KLEIN'S
School Days are Klein Days
Mothers, give the children Klein's! Let them have it every day for their recess lunch - teach them to enjoy it.
Aside from being a most deliciously tasteful chocolate candy, Klein's has real nutrative value. Every bar the children eat is equivalent to drinking a tumbler of sweet, creamy milk.

1868 The boiler of a locomotive exploded at Port Jervis, N. Y., on the 17th, instantly killing the engineer, Fred Hardenburg.
The fireman was in front of the engine and escaped unharmed. Hardenburg was carried over the top of trees near by, and was found 150 feet from the engine, his body horribly mangled and wedged in between two stumps. The dome of the engine went through the roof of a house 200 feet distant, passing through a bedroom, fortunately unoccupied, landing in the kitchen below.
