and Cocoa. 19 East Chocolate Avenue, Hershey, PA. I do not see a year on the postmark, but I believe this envelope was mailed in 1959. 3-cent postage meter stamp from Hershey, Pennsylvania.
    The corporate logo illustration depicts a little boy drinking a cup of hot chocolate, nestled in a large cocoa bean hanging from a tree. The company ink stamp over the return address says: “Hershey’s Instant Cocoa Mix. Delicious hot or cold.”
    The addressee is located at “411 Pensdale Street, Philadelphia, Penna.”
    Condition is used. There is some fading, yellowing, wrinkling, creasing, edge wear and foxing to the envelope. The flap opening on the reverse is located on the bottom of the envelope as opposed to the customary location on the postage edge. There is some paper loss on the envelope flap. Please zoom all photos for condition details.
    Measures approximately 6-1/2 x 3-1/8 inches.
