the hershey kisses were first introduced in 1907. at first, the hershey kisses were wrapped by hands and fingers but in 1921, a machine was made so the kisses would be wrapped automatically. brothers walter, howard and raymond phillippy made improvements, such as devices to reject misshapen kisses and position unwrapped candies upright. this is also when the plume was added.

hershey creamery has been involved in multiple legal disputes with the similarly named hershey company, founded around the same time in the city of lancaster by milton s. hershey—despite the proximity, no relation to the founding hershey brothers. the first troubles came after the hershey creamery began producing chocolate candy and cocoa. milton s. hershey learned of the candies in 1919, and assigned charles ziegler to "find instances of confusion and infringement and of unfair competition". ziegler found that in addition to making similar products, the packaging used on the chocolates resembled that used by hershey company—then called hershey chocolate. investigating complaints from retailers in boston, new york, binghamton, norfolk, and richmond, ziegler reportedly found that retailers were confusing the two products, and sometimes deliberately replacing the higher priced hershey company products with the hershey creamery products. in harrisburg, ziegler found a display of hershey creamery "hershey kisses", which were bite-sized chocolate drops similar to the chocolate company's creations. after cease and desist letters failed to resolve the problem, milton hershey filed suit in 1921 in the united states district court for the middle district of pennsylvania for trademark infringement. in 1926, a district judged partially sided with hershey chocolate and prohibited the creamery from using the name hershey's in connection with "manufacture, advertisement, distribution, or sale of, among other things, chocolate, cocoa, chocolate confections, and chocolate or cocoa products".
