EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the bustling Pan Floor of the Hershey Sugar Refinery in Central Hershey, Cuba, during the 1920s. The image transports us back in time, providing a window into the daily life of the sugar industry during this era. The Pan Floor, a critical component of the sugar refining process, is where the raw sugarcane juice is boiled and crystallized into granulated sugar. The workers, dressed in traditional Cuban attire, can be seen tending to the large copper pans filled with the simmering liquid. The steam rises from the pans, creating a misty atmosphere that adds to the intrigue and mystery of the scene. The workers' focused expressions and the precise, synchronized movements of their actions convey the intensity and dedication required to produce sugar in this era. The equipment, including the large copper pans and the overhead stirrers, are impressive in their size and complexity, reflecting the industrial might of the sugar industry during the 1920s. The sugar industry was a significant commodity in Cuba during this time, and the Hershey Refinery was a vital player in the trade. The refinery was established in 1917 by the American chocolate manufacturer, Milton S. Hershey, as part of his efforts to secure a steady supply of raw sugar for his chocolate factories in the United States. The refinery operated until 1960, when the Cuban Revolution led to its nationalization. This photograph is a testament to the hard work, innovation, and industry that defined the sugar trade in Cuba during the 1920s. It offers a unique perspective on the people, processes, and equipment that brought sweetness to the world.
