Hershey Chocolate Company began marketing its standard size chocolate bars for a nickel ($. 05) in 1900, setting a standard for the United States confectionery industry that continued until 1969.
Many candy bars in the 50's were only 5 cents for a full bar of chocolate. Some, however, were twice that. If you were a big spender, you could spring for a Mounds or an Almond Joy candy bar for 10 cents.
In 1964, miniature bars sold for 39 cents ($2.99) for nine ounces, this week, they were bundled with Baby Ruth and other Nestlé candies for $6.99 per 20-ounce bag, or $3.15 for nine ounces. (Baby Ruth was also sold in 1964, but was packaged in a way that makes price comparisons difficult.)

Then, in 1969, there was a new standard Snickers bar. It weighed a hefty 2.3 ounces, nearly twice as much as the old one. The price was twice as much, too -- 10 cents. More price increases followed, as Snickers climbed to 15 cents in 1973, 20 cents in 1976 and 25 cents in 1978.

The child in the cocoa bean pod logo was used until 1968 when the chocolate company reorganized as Hershey Foods Corporation. At that time a stylized letter “H” became the new trademark symbol.
More price increases followed, as Snickers climbed to 15 cents in 1973, 20 cents in 1976 and 25 cents in 1978. Other candy companies made price and weight adjustments in their bars at essentially the same points in recent years. But not this time.
The logo itself contains a tree, but the color brown denotes it as a organic, quality product.
Milton Hershey was a pioneer when it came to brand building. Beginning with the trademarked design of the “Child in the Cocoa Bean Pod” logo in August 1898, Hershey's various product packaging shared a common element.
